Tuto 81 Vol of Rev Shell

This document contains 4 problems involving calculating the volume of solids of revolution using the shell method. Problem 1 revolves the region between y=x+1 and y=(x-1)2 about x=3. Problem 2 revolves the region between y=x2-x-4 and y=-x about x=-2. Problem 3 revolves the region between y=4x2, 4x+y-8=0, and the y-axis about the y-axis. Problem 4 revolves the region between y=4/x, x=1, x=4, and the x-axis about the line x=5. Answers are provided for each problem.
