Calculus 2: Volumes of Solids of Revolution

Use the shell method to determine the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region about the y axis.

y=x2+2y = x^2 + 2

y=0y = 0, x=0x = 0, x=2x = 2

Use the shell method to determine the volume formed by the bounded region rotated about the x-axis.

y=x2y = x^2, y=0y = 0, x=2x = 2

Determine the volume of the solid generated by rotating the function about the x-axis on [0,3][0,3]

y=9x2y = \sqrt{9 - x^2}

Determine the volume of the solid generated by rotating the function about the y-axis on [0,4][0,4]

y=xy = \sqrt{x}
