The region bounded by and
revolved about the x-axis is shown on the attached image.We may apply the Disk method using a rectangular strip perpendicular to the axis of revolution. As shown on the attached image, the thickness of the rectangular strip is "dx" with a vertical orientation perpendicular to the x-axis (axis of revolution).
We follow the formula for the Disk method: where disk's base area is
with
.
Note: r = length of the rectangular strip. We may apply .
Then .
The boundary values of x are to
.
Plug-in the and the boundary values to integral formula, we get:
Simplify:
Apply basic integration property:
Apply basic integration property: .
Apply Power rule for integration: .
Apply definite integration formula: .
or
(approximated value)
