Question
Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. Sketch the region, the solid, and a typical disk or washer.
y = 1/x, y = 0, x = 1, x = 4; about the x-axis
Solution
The first step in solving 6.2 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. Sketch the region, the solid, and a typical disk or washer.y = 1/x, y = 0, x = 1, x = 4; about the x-axis
