Problem 44E
Volumes of solids Find the volume of the following solids.
The region bounded by y = and y = 4 is revolved about the x-axis.
Answer;
Step 1; In this problem we need to find the volume of the solid founded by the region bounded by y = , and y =4 is revolved about the x-axis.
In order to find the volume, we will be using the following condition.
If f and g are the functions such that and g(x)
, for all
in the interval
, then the volume of the solid generated by revolving, around the x axis, the region bounded by the graph of
, g and the vertical lines
and
is given by the integral
