Example Question #14 : Volume Of A Solid
Evaluate the following trigonometric integral:
To solve this, first factor out one cosine and write the rest in terms of sine:
From here, we can do a substitution where u=sin(x) and du=cos(x)dx:
Finally, re-substitute sin(x) for u:
Example Question #121 : Integral Applications
Using the method of cylindrical disks, find the volume of the region revolved around the x-axis of the graph of
on the interval
units cubed
units cubed
units cubed
units cubed
units cubed
The formula for volume of the region revolved around the x-axis is given as
where
As such
When taking the integral, we use the inverse power rule which states
Applying this rule term by term we get
And by the corollary of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
As such the volume is
units cubed
Example Question #1 : Volume Of Cross Sections And Area Of Region
Find the volume of the solid generated by rotating about the y-axis the region under the curve
, from to .
None of the other answers
Since we are revolving a function of
around the y-axis, we will use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume.
Using the formula for cylindrical shells, we have
.
Example Question #15 : Volume Of A Solid
Find the volume of the solid region swept out by the area bounded by the the functions
and about the -axis.
Find the volume of the solid region swept out by the area bounded by the the functions
and about the -axis.
The cross sectional area of the solid can be written as a function of
by first finding the cross-sectional areas swept out by each of the individual functions as they rotate about the x-axis, and then subtracting the inner area.Visualize a line drawn perpendicularly to the x-axis at some point meeting the function
. As we rotate about the x-axis, we sweep out a circular cross-sectional area with a radius equal to the function value at the corresponding value of . The area of this disk is therefore:
Similarly for the function
, the cross-sectional area is:
The plot of the two functions helps visualize the geometry. The parabola is clearly the "inner" radius, and therefore we must subtract the areas
from to find the cross-sectional area of the solid:
Now we must find the limits of integration by finding the intersection points.
Solve for
The other solution is
. Now simply integrate the cross sectional area over the interval to find the volume of the solid,
To simplify further, write the terms with a common denominator and factor.
Example Question #16 : Volume Of A Solid
Find the volume of solid of revolution for the given function:
.
The volume of a solid of revolution for a given function is found using the disk method. Answer is obtained upon evaluating the following integral:
Example Question #131 : Integral Applications
Approximate the length of the curve of

The length of the curve of
on the interval can be determined by evaluating the integral.
, so
, and the integral to be approximated is
We divide the interval
into four subintervals of width each, so
By Simpson's rule, we can estimate the integral by evaluating
where
We evaluate
at these points, then substitute:
The approximation is therefore
