Use the Shell Method to calculate the volume of rotation, V, about the x-axis for the region underneath the graph of y=(x-2)^(1/3)-2 where 10 less than or equal to x which is less than or equal to 218.
Consider the set of nested shells of thickness dy.
v = ∫[0,4] 2πrh dy
where r=y and h=218-x = (y+2)^3+2
v = ∫[0,4] 2πy(218-((y+2)^3+2)) dy = 8192π/5
as a check, using discs of thickness dx,
v = ∫[10,218] πr^2 dx
where r=y=(x-2)^(1/3)-2
v = ∫[10,218] π((x-2)^(1/3)-2)^2 dx = 8192π/5
To use the Shell Method to calculate the volume of rotation, we will integrate the volume of infinitely thin cylindrical shells.
1. First, let's determine the limits of integration. The region underneath the graph of y = (x-2)^(1/3) - 2 is defined for x between 10 and 218, so our limits of integration are x = 10 and x = 218.
2. Next, let's express the function in terms of x. Since y = (x-2)^(1/3) - 2, we can rewrite it as y + 2 = (x-2)^(1/3) and cube both sides to eliminate the fractional exponent:
(y + 2)^3 = x - 2
3. Now, we will express y in terms of x. Rearranging the equation, we get:
y = (x - 2)^(1/3) - 2
4. To calculate the volume, we will integrate the formula for the volume of a cylindrical shell:
V = 2π ∫ [x * (radius) * (height)] dx
5. The radius of each shell is the y-value, and the height is the length of the shell. Since we are rotating about the x-axis, the length of each shell is given by the difference between the x-coordinate and the x-axis.
6. The equation for the radius is translated from the y-axis to the x-axis; thus, we have:
radius = y + 2
7. The height of the shell is given by the difference between the x-coordinate and the x-axis:
height = x - 0 (since we are rotating about the x-axis)
8. Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
V = 2π∫ [(x * (y + 2) * (x - 0)] dx
9. Simplifying, we get:
V = 2π∫ [x^2 * (y + 2)] dx
10. Now we will integrate with respect to x, using the limits of integration x = 10 to x = 218:
V = 2π ∫[10 to 218] [x^2 * ((x-2)^(1/3) - 2 + 2)] dx
11. Calculate the integral:
V = 2π ∫[10 to 218] [x^2 * (x-2)^(1/3)] dx
Note: Integrating this function might be challenging analytically, so you may have to use numerical methods or software to calculate the definite integral.
12. Evaluate the integral and multiply by 2π to find the volume.
That's the step-by-step method to calculate the volume of rotation using the Shell Method for the given function.
To calculate the volume of rotation using the Shell Method, we need to integrate the cross-sectional area of the region as slices parallel to the axis of rotation (in this case, the x-axis).
Let's begin by visualizing the region described.
The graph of the function y = (x - 2)^(1/3) - 2 represents a curve on the coordinate plane. This curve starts when x is greater than or equal to 10 and ends when x is less than or equal to 218.
To find the volume, we need to rotate this region about the x-axis to form a solid.
Using the Shell Method, the volume V can be calculated as follows:
V = ∫[a, b] 2πrh dx
where a is the lower limit of integration (in this case, 10), b is the upper limit of integration (in this case, 218), h is the height of the shell, and r is the distance from the axis of rotation to the shell.
To determine h and r, we need to examine the region. In this case, we are rotating it about the x-axis, so for each x between 10 and 218, h represents the difference between the y-coordinate of the curve and the x-axis, while r is simply x.
Thus, h = y = (x - 2)^(1/3) - 2 and r = x.
Now we can rewrite V using these expressions:
V = ∫[10, 218] 2πx((x - 2)^(1/3) - 2)dx
To evaluate this integral, you can apply the power rule for integration, integrate term by term, and apply the limits of integration.
After evaluating the integral, you will find the volume V.
