  1. Volume: The Shell Method Lesson 7.3

  2. Find the volume generated when this shape is revolved about the y axis. We can’t solve for x, so we can’t use a horizontal slice directly.

  3. If we take a vertical slice and revolve it about the y-axis we get a cylinder.

  4. Shell Method • Based on finding volume of cylindrical shells • Add these volumes to get the total volume • Dimensions of the shell • Radius of the shell • Thickness of the shell • Height

  5. The Shell • Consider the shell as one of many of a solid of revolution • The volume of the solid made of the sum of the shells dx f(x) f(x) – g(x) x g(x)

  6. Try It Out! • Consider the region bounded by x = 0, y = 0, and

  7. Hints for Shell Method • Sketch the graph over the limits of integration • Draw a typical shell parallel to the axis of revolution • Determine radius, height, thickness of shell • Volume of typical shell • Use integration formula

  8. Rotation About x-Axis • Rotate the region bounded by y = 4x and y = x2 about the x-axis • What are the dimensions needed? • radius • height • thickness thickness = dy radius = y

  9. Rotation About Non-coordinate Axis • Possible to rotate a region around any line • Rely on the basic concept behind the shell method g(x) f(x) x = a

  10. Rotation About Non-coordinate Axis • What is the radius? • What is the height? • What are the limits? • The integral: r g(x) f(x) a – x x = c x = a f(x) – g(x) c < x < a

  11. r = 2 - x 4 – x2 Try It Out • Rotate the region bounded by 4 – x2 , x = 0 and, y = 0 about the line x = 2 • Determine radius, height, limits

  12. Try It Out • Integral for the volume is
