Question

use the shell method to find the volumes of the
solids generated by revolving the regions bounded by the given curves
about the given lines y = x4, y = 4 - 3x2 The x-axis

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The curves  y =  x 4 and y = 4 – 3 x 2 .

 

To find:

The volume generated by revolving the regions bounded by the given curves about x – axis and the strip is parallel to         y - axis.

Step 2

Formula Used:

Disk / Washer method:

 The volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the curves y = f (x) and y = g(x) between x = a and       x = b about x - axis is given by

Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 1

In this method, the axis of rotation is about x - axis, hence the axis of rotation is vertical to x axis.
