    The document discusses techniques for calculating volumes of solids using slicing or disks/washers methods. Specifically, it covers: 1) Using slicing to approximate volumes by dividing a solid into infinitely many thin cross-sectional slices and adding their volumes. 2) Computing volumes of solids of revolution about the x-axis by treating each slice as a disk/washer and using the disk/washer formula. 3) Worked examples demonstrate revolving the area under a curve from 0 to 4 about the x-axis and computing the volume using a Riemann sum that approaches a definite integral.

    •Volumes by slicing can be found by adding up each
    slice of the solid as the thickness of the slices gets
    smaller and smaller, in other words
    the number of slices goes to infinity.

    •To find the volume of each slice of the pyramid you


    would find the area of each square then multiply the
    area by the thickness of the slice. The thickness would
    be dx because we are slicing with respect to the x-axis.
    Next you would add the volumes of each slice together
    to find the total volume.
    •This would be a Riemann sum with the limit as n the
    number of slices going to infinity.
    • Remember the from Ch 5.5
    n b
    A lim  f ( x )x   f ( x)dx
    *
    k k
    max x 0 k 1 a

    • Only now instead of f(x*) we will be summing the


    areas of the base of each slice. So change
    f(x*)in the Riemann Sum to A(x*)which
    represents the area of the base.

    Here is an example using a
    cylinder

    Find the volume of the cylinder


    using the formula and slicing
    with respect to the x-axis.

    2  4 (6)  4 (2)  24  8  16
    • Now use the formula you learned in
    Geometry to find the area
    • V= r2 h=(22)(4) = 16 

    You can also work problems like


    these with respect to the y-axis.

    disks

    • Now use the formula below to find the
    volume of the 3-D figure formed by
    rotating around the x-axis.
    • http://www.plu.edu/~heathdj/java/calc2/Solid.html
    • This method is called disks when revolved
    around the x-axis ( note: it is sliced with
    respect to the x-axis and is revolved
    around the x-axis)
    • Formula for finding the volume of the solid
    formed when f(x) is revolved around the x-
    axis
    • Each slice is a circle, the formula for the
    area of a circle is A= r2. The radius is the y-
    value of the function AKA f(x). So, the area
    formula becomes A= (f(x))2
