Mark44 said:You need to give us the entire problem, including the axis this region has been revolved around.
After that, show us what you have tried. If you're stuck, your book most likely has some similar examples that show how to calculate volumes of revolution by cylindrical shells or by washers.
To find the volume of a solid of revolution, you need to use the formula V = π∫ba(f(x))2 dx, where a and b are the limits of integration and f(x) is the function that forms the shape of the solid when rotated around the axis of revolution.
The axis of revolution is the line or axis around which the shape is rotated to form the solid. It can be any line, such as the x-axis or y-axis, depending on the problem.
The limits of integration are the boundaries within which the function is being rotated. These can be determined by looking at the graph of the function and identifying the points where the shape begins and ends.
No, this method can only be used for solids that are formed by rotating a 2-dimensional shape around an axis of revolution. For other types of solids, different methods must be used.
Yes, there are other methods such as the disk method and the shell method. These methods involve slicing the solid into thin disks or shells and summing up their volumes to find the total volume of the solid. The method used will depend on the shape of the solid and the given information.
