3 Integrals and Volume


Disk Method
We have already seen that integrals can
be used to find areas.
It can also be used to find the volume of
3D shapes
On type of solid is that formed by rotating
or revolving a region in a plane about a
line called a solid of revolution
We will use the disk method to find the
volume of such a solid
Disk Method
Suppose the region formed by y = 3 from
x = 1 to x = 3 is revolved about the x-axis.
The region formed is a disk.

What if the function is not
constant?
The idea is to partition the interval into
rectangles and revolve the rectangles
