For the region bounded by and
revolved about the x-axis, we may apply Washer method for the integral application for the volume of a solid.
As shown on the attached image, we are using vertical rectangular strip that is perpendicular to the x-axis (axis of revolution) with a thickness of . In line with this, we will consider the formula for the Washer Method as:
where as function of the outer radius,
as a function of the inner radius,
For each radius, we follow the , we have
since it a distance between the axis of rotation and each boundary graph.
For the inner radius, we have:
For the outer radius, we have:
To determine the boundary values of x, we equate the two values of y's:
then
or
and
Then, boundary values of x: and
.
Plug-in the values in the formula , we get:
.
Expand using the FOIL method on: and
.
The integral becomes:
Apply basic integration property: to be able to integrate them separately using Power rule for integration:
.
Apply the definite integral formula: .
or
(approximated value)
