Question 1

• Revolving a plane region about a line forms a solid of revolution.

Answer 1

• Revolving a plane region about a line forms a solid of revolution.

Question 2

• Using the disk method, the volume V of a solid of revolution is given by V=pi lim(B->A) [R(x)]^2 dx, where R(x) is the radius of the solid of revolution with respect to x.

Answer 2

• Using the disk method, the volume V of a solid of revolution is given by V=pi lim(B->A) [R(x)]^2 dx, where R(x) is the radius of the solid of revolution with respect to x.
