In some countries, there are very wide income gaps between the rich and the poor. Yes, I know. How can we give a quantitative measure of the inequality of income distribution? Case Study To measure the inequality of income distribution in a society, we can make use of the Gini coefficient. The ‘Lorenz Curve’ is sketched such that any point (x, y) on the curve indicates that the poorest x% families share y% of the total income of all the families in the society. If the Gini coefficient is close to 1, then there is a very wide income gap between the rich and the poor; if it is close to 0, then the income is uniformly distributed among the families.

In this case, gives the area of the region bounded by the curve yf (x), the x-axis, the lines xa and x b. 10.1 Finding Plane Areas by Integration A. Area of the Region Bounded by a Curve and the x-axis In Chapter 9, we learnt that the definite integral of f (x) from a to b is defined as follows: As shown in the figure, if f (x) ³ 0 for a£x£b, then f (zi)Dx stands for the area of a very thin rectangle drawn under the curve yf (x).

Area of the Region Bounded by a Curve and the x-axis On the other hand, if f (x) £ 0 for a £x£b as shown in the figure, then f (zi)x is equal to the negative of the area of the thin rectangle. If f (x) takes both positive and negative values in the interval a£x£b, we can divide the shaded region into two parts: one part for f (x) ³ 0 and the other for f (x) £ 0.

If the first rectangle from the left is revolved about the x-axis to form a disc, the volume of the disc is If n is getting larger indefinitely, the width Dx tends to zero. Then the sum of the volumes of the discs will approach the actual volume of the solid of revolution. This method of finding the volume of the solid of revolution by integration is called the disc method.

10.2Volumes of Solids of Revolution C. Solids of Revolution Revolved about Lines Parallel to the Coordinate Axes Sometimes, the solid of revolution may be formed by revolving about a line parallel to the x-axis or the y-axis. In this case, we need to modify the formulas obtained in Sections 10.2 A and B in order to find the volume of the solid of revolution. For example, as shown in the figure, the region bounded by the curve y = f (x) and the line y = h (where h > 0) in the interval a£x£ b is revolved about the line y = h to form the solid of revolution. If we translate the curve y = f (x) and the line y = h downwards by h units, then we can see that it is just the same as revolving the curvey = f (x) –h about the x-axis ! Thus, we can conclude that, the volume V of the solid of revolution is given by

10.2Volumes of Solids of Revolution D. Shell Method In the disc method mentioned previously, the volumes of solids of revolution are found by approximating with circular discs. But in some situations, it may be easier to use the shell method, in which thin cylindrical shells are used to approximate the volume of the solid of revolution. For example, consider the region bounded by the curve y = f (x), the x-axis, the lines x = a and x = b as shown in the figure, where f (x) ³ 0 and 0 £a£b. A hollow solid is obtained when the region is revolved about the y-axis.
10.2Volumes of Solids of Revolution D. Shell Method Now, if we approximate the region by a number of vertical rectangles and all these rectangles are revolved about the y-axis, each of them will generate a thin cylindrical shell of thickness Dx, height f (x) and radius x as shown in the figure. If Dx is very small, the volume of such a shell is approximately equal to the volume of a thin rectangular sheet of thicknessDx, height f (x) and length equal to the base circumference of the shell, that is, 2px. Hence the volume of a shell is approximately equal to 2pxf (x)Dx and thus the total volume of the solid is
10.2Volumes of Solids of Revolution D. Shell Method Similarly, if the region bounded by the function x = g(y), the lines y = c and y = d is revolved about the x-axis, then Note: 1. In the above discussion, f (x) and g(y) are assumed to be non-negative within the interval of integration. If not, the formulas should be modified as • In the shell method, when the region is revolved about the y-axis, the volume is integrated along x; when it is revolved about the • x-axis, the volume is integrated along y. It is opposite to the formulas we learnt in the disc method. Students should pay attention to this.
