89. Consider the infinite region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of
y = 1 / x², y = 0, and x = 1.
b. Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region (i) about the x-axis.

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the region to be revolved: it is bounded by the curve \(y = \frac{1}{x^2}\), the x-axis (\(y=0\)), and the vertical line \(x=1\), in the first quadrant. Since the region is in the first quadrant, \(x\) ranges from 1 to infinity.
Set up the volume integral using the disk method because the region is revolved around the x-axis. The radius of each disk is the distance from the x-axis to the curve, which is \(r(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}\).
Write the volume integral as \(V = \pi \int_{1}^{\infty} \left(r(x)\right)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_{1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2 \, dx\).
Simplify the integrand: \(\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{x^4}\), so the integral becomes \(V = \pi \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^4} \, dx\).
Evaluate the improper integral by finding the antiderivative of \(x^{-4}\), then take the limit as the upper bound approaches infinity to determine the volume.

Definite Integrals for Area and Volume

Definite integrals calculate the accumulation of quantities, such as area under a curve or volume of solids. In volume problems, integrals sum infinitesimal cross-sectional areas along an axis to find total volume. Setting correct limits and integrand expressions is essential.

Method of Disks/Washers for Volumes of Revolution

The disk/washer method finds volumes by slicing the solid perpendicular to the axis of revolution. Each slice forms a disk or washer whose area is integrated along the axis. For revolution about the x-axis, the radius is the function value, and volume is π∫[radius]^2 dx.

Understanding the Region and Boundaries

Identifying the region bounded by y = 1/x², y = 0, and x = 1 in the first quadrant is crucial. This defines the limits of integration and the shape being revolved. Recognizing that the region extends from x=1 to infinity helps set proper integral bounds for volume calculation.
