calculus 2: volume of solid of revolution formed by rotation of region

388 Views Asked by At

Find the integral for the volume of the solid of revolution formed by rotating the region $R$ bounded by the curves $y = 4+x^2,\;x=0,\;y=0,\;and\;x=1\;$ about the $x$-axis in terms of $dx $ and $ dy$

I am still learning this so I would appreciate details! Thanks.

Edit:

Is this correct for dy?: $$A=\pi(\sqrt{y-4})^2 \\V=\pi\int_0^1(y-4)dy=\\\pi\big(\frac{y^2}2-4y\big)\left.\right\vert_{0}^{1}=\\\pi\big(\frac12-4\big)-0=\boxed{-3\frac{1}{2}\pi}$$

Hint:

The volume of the solid of revolution formed by rotating the curve $y=f(x)$ between $x=a$ and $x=b$ about the $x$-as is given by

$$\pi\int_a^b(f(x))^2\,dx$$

Hence, the volume in your problem is given by $$\pi\int_0^1(4+x^2)^2\,dx$$

Can you work out this integral?


Worked out solution:

$$\pi\int_0^1(4+x^2)^2\,dx=\pi\int_0^116+8x^2+x^4\,dx=\pi\big(16x+\frac83x^2+\frac15x^5\big)\left.\right\vert_{0}^{1}=\pi\big(16+\frac83+\frac15\big)=\boxed{18\frac{13}{15}\pi}$$
