9-34. Shell method Let R be the region bounded by the following curves. Use the shell method to find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about indicated axis.
y = 1−x²,x = 0, and y = 0, in the first quadrant; about the y-axis

Identify the region R bounded by the curves: \(y = 1 - x^2\), \(x = 0\), and \(y = 0\) in the first quadrant. This means \(x \geq 0\) and \(0 \leq y \leq 1 - x^2\).
Since the solid is generated by revolving the region about the y-axis, use the shell method. The shell method formula for volume is: \(V = \int_a^b 2\pi (\text{radius})(\text{height}) \, dx\) where the shells are vertical slices parallel to the axis of revolution.
Determine the radius and height of a typical shell. Here, the radius is the distance from the y-axis to the shell, which is \(x\). The height is the value of \(y\) on the curve, which is \(1 - x^2\).
Set up the integral limits for \(x\). Since the region is in the first quadrant and bounded by \(x=0\) and \(y=0\), find the \(x\)-values where \(y=0\): \(1 - x^2 = 0\) implies \(x = 1\). So the limits are from \(0\) to \(1\).
Write the integral for the volume using the shell method: \(V = \int_0^1 2\pi x (1 - x^2) \, dx\). This integral represents the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region about the y-axis.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Shell Method for Volume

The shell method calculates the volume of a solid of revolution by integrating cylindrical shells. Each shell's volume is approximated by its circumference times height times thickness. This method is especially useful when revolving around vertical or horizontal axes where slicing perpendicular to the axis is complex.

Region Bounded by Curves

Understanding the region bounded by y = 1 - x², x = 0, and y = 0 in the first quadrant is essential. This region lies between the parabola, the y-axis, and the x-axis, defining the limits of integration. Identifying these boundaries helps set up the integral correctly for volume calculation.

Revolution About the y-axis

Revolving the region about the y-axis means the shells are vertical, with radius equal to the x-value and height given by the function y = 1 - x². Recognizing the axis of revolution determines the radius and height expressions in the shell method integral.
