How to come up with the integral for the volume of the rotation of a region bounded by curves with reference to a vertical line?
I understand the process of rotating a region with the x-axis and other lines parallel to it, but I keep having trouble formulating the integral of the equation representing the volume whenever the rotation is in reference with the y-axis and its meridians.
What I usually do in such case is that I integrate the function with respect to y
The region is bounded by the curves of:\[y=x ^{2/3}\]\[y=0\]\[x=0\]The rotation is in reference with the y-axis
draw the picture
@TuringTest yes that's a very good idea :D
It helps a lot
thanks, it's the only one I ever use
then you identify the crosssectional area
