Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the volume of the solid generated by rotating the region bounded by , , , and about the -axis, we use the method of disks. The formula for the volume when the region between the curve and the -axis from to is rotated about the -axis is given by:
For the given function , the limits of integration are and . Substituting these into the volume formula, we have:
To simplify the integral, we can use the trigonometric identity :
The volume integral becomes:
This simplifies to:
We can now compute this integral:
Thus, the volume is:
The volume of the solid generated is cubic units.
