This applet provides visualization of the solid of revolution generated by revolving the region bounded by and about the y-axis. Options allow for visualizing the solid of revolution and/or an approximating washer and/or an approximating shell.
- Write an expression that gives the volume of an approximating washer.
- Write an integral that represents the volume of the solid of revolution using the method of washers.
- Write an expression that gives the volume of an approximating shell.
- Write an integral that represents the volume of the solid of revolution using the method of shells.
