Select the best method to find the volume of a solid of revolution generated by revolving the given region around the x -axis , and set up the integral to find the volume (do not evaluate the integral): the region bounded by the graphs of y = 2 x 2 and y = x 2 .

Use the method of washers; V = −1 1 π [ ( 2 x 2 ) 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ] d x

Key concepts

  • The method of cylindrical shells is another method for using a definite integral to calculate the volume of a solid of revolution. This method is sometimes preferable to either the method of disks or the method of washers because we integrate with respect to the other variable. In some cases, one integral is substantially more complicated than the other.
  • The geometry of the functions and the difficulty of the integration are the main factors in deciding which integration method to use.

Key equations

  • Method of Cylindrical Shells
    V = a b ( 2 π x f ( x ) ) d x

For the following exercise, find the volume generated when the region between the two curves is rotated around the given axis. Use both the shell method and the washer method. Use technology to graph the functions and draw a typical slice by hand.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

child interact with other kids under doc supervision. play therapy. speech therapy. Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game. string and beads game. the more you interact with the child the more effective

results you'll get.. please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child. and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid. but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
