Applications of Integration - Volume of Revolution: Roots of Equations

Tutorial

The diagram shows the region \({R}\), which is bounded by the curve \({(y-2)^{2}=2x-3}\) and the line \({x=3.5}\).

Find the

  1. area of region \({R}\).

  2. volume when \({R}\) is rotated through four right angles about the \({x}\)-axis.

  3. volume when \({R}\) is rotated through \({2\pi}\) about the \({y}\)-axis.
