Suppose that f is a continuous function on [a, b], and let R be the region between the curve y = f(x)and the line y = k from x = a to x = b. Using the method of disks, derive with explanation a formula for the volume of a solid generated by revolving R about the line y = k. State and explain additional assumptions, if any, that you need about f for your formula.
