find the volume of the solid obtianed by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the line x=6
x=y^2 , x=1
To find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves x = y^2 and x = 1 about the line x = 6, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's sketch the region and the axis of rotation. The region is bounded by the curves x = y^2 and x = 1, and we are rotating it about the line x = 6.
Next, we need to find the limits of integration for the integral that will give us the volume.
To do this, we need to find the points of intersection between the curves x = y^2 and x = 1.
Setting the curves equal to each other, we get:
y^2 = 1
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
y = ±1
So, the region of interest is bounded by y = -1 and y = 1.
Now, let's consider an infinitesimally thin strip or shell of height dy at a specific value of y.
The radius of this shell is the distance between the axis of rotation, x = 6, and the curve x = y^2.
The radius is given by:
radius = 6 - y^2
The differential volume element, dV, of this shell is given by the circumference of the shell times the height of the shell:
dV = 2π(radius)(dy)
Substituting the radius, we get:
dV = 2π(6 - y^2)(dy)
To find the total volume, we integrate the differential volume element over the range of y from -1 to 1:
V = ∫[from -1 to 1] 2π(6 - y^2)(dy)
Evaluating this integral will give us the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region about the line x = 6.
