\[\textrm{volume}\ =\ \int_a^b A(x)dx\] where \(A(x)\) is the cross section area of the slice at \(x\). See the example in class. |
\[\textrm{volume}\ =\ \int_a^b 2\pi x f(x) dx\] for the volume of the solid of revolution obtained by rotating the area under the graph of \(y=f(x) \ge 0\) about the \(y\)-axis.
For example, \(y=e^{-x^2}\), \(0\le x\le 1\).
