Textbook Question

Let R be the region bounded by the following curves. Find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the given line.

x=2−secy,x=2,y=π/3, and y=0; about x=2

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Identify the region R bounded by the given curves. The region is enclosed by x = 2 - sec(y), x = 2, y = π/3, and y = 0. Visualize the region by sketching the curves in the xy-plane.

Step 2: Recognize that the solid is generated by revolving the region R about the line x = 2. Use the method of cylindrical shells or the washer method to set up the integral for the volume.

Step 3: For the washer method, calculate the outer radius and inner radius of the washers. The outer radius is the distance from x = 2 to x = 2, which is 0. The inner radius is the distance from x = 2 to x = 2 - sec(y), which is sec(y).

Step 4: Write the volume integral using the washer method. The volume is given by:

\int_{y = 0}^{y = \frac{π}{3}} π * (\sec^{2}) * d y

Step 5: Evaluate the integral to find the volume. Simplify the integrand and compute the definite integral over the interval y = 0 to y = π/3. This will yield the final volume of the solid.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Volume of Revolution

The volume of revolution refers to the volume of a solid formed by rotating a two-dimensional area around a specified axis. This is typically calculated using methods such as the disk method or the washer method, which involve integrating the area of circular cross-sections perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Integration

Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus that involves finding the accumulated area under a curve. In the context of volume of revolution, integration is used to sum up the infinitesimally small volumes of the disks or washers formed by the rotation of the region around the axis, leading to the total volume of the solid.

Bounded Region

A bounded region in calculus is a specific area enclosed by curves or lines on a graph. In this problem, the region R is defined by the curves x=2−secy, x=2, y=π/3, and y=0, which sets the limits for integration when calculating the volume of the solid formed by revolving this region around the line x=2.
