ok Here is my answer: 5pi/2. the question is below; it's simpler that way.
Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid resulting from the region enclosed by the curves when revolved around the y-axis. I'm not sure if this is classified as calc or differential equations, so here it is.\[y=\sqrt[3]{x}\], y=0, and x=1. the cylindrical shell method is: \[\int\limits_{a}^{b} 2\pi (shell radius)(shell height) dx\]
So first and always draw a picture
I did the work. I just want to know if I got the right answer. if I didn't, than I will go back through my work. I am simply looking for confirmation or negation of my answer.
ok, well, tell me what you used as your radius to start
1, since it's around the y axis and the shell ends at x=1
alright and your height?
the curve y= the cubed root of x to y=0. essentially the cubed root of x.
ok, now tell, me, on your radius, why didn't you subtract something to account for the change in radius due to the hole in the middle?
subtract what?
the inner radius or x or something?
i am not aware of anything to subtract. the only thing I could think of to do so would be x=0, since that's where the y axis is. nothing else was specified in my problem, so that is my assumption.
I guess, (I am not as familiar with shell as ring, which you could use to check) i am wondering, will the radius always be 1 for each shell? or will it slowly move inwards as the function moves outwards
