Shell Method (Vertical Axis)
V = 2π∫[a,b] r(x)h(x)dx
Height: h(x) = 4sin(7x2)
Radius: r(x) = x
Bounds: [a,b] = [0,√(π/7)]
Set up integral and evaluate
V = 2π∫[0,√(π/7)] x(4sin(7x2))dx
V = 8π∫[0,√(π/7)] xsin(7x2))dx
Let u=7x2 and du=14xdx so that du/14 = xdx
Bounds become u=7(0)2=0 to u=7(√(π/7))2=π:
V = 8π(1/14)∫[0,π] sin(u)du
V = (4π/7)∫[0,π] sin(u)du
V = (4π/7)[-cos(u)] [0,π]
V = (4π/7)[-cos(π)] - (4π/7)[-cos(0)]
V = 4π/7 + 4π/7
V = 8π/7
Therefore, the volume of the solid obtained is 8π/7 cubic units.
Hope this helped!
