Question

Use the Shell method to find the given volume of rotation. A sphere of radius r

Expert Solution
Step 1

We take an upper half of a circle of radius r and then rotate it about the x-axis.

Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Equation of the circle is:

Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 2

So upper half of it is:

This cuts the x-axis at -r and r

It is rotating about the x-axis.

 

 

Step 2

We will make two parts of the upper part. One part is from x=-r to x=0 and the other part is x=0 to x=r

Both parts are of same size. 

So we find the volume for rotation of the part from x=0 to x=r about the x-axis. then to find the total volume for x=-r to x=r we multiply the volume by 2.

Step 3

The radius of the region = y

And height = x
