Set up the integral that uses the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume v of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. 64y = x3, y = 0, x = 8 about the line y = 8

Respuesta :

Given curves:

[tex]64y=x^3, y=0, x=8[/tex]

The region is rotated about the line [tex]y=8[/tex]

Shell method formula : [tex]\int\limits^b_a {2\pi rh } \, dy[/tex]

Since the region is rotated about the line y= 8, we solve the given curve for x.

Take cube root on both sides.


The radius of the given region is [tex]y-8[/tex] and the height is [tex]x=4\sqrt[3]{y}[/tex].

The integral to find the volume is :  [tex]\int_{8}^{16}2\pi (y-8)(4\sqrt[3]{y})dy[/tex]
