`y = -x + 1` 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 `y=-x+1` 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:


`V = int_a^b 2pi` * 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` dx` or` dy`...

For the region bounded by `y=-x+1` 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:


`V = int_a^b 2pi` * 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` dx` or` dy` .


As shown on the attached file,  the rectangular strip has:


`r=y`


`h =f(y) ` or `h = x_2-x_1`


`h = (1-y) -0 = 1-y`


Note: `y =-x+1` can be rearrange into `x=1-y` .


Thickness `= dy`


Boundary values of y: `a=0` to `b =1` .


Plug-in the values on to the formula `V = int_a^b 2pi` * radius*height*thickness, we get:


`V = int_0^1 2pi* y*(1-y)*dy`


Apply basic integration property: `intc*f(x) dx = c int f(x) dx` .


`V = 2pi int_0^1 y*(1-y)*dy`


Simplify: `V = 2pi int_0^1 (y-y^2)dy`



Apply basic integration property:`int (u-v)dy = int (u)dy-int (v)dy` to be able to integrate them separately using Power rule for integration:  `int y^n dy = y^(n+1)/(n+1)` .


`V = 2pi *[ int_0^1 (y) dy -int_0^1 (y^2)dy]`


`V = 2pi *[y^2/2 -y^3/3]|_0^1`


Apply definite integration formula: `int_a^b f(y) dy= F(b)-F(a) ` .


`V = 2pi *[(1)^2/2 -(1)^3/3] -2pi *[(0)^2/2 -(0)^3/3]`


`V = 2pi *[1/2 -1/3] -2pi *[0-0]`


`V = 2pi *[1/6] -2pi *[0]`


`V = (2pi )/6 -0`


`V = (2pi )/6`  or `pi/3`


 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.
