Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by
y=e^(2x)+1 y=0 x=0 x=0.9
about the y-axis.
To find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by the curves around the y-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's sketch the region and the axis of rotation to get a better visual understanding of the problem. The given region is a bounded area between the curves y = e^(2x) + 1 and y = 0 for the x values between 0 and 0.9.
Next, we need to find the expression for the volume generated by a single cylindrical shell. The volume of a cylindrical shell is given by the formula:
V = 2πrh * Δx
Where:
- V is the volume of the shell
- π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159)
- r is the distance of the shell from the axis of rotation (in this case, the y-axis)
- h is the height of the shell
- Δx is the thickness of the shell (in this case, the difference between x and x+Δx)
In our case, to express the variables r and h in terms of x, we need to rewrite the equations of the curves in terms of x.
For y = e^(2x) + 1, let's solve for x:
y = e^(2x) + 1
e^(2x) = y - 1
2x = ln(y - 1)
x = (1/2) * ln(y - 1)
Now we have x in terms of y. Let's find the height h:
h = y
Since the region is being rotated about the y-axis, the distance r is simply the x-coordinate for each shell, which is equal to x.
Now we can calculate the volume of a single shell:
V = 2πrh * Δx
V = 2π(x)(y) * Δx
To find the total volume, we integrate this expression over the given range of x from 0 to 0.9:
V = ∫[0 to 0.9] 2π(x)(y) dx
Now, to evaluate this integral, we substitute the expression for y:
V = ∫[0 to 0.9] 2π(x)((e^(2x) + 1)) dx
Finally, we perform the integral numerically using numerical methods or solve it symbolically using mathematical software to find the exact volume.
Note: The exact numerical value of the volume will depend on the specific values of x and the accuracy of the calculation method used.
