the region bounded by the curve y=e^x and the lines x=1 and y=1 is rotated about the x-axis. find the exact volume of the solid formed
use cyclindrical shellsthe region bounded by the curve y=e^x and the lines x=1 and y=1 is rotated about the x-axis. find the exact volume of the solid formed
sorry this method is better than mine. i got so used to using cylindrical shells i forgot the other methodThis question requires a 3 step process.
1. the line y=1 intersects y=e^x at x=0
and y^2=e^(2x)
2. The cylinder made by the volume of x=1 and y=1 is (pi) because the cylinder has radius of 1, and "height" of 1.
3. Hence, the volume is = Integrate [1,0] pi*e^(2x)dx - pi
=pi(0.5e^2-0.5)-pi
=pi0.5e^2-1.5pi cubic units.
Sorry for the lack of symbols (my computer cant input complex mathematical symbols...)
I hope that helped
