Solid of revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Best to draw a graph of the region to be revolved.
Suppose integrating with respect to x... mark in a little 'Reimann strip'.
Imagine revolving the strip around the y-axis... yes, a cylindrical shell, so you're integrating with respect to the right variable for shells.
And the expression to integrate will be the circumference 2 pi x times the length of the strip. (4 - x^2 the first time and ln(x) - 0 the second.)
If you've drawn the sketch the limits will be apparent.
thanks, but for number 1, it says that x=0 and the problem does not mention how far it goes to; or is it automatically 1 when it's not mentioned?
oh never mind i got it. i graphed it and got the answers. thanks a lot for you help n__n i greatly appreciate it.
