Introduction:

One very useful application of Integration is


finding the area and volume of “curved” figures,
that we couldn’t typically get without using
Calculus. Since we already know that can use the
integral to get the area between the x- and y-axis
and a function, we can also get the volume of this
figure by rotating the figure around either one of
the axes.
Area Between Curves
Since we know how to get the area under a curve here in the Definite
Integrals section, we can also get the area between two curves by subtracting
the bottom curve from the top curve everywhere where the top curve is
higher than the bottom curve. The cool thing about this is it even works if
one of the curves is below the x-axis, as long as the higher curve always
stays above the lower curve in the integration interval.

Area of Region Between Two Curves:

For functions f and g where f(x)≥g(x) for all x in [a,b], the area of the
region bounded by the graphs and the vertical lines x=a and x=b is:

Area=
Example:
Volumes of Solids by Cross
Sections:
Now that we know how to get areas under and between curves, we can use this
method to get the volume of a three-dimensional solid, either with cross-sections
or by rotating a curve around a given axis. Think about it; every day engineers are
busy at work trying to figure out how much material they’ll need for certain
pieces of metal, for example, and they are using calculus to figure this stuff out!
Since integration is “in cross-section on”, we can just cross-section the interval of
cross-section to get a volume. Thus, given the e cross-sectional area A(x) in the
interval [a,b], and cross sections are perpendicular to the x-axis, the volume of this
solid is :

Volumes of Solids:
The Disk Method
Now let’s talk about getting a volume by revolving a function or curve
around a given axis to obtain a solid of revolution.

Since we know now how to get the area of a region using integration, we can
get the volume of a solid by rotating the area around a line, which results in a
right cylinder, or disk. (Remember that the formula for the volume of a
cylinder is πr2⋅height). The radius is the distance from the axis of revolution
to the function, and the “height” of each disk, or slice is “dx” or “dy”,
depending on the orientation. Again, since integration is “infinite
summation”, we can just integrate over the interval to get a volume. Note
that volumes may be different, depending on which axis is used for rotation!
Volumes of Solids:
The Disk Method
Volumes of Solids:
The washer method is similar to the disk method, but it covers solids of
The Washer Methodrevolution that have “holes”, where we have inner and outer functions, thus
inner and outer radii.
With washers, we have two revolving solids and we basically subtract the
area of the inner solid from the area of the outer one. Note that for this to
work, the middle function must be completely inside (or touching) the outer
function over the integration interval.
Volumes of Solids:
The shell method for finding volume of a solid of revolution uses integration
The Shell Methodalong an axis perpendicular to the axis of revolution instead of parallel, as
we’ve seen with the disk and washer methods. The nice thing about the shell
method is that you can integrate around the y-axis and not have to take the
inverse of functions. Also, the rotational solid can have a hole in it (or not),
so it’s a little more robust. It’s not intuitive though, since it deals with an
infinite number of “surface areas” of rectangles in the shapes of cylinders
(shells).
