### Line Segment and Volume of a Cone Example

Given the line segment \( y = \frac{a}{h} x \), where \( 0 \leq x \leq h \)

#### Part (a) Graph the Line Segment

Graph this line segment for \( 0 \leq x \leq h \) in the space below:

```
y-axis
|     .
|    /  
|   /    
|  /
| /  
|/__________________ x-axis
```

#### Part (b) Rotation to Generate a Cone

Rotate this line segment about the x-axis will generate the cone with length \( h \) and radius of \( a \).

Use any integral method to show that the volume of this cone is:

\[ V = \frac{\pi}{3} h a^2 \] 

(Note: This is the volume formula of a cone.)

**Instruction:** Must work the integral out by hand and show all steps.

### Detailed Explanation of the Integral Process

To find the volume of the cone by rotating the line segment \( y = \frac{a}{h} x \) around the x-axis, we use the disk method. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. **Set Up the Integral:**
   Each disk's radius \( y \) is given by \( y = \frac{a}{h} x \). The volume \( V \) of the cone can be computed by integrating the area of these disks along the x-axis from 0 to \( h \):

   \[
   V = \pi \int_0^h \left(\frac{a}{h}x\right)^2 dx
   \]

2. **Simplify the Integral:**
   Substitute \( y = \frac{a}{h} x \):

   \[
   V = \pi \int_0^h \left(\frac{a^2}{h^2} x^2\right) dx
   \]

3. **Factor Out Constants:**
   \[
   V = \frac{\pi a^2}{h^2} \int_0^h x^2 dx
   \]

4. **Integrate \( x^2 \):**
   Use the power rule for integration:

   \[
   \int x^2 dx = \frac{x^3}{3}
   \]

5. **Evaluate the Integral:**
