Use the shell method to write and evaluate the definite integral that represents the volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region about the y-axis.
y = 3 − x


Sagot :

The volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region y=3−x about the y-axis is 9π cubic units.

What is integration?

It is defined as the mathematical calculation by which we can sum up all the smaller parts into a unit.

We have a function:

y = 3 - x

From the graph:

Shell radius = y

Height = 3 - y

From the shell method, we can write the integral as follows:

[tex]\rm Volume =2\pi\int\limits^0_{-3} {y(3-y)} \, dy[/tex]

[tex]\rm Volume =2\pi\int\limits^0_{-3} {(3y-y^2)} \, dy[/tex]

After solving the above definite integral, we will get volume:

Volume = 9π cubic units

Thus, the volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region y=3−x about the y-axis is 9π cubic units.
