Volume of Solids - PDFPDF

This document discusses two methods, disk/washer and shell, for calculating the volume of solids of revolution. It provides 4 examples of using both methods to find the volume when a region is revolved around either the x-axis or y-axis. For each example, it gives the setup for using each method and confirms the results are the same. Hints are also provided about how to set up the integrals for the disk/washer and shell methods.

Volumes of Solids of Revolution: Disk/Washer and Shell Methods

Sandra Peterson, LearningLab

For problems 1 - 2, let R be the region bounded by the given curves. Sketch R. If R is
revolved about the x-axis, find the volume of the solid of revolution (a) by the
disk/washer method, and (b) by the shell method. Show that the results are the same.
1. y = x2 2. y= x
y = 2x y = x3

For problems 3 - 4, let R be the region bounded by the given curves. Sketch R. If R is
revolved about the y-axis, find the volume of the solid of revolution (a) by the
disk/washer method, and (b) by the shell method. Show that the results are the same.
3. y = x2 4. y = 4− x2
x = y2 y =1
