Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region enclosed by
y=e2x+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 given curves about the y-axis, you can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's plot the region and the curves to get a better understanding of the problem.
The curve y = e^(2x) + 1 is an exponential function that increases rapidly as x increases. We are considering the region above the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 0.9.
To rotate this region about the y-axis, we can imagine drawing vertical cylindrical shells that are stacked together along the x-axis. Each shell has a height equal to the difference between the values of the two curves at a given x-value, and its radius is the x-value itself. The thickness of each shell is dx.
The volume of each cylindrical shell is given by the formula V = 2πrhdx, where r is the radius and h is the height.
In this case, the radius r is equal to x, and the height h is equal to the difference between the values of the two curves:
h = (e^(2x) + 1) - 0 = e^(2x) + 1
Thus, the volume of each cylindrical shell can be expressed as:
dV = 2πx(e^(2x) + 1)dx
To find the total volume, we integrate this expression over the given range of x-values:
V = ∫[0 to 0.9] 2πx(e^(2x) + 1)dx
To evaluate this integral, we can use integration techniques such as integration by parts or substitution. After evaluating the integral, we will obtain the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region about the y-axis.
