(a) Draw two typical curves \(y=f(x)\) and \(y=g(x)\), where \(f(x) \geqslant g(x)\) for \(a \leqslant x \leqslant b\) Show how to approximate the area between these curves by a Riemann sum and sketch the corresponding approximating rectangles. Then write an expression for the exact area. (b) Explain how the situation changes if the curves have equations \(x=f(y)\) and \(x=g(y)\), where \(f(y) \geqslant g(y)\) for \(c \leqslant y \leqslant d\).

Question
Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why. If it is false, explain why or give an example that disproves the statement.
Let \(\mathscr{R}\) be the region shown.
If \(\mathscr{R}\) is revolved about the \(x\)-axis, then the volume of the resulting solid is \(V=\int_{a}^{b} \ \pi[f(x)]^{2} \ d x\).
Solution
The first step in solving 6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why. If it is false, explain why or give an example that disproves the statement.Let \(\mathscr{R}\) be the region shown.If \(\mathscr{R}\) is revolved about the \(x\)-axis, then the volume of the resulting solid is \(V=\int_{a}^{b} \ \pi[f(x)]^{2} \ d x\).
From the textbook chapter Applications of Integration you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
