Q. 30

Question

Consider the region between f(x)=xand the x-axis on [0,4]. For each line of rotation given in Exercises 27–30, use four disks or washers based on the given rectangles to approximate the volume of the resulting solid.

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The required volume is  58316π

1Step 1. Given Information

The given figure is      

2Step 2. Calculation

To determine, the volume of solid of revolution rotated around vertical lines express the curve as inverse function.

f(x)=xy=xy2=xx=y2g(y)=y2

For the x-interval of [0,4], the corresponding interval of y-variable will be [0,2]

The width of each washer is determined as, 

y=b-an=2-04=12

The external radius is 5-g(yk) and inner radius is given as 1.

The starting value of disk is 0. It can be termed as y0.

Determine these end points as follows,

yk=y0+ky=0+k12=k2

3Step 3. Calculation

Total volume of solid is determined as follows,  

V=πk=1nRy2-r(y)2y=πk=1n5-gyk2-1212=π2k=1n5-yk22-12=π2k=145-k242-1=π25-1242-1+5-2242-1+5-3242-1+5-4242-1=π234516+30816+27316+15=58316π
