Use the disk method to find the volume of the solid obtained
Use the disk method to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the x-axis the region bounded by y=x+3, y=0, x=1 and x=4
Solution
consider a disc at a distance x
volume = *(x+3)2 dx
integrate from x=1 to x=4
: /3 * (x+3)3 from x=1 to x=4
: /3 * [ 73 - 43 ]
: /3 * [ 343 - 64 ]
: /3 [ 279 ]
: 93 cubic untis !!!!
