A solid is formed by rotating the region bounded by y = x − x^2 and y = 0 about the line x = 2 . Use the shell method to find the volume of the solid.

The volume of the resulting solid is π/2 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the diagram below.

The shell method is given by:

Where the representative rectangle is parallel to the axis of revolution, r(x) is the distance from the axis of revolution to the center of the rectangle, and h(x) is the height of the rectangle.

From the diagram, we can see that r(x) = (2 - x) and that h(x) is simply y. The limits of integration are from a = 0 to b = 1. Therefore:

Evaluate:

The volume of the resulting solid is π/2 cubic units.

pi/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I always like to draw an illustration for these problems.

For shells method think volume of cylinder=2pi×r×h

Integrate(2pi(2-x)(x-x^2) ,x=0...1)

Multiply

Integrate(2pi(2x-2x^2-x^2+x^3 ,x=0...1)

Combine like terms

Integrate(2pi(2x-3x^2+x^3) ,x=0...1)

Begin to evaluate

2pi(2x^2/2-3x^3/3+x^4/4) ,x=0...1

2pi(x^2-x^3+x^4/4), x=0...1

2pi(1-1+1/4)

2pi/4

pi/2
