Set up and evaluate the integral that gives the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region about the x-axis.

For the region bounded by revolve about the x-axis, we can also apply the Shell Method using a horizontal rectangular strip parallel to the axis of revolution (x-axis).We may follow the formula for Shell Method as:


* 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...

For the region bounded by revolve about the x-axis, we can also apply the Shell Method using a horizontal rectangular strip parallel to the axis of revolution (x-axis).We may follow the formula for Shell Method as:


* 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,  the rectangular strip has:



or



Note:  can be rearrange into .


Thickness


Boundary values of y: to .


Plug-in the values on to the formula  * radius*height*thickness, we get:



Apply basic integration property: .



Simplify: 



Apply basic integration property: to be able to integrate them separately using Power rule for integration:   .




Apply definite integration formula: .






 or


 We will get the same result whether we use Disk Method or Shell Method for the given bounded region revolve about the x-axis on this problem.
