Applications Of The Definite Integral

The area between two curves

The Volume of the Solid of revolution (by slicing)
AREA BETWEEN CURVES
AREA BETWEEN CURVES
Determine the area of the region bounded by y = 2x2 +10 and y = 4x +16 between x = -2 and x = 5
Intersection: (-1,-2) and (5,4).
Intersection: (-1,-2) and (5,4).

So, in this last example weve seen a case where we could use either method to find the area.
However, the second was definitely easier.
Intersection points are:

y=-1
y=3
Volume of REVOLUTION
Find the Volume of revolution using the disk method
Find the volume of revolution using the washer method
Find the volume of revolution using the shell method
Find the volume of a solid with known cross sections
Area is only one of the applications of integration. We can add up
representative volumes in the same way we add up representative rectangles.
When we are measuring volumes of revolution, we can slice representative
disks or washers.

These are a few of the many industrial uses for volumes of revolutions.

to the axis of rotation.
Example:

Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by y = x and y = x over the interval
[0, 1] about the x axis.
Example: rotate it around x = axis

Find the volume of the solid of revolution formed by rotating the finite region bounded by the graphs of about the x-axis.
Volumes by Cylindrical Shells
Summing up the volumes of all these infinitely thin shells, we get the total volume of the solid of revolution:
u=x1 x = 1 u=0
x=u+1 x = 2 u=1
du = dx

Procedure: volume by slicing

o sketch the solid and a typical cross section

o find a formula for the area, A(x), of the cross section

o find limits of integration

o integrate A(x) to get volume

 Find the volume of a solid whose base is the circle x2 + y2 = 4 and where cross sections
perpendicular to the x-axis are all squares whose sides lie on the base of the circle.

First, find the length of a side of the square

the distance from the curve to the x-axis is half the length of
the side of the square solve for y

x2 y 2 4
length of a side is :
y 2 4 x2 2 4 x2
