around the x-axis.
| Foundations |
|---|
| • Choose either shell or washer method. |
| • Find the appropriate radii. |
| • Determine the bounds of integration by finding when both functions have the same y value. |
| • Using the determined values, set up and solve the integral. |
Solution:
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Choosing the Approach: Since we are rotating around the x-axis, the washer method would utilize tall rectangles with dx as their width. This seems like a reasonable choice, as these rectangles would be trapped between our two functions as x varies over the enclosed region, allowing us to solve a single integral. Note that the washer method will require an inner and outer radius, as well as bounds of integration, in order to solve evaluate the integral |

| Step 2: |
|---|
| Finding the Radii: Since our rectangles will be trapped between the two functions, and will be rotated around the x-axis (where y = 0), we find |
| the inner radius is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r = 5-x } , represented by the blue line, while |
| the outer radius is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle R = 25-x^2 } , represented by the red line. |
| Step 3: |
|---|
| Finding the Bounds of Integration: We must set the two functions equal, and solve. If |

| then by moving all terms to the left hand side and factoring, |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x^2-x-20=(x+4)(x-5)=0,} |
| so we have -4 and 5 as solutions. These are our bounds of integration. |
| Step 4: |
|---|
| Evaluating the Integral: Using the earlier steps, we have |
