Finding Volume of Solid Revolved Around x=3, y=5

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the volume of a solid of revolution formed by the function F(x) = 2x + 3 over the interval [0, 1], specifically when revolved around the lines x = 3 and y = 5. Participants are exploring methods to calculate this volume using both the shell and disk methods.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of the shell method and the disk method for calculating the volume, with some expressing a preference for one method over the other. There are attempts to set up integrals for both methods, and questions arise regarding the interpretation of the problem, particularly whether it involves two separate revolutions.

Discussion Status

There is ongoing exploration of different methods, with participants providing their attempts at solutions and referencing an answer key. Some participants are questioning the setup of the problem and the definitions involved, indicating a lack of consensus on how to proceed.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note that the original function does not clearly define a bounded region, prompting questions about the intended setup for the volume calculation. There are also mentions of formatting issues with the integrals presented.

Homework Statement


Find the volume of the solid of revolution:
F(x)=2x+3 on [0,1]
Revolved over the line x=3 and y=5

Homework Equations


Shell Method: 2\pi\int^{b}_{a}x[f(x)-g(x)]dx
obviously just sub y for dy
Disk Method: /pi/int^{b}_{a}[F(x)^{2}-G(x)^{2}dx

the first number in the integral is the upper bound and the second is the lower... I just can't get it to be formatted the right way for some reason.

EDIT: sry about the repeat... said database error so I thought it didn't go through.

EDIT: OMG there's 2 double posts... srry

Homework Statement


Find the volume of the solid of revolution:
F(x)=2x+3 on [0,1]
Revolved over the line x=3 and y=5
Is this two separate problems? It doesn't appear to be from your work but what do you mean by "revolved over" two separate lines? In any case, "F(x)= 2x+3 on [0,1]" doesn't define a region. Do you mean the region bounded by y=2x+ 3, y= 0, x= 0, and x= 1?

Homework Equations


Shell Method: 2\pi\int^{b}_{a}x[f(x)-g(x)]dx
obviously just sub y for dy
Disk Method: \pi\int^{b}_{a}[F(x)^{2}-G(x)^{2}dx


The Attempt at a Solution


line x=3: 2\pi\int(3-x)(2x+3)dx =115.19

answer key is unfortunately in disk method which I don't like as much:
\pi\int^{3}_{0}(9-4)dy + \pi\int^{5}_{3}(3-((y-3)/2))^{2}-4dy

=78.91


line y=5: 2\pi\int^{5}_{0}(5-y)(1-((y-3)/2)) =130.8996

answer key/ disk method: \pi\int^{1}_{0}(25-(5-(2x+3))^{2}dx

=77.206
