Below is a sketch of the region bounded by the curve $x = an(frac{pi y}{4})$, the line $x = 0$, and the line $y = 1$. (Click on the graph to enlarge it.) A solid is obtained by rotating this region about the y-axis. A cross-section of the solid perpendicular to the y-axis is a circular disk with radius $r = g(y)$ (because the radius depends on y) and area $A(y) = pi[g(y)]^2$. What are the radius and area of the disk at y? $r = g(y) = an(frac{pi y}{4})$ $A(y) = pi( an(frac{pi y}{4}))^2$ The volume of the solid is then given by $V = int_c^d pi[g(y)]^2 dy$. Find the following c = 0 d = 1 V =

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. Sketch the region, the solid, and a typical disk or washer. $y=\sin x, y=\cos x, 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \pi / 4 ; \quad$ about $y=-1$

Volumes
Consider the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the line x = 4. Find the volume V of this solid. Rotating the horizontal strip between x = 4y^2 and x = 4 around x = 4 creates a washer. The center of the disk is at the line x = 4 and the radius is measured from this line. Thus, the radius of the disk is r. The cross-sectional area of the disk is A = πr^2. The curve and the line x = 4 intersect at the points (-1, 1). Now we can say that the volume of the solid created by rotating the shaded area around x = 4 is ∫A(y) dy. So the volume of our solid is ∫(πr^2) dy. 16 So the volume of our solid is 16π.
