The bounded area by the graph y=sqrt(x), y=x-4 and the x axis is rotated along the x axis to form a solid. Use Integration By Shells to find the Volume of the Solid.

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

This might help utilize the "Shell" method; https://www.khanacademy.org/math/integral-calculus/solid_revolution_topic/solid_of_revolution/v/solid-of-revolution-part-5

|dw:1435377786774:dw| This is the bounded area

OpenStudy (coconutjj):

Wait so how does the integral change when you rotate it around the x axis instead of y?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

With "washer method"

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

To rotate about the y-axis, swap the roles of x and y throughout the above discussion. To rotate about a different axis, change coordinates so that the axis of rotation is one of the coordinate axes, and then do the computation.

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Follow rules of "shell" and "washer" method to guide throughout finding volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

been a while, and I was never great at these so take this with a grain of salt. I believe you have to change the formulas around and integrate in terms of y. |dw:1435378239112:dw|
