Volume of the solid from rotating four curves

80 Views Asked by At

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis.

y=5+1/(x^2), y=5, x=3, x=6; about the x-axis.

I'm not sure how to solve this because there are four curves that we're dealing with in the question.

Make a sketch and note that

  • for $x=3 \implies y=1+\frac1{x^2}=\frac{10}9$
  • for $x=6 \implies y=1+\frac1{x^2}=\frac{37}{36}$

therefore the set up is

$$V=\int_a^b \pi \left(y_{max}(x)-y_{min}(x)\right)^2 dx$$
