Example 1: Using the Washer Method


Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of ! ! "" = "
and ! = " ! about the x-axis. Sketch the graph and draw a representative rectangle.

8.12 Volume with Washer Method: Revolving Around Other Axes

Example 1: Washer Method Using Other Axes of Revolution - I


Set up, but do not solve, an expression involving one or more integrals that would compute the volume of the
solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of ! = " ! + "# ! = $# " = $# %&'(%" = " about the line
! = !! .
Shade the region being revolved, draw the axis of revolution, and draw representative rectangles for R and r.
Example 2: Washer Method Using Other Axes of Revolution - II
Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of
! = " ! + "# ! = $# " = $# %&'(%" = " about the line ! = !! .
Shade the region being revolved, draw the axis of revolution, and draw representative rectangles for R and r.

Example 3: Washer Method Using Other Axes of Revolution - III


Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of
! = " ! + "# ! = $# " = $# %&'(%" = " about the line ! = ! .
Shade the region being revolved, draw the axis of revolution, and draw representative rectangles for R and r.
