Volume of solid obtained by rotating region about $x$ axis

85 Views Asked by At

Finding volume of solid (using shell method) obtained by revolving the region formed by $x=2\sqrt{y}\space ,y=-x\space, y=4$ about $x$ axis is

What i try: first we will solve $y=-x $ and $y=4$, we get $x=-4$

And we will solve $x=2\sqrt{y}$ and $y=4$, we get $x=4$

enter image description here

So volume of solid formed by rotating the region formed by $x=2\sqrt{y},y=-x$ and $y=2$ using shell method is

$$V=2\pi\int^{0}_{-4}\bigg[4-(-x)\bigg]xdx+2\pi\int^{4}_{0}\bigg[4-\frac{x^2}{4}\bigg]xdx$$

Can anyone please tell me is i am right or wrong? If wrong Then please tell me right answer

No, it is not correct. If you want to compute this volume through the shell method, what you should compute is:$$2\pi\int_0^4y\left(2\sqrt y+y\right)\,\mathrm dy=\frac{1\,408}{15}\pi.$$Or you can use the disk method:$$\pi\int_{-4}^04^2-(-x)^2\,\mathrm dx+\pi\int_0^44^2-\left(\frac{x^2}4\right)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{1\,408}{15}\pi.$$
