AREA AND VOLUME (WASHER)


Example 2:

The region R is bounded by the curves x = 5  y2 and y = x + 1 .


y
x = 5  y2
y = x + 1

R x
0

a) Find the coordinates of A and B.


b) Determine the area of the shaded region R.
c) Find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about x = 5.
Use Washer Method.
Solution:
a) y = x + 1
y = 5  y2 + 1
y + y  6

= 0 y = x + 1
y = 3,2
x = 4,1
