Review of Area: Measuring a length. Vertical Cut: Horizontal Cut:
Disk Method Slices are perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Radius is a function of position on that axis. Therefore rotating about x axis gives an integral in x; rotating about y gives an integral in y.
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region defined by , y = 8, and x = 0 about the y-axis. Bounds? [0,8] Length? Area? Volume?
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region defined by , and y = 1, about the line y = 1 Bounds? [-1,1] Length? Area? Volume?
What if there is a “gap” between the axis of rotation and the function?
Solids of Revolution: We determined that a cut perpendicular to the axis of rotation will either form a disk (region touches axis of rotation (AOR)) or a washer (there is a gap between the region and the AOR) Revolved around the line y = 1, the region forms a disk However when revolved around the x-axis, there is a “gap” between the region and the x-axis. (when we draw the radius, the radius intersects the region twice.)
Area of a Washer Note: Both R and r are measured from the axis of rotation.

Note in the disk/washer methods, the focus in on the radius (perpendicular to the axis of rotation) and the shape it forms. We can also look at a slice that is parallel to the axis of rotation.
