Use the shell method to set up and evaluate the integral that gives the volume of the solid generated by revolving...

To be able to use the Shell method, a rectangular strip from the bounded plane region should be parallel to the axis of revolution. By revolving multiple rectangular strips, it forms infinite numbers of these hollow pipes or representative cylinders.

 In this method, we follow the formula: (length * height * thickness)


or * radius*height*thickness


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



or


h =(sqrt(x-2)) - 0 = sqrt(x-2)


thickness


For boundary values of x, we have to .


Plug-in the values on  * radius*height*thickness , we get:



Apply basic integration property: .



To determine the indefinite integral, we may apply u-substitution by letting then . The can be rearranged as .


 The integral becomes:



Apply Law of Exponent: and .




Apply basic integration property:i .



Apply Power rule for integration: .






 Plug -in , we get:


 with boundary values: to .


Apply definite integration formula: .







or (approximated value)
