Find volume of solid rotated about X axis Washer method
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
y=x^2+1 X in (0,1) 2. Relevant equations formula needed integral (PI [f(x)]^2 DX in the F(x) just plug in the equation right? 3. The attempt at a solution took anti deritive of the original problem and came out with PI[1/3x^3+X]^2 my answer is 5.58 am i on the right track? im confused on the squared part. Do i take the Anti deritive of the squared or only the thing inside the brackets? |

Right, you plug f(x) into the formula, but that ^2 means you square f(x), so [f(x)]^2 = (x^2 + 1)^2. That's what you actually want to integrate.

is it 1/3(x^2+1)^3*(1/3x^3+X)^2? im going blank lol should there be a ^2 at the end of that? |

That wouldn't be the way to integrate it
![]() Easiest way would probably be to multiply it out, (x2+1)2 = (x2+1)(x2+1) = ... then integrate each term. |
