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

For a region bounded by (slant line), (along the vertical axis), and (horizontal line) revolved about the line , we may apply the Washer Method. It considers multiple disc with a hole. Basically, it can be just two disc method in which we take the difference of the volume of the bigger and smaller disc.


It follows the formula:


Let  as a function of ...

For a region bounded by (slant line), (along the vertical axis), and (horizontal line) revolved about the line , we may apply the Washer Method. It considers multiple disc with a hole. Basically, it can be just two disc method in which we take the difference of the volume of the bigger and smaller disc.


It follows the formula:


Let  as a function of and as function of .


Then  or  .


 We use a rectangular strip representation that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation as shown on the attached image. 


For the inner radius, we have:



For the outer radius, we have:


The boundary values of will be   to .


 The integral to approximate the volume of the solid is:



Expand using FOIL method on and .


The integral becomes:



Simplify:


Apply basic integration property:



Apply basic integration property: and Power rule for integration:




Apply definite integration formula:




or (approximated value)

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) ...
