Find the exact volume

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

Greetings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer to your question is, "Yes."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R is bounded above by y=x^2+1 and below by the x axis and by the lines x=1 and 4 Region R is revolved around the y axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, washer method I take it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer wld be yes

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[2\pi\int_{1}^{4}(x^2+1)xdx\]I think...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Turing's got it.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

why is it 2 times @turing?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

shell method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because 2piR is the circumference hence the length of the rectangular slice

OpenStudy (turingtest):

each shell is area 2pirh=2xf(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh is it called "shell" method? my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotta digest this one

OpenStudy (turingtest):

it'll help to try to draw a picture, but it's hard on this site...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I wish I had an electronic writing pad or something. Maybe that'll be my next computer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm R u sure u use the shell method? Dont we use the washer method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The washer method would be ugly. We could do it though, I think, if we inverted the equation.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1329883586242:dw|here's our function f if we try to use washer we would have to change it in terms of y and do 'washer method' from .,... yeah what badref said
