i) You should notice that

A_"shaded"= A_"rectangle" - A_"under root graph"Ashaded=ArectangleAunder root graph

A_"shaded" = 2 - int_0^1 sqrt(3x+ 1) dxAshaded=2103x+1dx

The integral can be evaluated thru a simple u-substitution. Let u = 3x + 1u=3x+1. Then du = 3dxdu=3dx and dx = (du)/3dx=du3.

A_"shaded" = 2- 1/3int_1^4 sqrt(u) duAshaded=21341udu

A_"shaded" = 2 - 1/3[2/3u^(3/2)]_1^4Ashaded=213[23u32]41

A_"shaded" = 2 - 1/3[2/3(4)^(3/2) - 2/3(1)^(3/2)]Ashaded=213[23(4)3223(1)32]

A_"shaded" = 2 - 1/3(16/3 - 2/3)Ashaded=213(16323)

A_"shaded" = 2 - 14/9Ashaded=2149

A_"shaded" = 4/9Ashaded=49

ii) What we essentially have to do is find the volume if the area under the line y= 2y=2 on [0, 1][0,1] is rotated around the x-axis and then subtract the volume if the area under y = sqrt(3x + 1)y=3x+1 on [0, 1][0,1] is rotated around the x-axis.

V = piint_0^1 2^2dx - pi int_0^1 (sqrt(3x + 1))^2 dxV=π1022dxπ10(3x+1)2dx

V = pi[4x]_0^1 - pi[3/2x^2 + x]_0^1 dxV=π[4x]10π[32x2+x]10dx

V = 4pi - pi(3/2 + 1)V=4ππ(32+1)

V = 4pi - 3/2pi - piV=4π32ππ

V = 3/2 piV=32π

V = 0.477V=0.477

iii) I will let another contributor do this one.

Hopefully this helps!
