Let R be the region bounded by the following curves. Use the disk or washer method to find the volume of the solid generated when $R$ is revolved about the $y$ -axis.

$$y=\sin ^{-1} x, x=0, y=\pi / 4$$

Key Concepts

Volume of Solids of Revolution

This concept involves finding the volume of a three?dimensional solid generated by revolving a two?dimensional region about an axis. It typically requires setting up and evaluating an integral that sums up the volumes of infinitesimally thin slices (disks or washers) to obtain the total volume of the solid.

Disk and Washer Methods

These methods are techniques for computing volumes of solids of revolution. The disk method is used when the solid has no hole (i.e., each cross-sectional slice perpendicular to the axis of revolution is a solid disk), while the washer method is applied when the slices have a central hole, resulting in washers. Both methods require expressing the slice's area as a function of the variable of integration.

Setting Up Definite Integrals

To find the volume of a solid of revolution, one must identify the correct limits of integration and express the radius (or radii) of the disks or washers as functions of the variable of integration. This integral setup determines the cross-sectional area at each slice and, when integrated over the appropriate interval, yields the volume of the solid.

Using Inverse Functions in Integration

In certain scenarios, the boundary functions are given in terms of an inverse function, necessitating a careful handling of variable roles. This may involve expressing one variable in terms of the other to correctly identify the radius of the disks or washers, ensuring that the integral is correctly set up with respect to the axis of revolution.
