jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

your image got cut off

OpenStudy (wade123):

x=7 (:

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are you able to graph the two equations? and see the region that forms between them?

OpenStudy (wade123):

i will try that now(:

OpenStudy (wade123):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you'll rotate that region in between the two graphs (in quadrant 1) around the vertical line x = 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you have to use your imagination a bit, but you'll have a donut shaped 3D solid

OpenStudy (wade123):

and what do i do after??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

check out example 2 on this page http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/VolumeWithRings.aspx it offers a visual explanation that may help. Let me know if it helps or not

OpenStudy (wade123):

ohh thats exactly what were doing here

OpenStudy (wade123):

the explanation isnt that great, i would prefer if someone did this problem with me

OpenStudy (wade123):

@ganeshie8 could you explain??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

imagine yourself looking down at the ring (from a bird's eye view) you'd get something like this |dw:1424573579250:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1424573632826:dw| are you able to generalize this region in terms of an integral?
