Question
Use the method of shells to find the volume of a sphere of radius $r$.
Step 1
First, we need to set up the integral. We'll integrate with respect to y, so we need to find the radius and height of each cylindrical shell. The radius of a cylindrical shell at a given y-value is the distance from the y-axis to the edge of the sphere, which is Show more…
