Capitolo 6, Problema 6.3.48
For the following regions R, determine which is greater—the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the x-axis or about the y-axis.
R is bounded by y=x^2 and y=√8x.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
First, identify the region R bounded by the curves \(y = x^2\) and \(y = \sqrt{8x}\). To do this, find the points of intersection by setting \(x^2 = \sqrt{8x}\).
Solve the equation \(x^2 = \sqrt{8x}\) by squaring both sides to eliminate the square root, resulting in \(x^4 = 8x\). Then, rearrange to \(x^4 - 8x = 0\) and factor to find the intersection points.
Determine the limits of integration (the x-values where the curves intersect) to define the interval over which the region R lies.
Calculate the volume of the solid generated by revolving R about the x-axis using the disk/washer method. The volume is given by \(V_x = \pi \int_{a}^{b} \left( (\text{outer radius})^2 - (\text{inner radius})^2 \right) \, dx\), where the radii are the distances from the x-axis to the curves.
Calculate the volume of the solid generated by revolving R about the y-axis using the shell method. The volume is given by \(V_y = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} (\text{radius})(\text{height}) \, dx\), where the radius is the distance from the y-axis and the height is the vertical distance between the curves.

Finding the Region of Integration
To analyze the volume generated by revolving a region, first identify the area bounded by the given curves. Here, the region R is enclosed by y = x² and y = √(8x). Finding their points of intersection determines the limits of integration, which is essential for setting up volume integrals.

Volume of Solids of Revolution Using the Disk/Washer Method
The disk/washer method calculates volume by integrating cross-sectional areas perpendicular to the axis of revolution. When revolving around the x-axis, slices are horizontal, and when revolving around the y-axis, slices are vertical. Setting up the correct integral expressions depends on the axis chosen.

Comparing Volumes Generated by Different Axes of Revolution
Volumes generated by revolving the same region about different axes can differ significantly. Understanding how the shape and orientation of the region relative to the axis affect the radius and height of disks or washers helps compare which volume is larger without necessarily computing exact values.
