Find the Volume of Rotated Shaded Region Bounded by y=x^2+1, y=5, and y-axis

In summary, we can find the volume of the solid formed when the shaded region is rotated about the y-axis by using either the disk method or the shell method. Using the disk method, we integrate from 1 to 5 using the equation $\displaystyle V=\pi\int_1^5 y-1\,dy$, while using the shell method, we integrate from 0 to 2 using the equation $\displaystyle V=2\pi\int_0^2 4x-x^3\,dx$. The resulting volume will be the same regardless of the method used.

In the diagram, the shaded region is bounded by the parabola y = x2 + 1, the y-axis and the line y = 5.

Got no diagram but limits will be 2-0 coz its on right side

Using the first quadrant area, and the disk method, we may state:

$\displaystyle dV=\pi x^2\,dy$

Since we have $\displaystyle x^2=y-1$ we may state:

$\displaystyle dV=\pi(y-1)\,dy$

And by integration, we have:

$\displaystyle V=\pi\int_1^5 y-1\,dy$

Using the shell method, we find:

$\displaystyle dV=2\pi x(5-y)\,dx$

Since $\displaystyle y=x^2+1$, we may state:

$\displaystyle dV=2\pi x(5-(x^2+1))\,dx=2\pi(4x-x^3)\,dx$

And by integration, we have:

$\displaystyle V=2\pi\int_0^2 4x-x^3\,dx$
 

FAQ: Find the Volume of Rotated Shaded Region Bounded by y=x^2+1, y=5, and y-axis

What is the shaded region bounded by y=x^2+1, y=5, and y-axis?

The shaded region is the area between the curves y=x^2+1 and y=5, bounded by the y-axis.

How do I find the volume of the shaded region?

The volume of the shaded region can be found by rotating the shaded area around the y-axis and using the disk or washer method.

What is the formula for the disk method?

The formula for the disk method is V = π ∫a^b (f(x))^2 dx, where a and b are the bounds of integration and f(x) is the function defining the shaded region.

What is the formula for the washer method?

The formula for the washer method is V = π ∫a^b (f(x))^2 - (g(x))^2 dx, where a and b are the bounds of integration, f(x) is the outer function, and g(x) is the inner function defining the shaded region.

What are the steps to find the volume using the disk or washer method?

The steps to find the volume are: 1) Determine the bounds of integration by finding the x-values where the curves intersect, 2) Set up the integral using the appropriate formula (disk or washer), 3) Evaluate the integral, and 4) Add any necessary constants or adjust for rotation around a different axis.
