Volumes of Revolution The Shell Method Lesson 7. 3
Find the volume generated when this shape is revolved about the y axis. We can’t solve for x, so we can’t use a horizontal slice directly. 2
If we take a vertical slice and revolve it about the y-axis we get a cylinder. 3
Shell Method • Based on finding volume of cylindrical shells § Add these volumes to get the total volume • Dimensions of the shell Radius of the shell § Thickness of the shell § Height § 4
The Shell • Consider the shell as one of many of a dx solid of revolution f(x) – g(x) x g(x) • The volume of the solid made of the sum of the shells 5
Try It Out! • Consider the region bounded by x = 0, y = 0, and 6
Hints for Shell Method • Sketch the graph over the limits of integration • Draw a typical shell parallel to the axis of revolution • Determine radius, height, thickness of shell • Volume of typical shell • Use integration formula 7
Rotation About x-Axis • Rotate the region bounded by y = 4 x and y = x 2 about the x-axis thickness = dy radius = y • What are the dimensions needed? radius § height § thickness § 8
Rotation About Noncoordinate Axis • Possible to rotate a region around any line g(x) f(x) x=a • Rely on the basic concept behind the shell method 9
Rotation About Noncoordinate Axis • What is the radius? r f(x) g(x) a–x • What is the height? f(x) – g(x) x=c x=a • What are the limits? c<x<a • The integral: 10
Try It Out • Rotate the region bounded by 4 – x 2 , x = 0 and, y = 0 about the line x = 2 r=2 -x 4 – x 2 • Determine radius, height, limits 11
Try It Out • Integral for the volume is 12
