Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.
y = 3 sin x, y = 3 cos x, 0 ≤ x ≤ π/4; about y = −1
To find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the given region about the line y = -1, we can use the method of cylindrical shells. The volume formula for cylindrical shells is V = ∫2πy * h * dx, where y is the height of the shell, h is the length of the shell, and dx is the width of the shell.
First, let's find the limits of integration for x. We are given that 0 ≤ x ≤ π/4, so these will be our limits for integration.
The height of the shell, y, is the difference between the two functions: y = (3sin(x)) - (3cos(x)).
The length of the shell, h, is the difference between the two y-values at a given x: h = y - (-1) = y + 1.
Now, let's calculate the volume according to the cylindrical shell method:
V = ∫(0 to π/4) 2π[(3sin(x)) - (3cos(x))] * [(3sin(x)) - (3cos(x))] * dx
Simplifying the equation, we have:
V = ∫(0 to π/4) 2π[9sin²(x) - 6sin(x)cos(x) + 9cos²(x)] * dx
Now, integrating this equation will give us the volume of the solid:
V = 2π∫(0 to π/4) [9sin²(x) - 6sin(x)cos(x) + 9cos²(x)] * dx
To evaluate this integral, you can use any suitable mathematical software or consult integral tables for trigonometric functions.
Once you evaluate the integral, you will have the volume, V, of the solid.
