MHB Volume of Solid of Revolution; Simpson's Rule

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of a solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the curve y=sqrt(x) and the lines y=1 and x=4 around the line y=1. Participants inquire about visualizing the region and the rotation process to better understand the solid's shape. Additionally, the conversation shifts to approximating the integral from 0 to 1 of 1/(1-x)^2 using Simpson's Rule with n=4. Questions arise regarding the setup and application of Simpson's Rule for this integral. The thread highlights the importance of both visualization and numerical methods in solving these calculus problems.

1.find tthe volume solid generated by revolving the region bounded y=sqrt x and the ;lines y=1, x=4 about the line y=1

2. using simpson rule witj n=4 to aproximate int from 0 to 1 1 over 1-x power 2 dx

1. Can you draw a picture of the region? Can you visualize how the region is being rotated?

2. So you're approximating $\displaystyle \int_0^1 \frac{dx}{(1-x)^2}?$ Is that correct? If so, how do you set up a Simpson's Rule?
