Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves

about the specified line.

1. 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 , 𝑦 = 0, 𝑥 = 1, about 𝑥 = 2.

2. 𝑥 = 𝑦 2 , 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑦 2, about 𝑥 = 3.

Solutions:

Problem 1:

Given curves: 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 , 𝑦 = 0, 𝑥 = 1, about 𝑥 = 2.

1. Identify the region: Visualize the region bounded by the curves 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 , 𝑦 = 0, and the
vertical line 𝑥 = 1. This region lies between the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 and the x-axis from 𝑥 = 0 to
𝑥 = 1.

A small slice of the region is drawn (blue color) parallel to axis of rotation. this thin slice forms
a cylindrical shell
The volume of one shell is

𝑉𝑖 = 2𝜋𝑟𝑖 ℎ𝑖 ∆𝑥𝑖
Were,

𝑟𝑖 = 2 − 𝑥𝑖

ℎ𝑖 = 𝑥𝑖3

2. Set up the integral: The volume V of the solid of revolution can be calculated using the
formula for the volume of cylindrical shells:

∞ ∞ 1
𝑉 = ∑ 𝑉𝑖 = ∑(2 − 𝑥𝑖 )𝑥𝑖3 ∆𝑥𝑖 = 2𝜋 ∫ (2 − 𝑥) ⋅ 𝑥 3 𝑑𝑥
𝑖=1 𝑖=1 0
3. Integrate

Problem 2

Given curves: 𝑥 = 𝑦 2 , 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑦 2 , about 𝑥 = 3

1. Identify the region: Visualize the region bounded by the curves 𝑥 = 𝑦 2 and 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑦 2 .

Intersection points:

Using disk method, when the red line rotates around 𝑥 = 3, we get the disk

The area of the disk is

𝜋(3 − 𝑦 2 )2 − 𝜋[3 − (1 − 𝑦 2 )]2 = 𝜋[(3 − 𝑦 2 )2 − (2 + 𝑦 2 )2 ] = 𝜋(−10𝑦 2 + 5)


Then, the volume is
