Volumes
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the parabola y² = 4x and the line y = x about
b. the y-axis

검증된 단계별 안내

First, identify the region bounded by the curves. The parabola is given by \(y^{2} = 4x\), which can be rewritten as \(x = \frac{y^{2}}{4}\). The line is \(y = x\), or equivalently \(x = y\). Find the points of intersection by setting \(\frac{y^{2}}{4} = y\).
Solve the equation \(\frac{y^{2}}{4} = y\) to find the intersection points. Multiply both sides by 4 to get \(y^{2} = 4y\), then rearrange to \(y^{2} - 4y = 0\), and factor as \(y(y - 4) = 0\). So, \(y = 0\) or \(y = 4\) are the limits of integration.
Since the solid is generated by revolving the region about the y-axis, use the method of cylindrical shells. The formula for the volume is \(V = \int_{a}^{b} 2\pi (\text{radius})(\text{height}) \, dy\), where the radius is the distance from the y-axis and the height is the horizontal distance between the curves.
Determine the radius and height for the shell at a given \(y\). The radius is the distance from the y-axis, which is \(x\). The height is the difference between the rightmost and leftmost \(x\) values for the region at that \(y\). Here, the right boundary is \(x = y\) (from the line) and the left boundary is \(x = \frac{y^{2}}{4}\) (from the parabola). So, height = \(y - \frac{y^{2}}{4}\).
Set up the integral for the volume: \(V = \int_{0}^{4} 2\pi y \left(y - \frac{y^{2}}{4}\right) dy\). This integral represents the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region about the y-axis.

Method of Cylindrical Shells for Volume

When revolving a region around the y-axis, the cylindrical shells method is often used. This involves integrating the volume of thin cylindrical shells with radius equal to the x-value, height given by the difference in y-values, and thickness dx. This method simplifies volume calculation when the axis of revolution is vertical.

Setting Up and Evaluating Definite Integrals

After determining the method and limits, set up the definite integral representing the volume. This requires expressing variables appropriately, integrating with respect to x or y, and carefully evaluating the integral to find the exact volume. Mastery of integral calculus techniques is crucial for accurate computation.
