`y = x^3 , x = 0 , y = 8` Use the shell method to set up and evaluate the integral that gives the volume of the solid generated by revolving...

We can use a shell method when a bounded region represented by rectangular strip is parallel to the axis of revolution. It forms of infinite number of thin hollow pipes or “representative cylinders”.


 In this method, we follow the formula: `V = int_a^b ` (length * height * thickness)


or` V = int_a^b 2pi*` radius*height*thickness


For the bounded region, as shown on the attached image, the rectangular strip is parallel to x-axis (axis of rotation). We...

We can use a shell method when a bounded region represented by rectangular strip is parallel to the axis of revolution. It forms of infinite number of thin hollow pipes or “representative cylinders”.


 In this method, we follow the formula: `V = int_a^b ` (length * height * thickness)


or` V = int_a^b 2pi*` radius*height*thickness


For the bounded region, as shown on the attached image, the rectangular strip is parallel to x-axis (axis of rotation). We can let:


`r=y`


`h =f(x)` or `h=x_2 - x_1`


The `x_1` will be based from the boundary line x=0.


The `x_2` will be base on the equation `y =x^3 ` rearranged into `x= root(3)(y)`


`h = root(3)(y)-0`


`h=root(3)(y)`


For boundary values, we have `y_1=0` to `y_2=8` (based from the boundary line).


Plug-in the values on


 `V = int_a^b`` 2pi` *radius*height*thickness, , we get:


`V =int_0^8 2pi y*root(3)y*dy`


Apply basic integration property: `intc*f(x) dx = c int f(x) dx.`


`V = 2pi int_0^8 y* root(3)(y)dy`


Apply Law of Exponent: `root(n)(y^m)=y^(m/n)` then `root(n)(y)= y^(1/3)`and y^n*y^m = y^(n+m)


`V = 2pi int_0^8 y y^(1/3)dy`


`V = 2pi int_0^8  y^(1/3+1)dy`


`V = 2pi int_0^8  y^(4/3)dy`


Apply power rule for integration: `int y^n dy= y^(n+1)/(n+1).`


`V = 2pi y^(4/3+1)/(4/3+1) |_0^8`


`V = 2pi y^(7/3)/(7/3) |_0^8`


`V = 2pi y^(7/3)*(3/7) |_0^8`


`V = (6pi y^(7/3))/7 |_0^8`


Apply definite integration formula: int_a^b f(y) dy= F(b)-F(a).


`V = (6pi (8)^(7/3))/7 -(6pi (0)^(4/3))/7`


`V =(768pi)/7-0`


`V =(768pi)/7`  or `344.68 ` (approximated value).

In "By the Waters of Babylon," under the leadership of John, what do you think the Hill People will do with their society?

The best place to look for evidence in regards to what John's plans are for his people is the final paragraphs of the story. John has re...
