Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by y=e^(3x)+2, y=0, x=0, and x=.2 about the y-axis
To find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by the given curves about the y-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
Step 1: Determine the limits of integration
From the given information, we can see that the region is enclosed between y = e^(3x) + 2, y = 0, x = 0, and x = 0.2. We need to integrate with respect to x, so the limits of integration will be x = 0 to x = 0.2.
Step 2: Set up the integral
The formula for the volume using cylindrical shells is V = 2π ∫[a,b] x * f(x) * dx, where a and b are the limits of integration, and f(x) is the equation for the curve being rotated.
In this case, x represents the radius of each cylindrical shell, and f(x) represents the height of each shell. Therefore, the integral becomes:
V = 2π ∫[0,0.2] x * (e^(3x) + 2) * dx
Step 3: Evaluate the integral
Now you can integrate the expression. Integrating separately for each term, we get:
V = 2π ∫[0,0.2] (x * e^(3x) + 2x) * dx
To evaluate this integral, you can break it down into two separate integrals:
V = 2π ∫[0,0.2] (x * e^(3x)) * dx + 2π ∫[0,0.2] (2x) * dx
For the first integral, apply integration by parts, where u = x and dv = e^(3x) dx. Simplify the integral using the product rule and integrate by parts until you can evaluate the definite integral. Similarly, evaluate the second integral using the power rule.
After evaluating both integrals, substitute the limits of integration (0 and 0.2) and compute the result.
Step 4: Calculate the final result
Once you have calculated the numerical value of the integral, multiply it by 2π to get the volume. The resulting value will represent the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by the curves about the y-axis.
Remember to round your answer to an appropriate number of decimal places, if necessary.
