rotation of a bounded area question i can't solve Write the integral in one variable to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the first-quadrant region bounded by y = 0.5x^2 and y = x about the line x = 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my trouble is mainly with the fact that the rotation is done around x=5 and not the x axis

im sure something changes but not sure what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you prefer the washer or shell method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
