Math Problem Statement
Use the best method available to find the volume.
The region bounded by y = 10 − x, y = 10 and y = x revolved about the y−axis.
500pi/3 is wrong
Solution
To find the volume of the solid generated when the given region is revolved around the -axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells or the disk/washer method. However, the shell method is more convenient here as the region is bounded in terms of .
Problem setup:
-
Equations of boundaries:
- (slant line),
- (horizontal line),
- (diagonal line).
-
Intersection points:
- The lines and intersect at (substitute → ).
- The region is bounded by to along the -axis.
Shell method formulation:
When using the shell method, the formula for the volume is:
- Radius: The distance of the shell from the -axis is .
- Height: The height is determined by , which is .
- Bounds: ranges from 0 to 5.
Thus, the volume is:
