For the region bounded by ,
,
and
and revolved about the line
, we may also apply the Shell method. we are to use two sets of vertical rectangular strips parallel to the line x=5 (axis of revolution). In this case, we need two sets of rectangular strip since the upper bound of the rectangular strip before and after x=4 differs.
We follow the formula: * radius*height*thickness
where:
radius (r)= distance of the rectangular strip to the axis of revolution
height (h) = length of the rectangular strip
thickness = width of the rectangular strip as or
.
As shown on the attached file, both rectangular strip has:
thickness
For the rectangular strip representing the bounded region from x=0 to x=4, we may let:
For the rectangular strip representing the bounded region from to
, we may let:
Plug-in the values correspondingly, we get:
or
For the first integral, we solve it as:
For the second integral, we solve it as:
Combing the two results, we get:
or
( approximated value).
We will get the same result whether we use Disk Method or Shell Method for the given bounded region on this problem.
