Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the...

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.

How are race, gender, and class addressed in Oliver Optic's Rich and Humble?

While class does play a role in Rich and Humble , race and class aren't addressed by William Taylor Adams (Oliver Opic's real name) ...
