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.

First, identify the region R bounded by the curve \(y = \sqrt{50 - 2x^2}\) in the first quadrant. Since we are in the first quadrant, both \(x\) and \(y\) are non-negative, so \(x \geq 0\) and \(y \geq 0\).
Since the solid is generated by revolving the region about the x-axis, and we are asked to use the shell method, recall that the shell method involves integrating cylindrical shells formed by slicing the region parallel to the axis of revolution. Here, the axis of revolution is horizontal (x-axis), so we will integrate with respect to \(y\).
Express \(x\) in terms of \(y\) from the given curve: starting with \(y = \sqrt{50 - 2x^2}\), square both sides to get \(y^2 = 50 - 2x^2\), then solve for \(x^2\) to find \(x^2 = \frac{50 - y^2}{2}\), and finally \(x = \sqrt{\frac{50 - y^2}{2}}\).
Set up the shell radius and height for the shell method. The radius of a shell is the distance from the shell to the axis of revolution (x-axis), which is simply \(y\). The height of the shell is the horizontal length of the region at that \(y\) value, which is \(x = \sqrt{\frac{50 - y^2}{2}}\).
Write the volume integral using the shell method formula: \(V = \int_{y=0}^{y=\sqrt{50}} 2\pi \times (\text{radius}) \times (\text{height}) \, dy = \int_0^{\sqrt{50}} 2\pi y \cdot \sqrt{\frac{50 - y^2}{2}} \, dy\). This integral represents the volume of the solid.

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 the axis of rotation is parallel to the axis of the variable of integration.

Region Bounded by Curves

Understanding the region bounded by the given curves is essential to set correct integration limits. Here, the curve y = √(50 - 2x²) in the first quadrant defines the boundary, meaning x and y are non-negative, which restricts the domain for integration.

Revolution About the x-axis

Revolving a region about the x-axis means the solid is generated by rotating the area around the horizontal axis. This affects the radius and height expressions in the shell method, as shells are formed perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
