Q:Find the volume of the solid that results when the region enclosed by the given curves is revolved about the $y$-axis:
$$y=sqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}:(x>0),x=0,y=0,y=2$$




My first problem is I can't imagine the region and the answer provided by the book is: $pi tan^{-1}2$ which is far away from what I figured out. Any hints or solution will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here's the graph of the function (in red) with the area to be revolved around the $y$-axis shaded in blue.



There are two ways you could do this: by re-expressing the function in terms of $y$ and using the disc method, or by leaving the function the way it is and using the shell method.



Using the first method, you would need to evaluate the integral $$piint_0^2[g(y)]^2dy,$$ where $g(y)$ is the same function, but expressed in terms of $y$ (in other words, $x=ldots$ instead of $y=ldots$).



To find the volume using the second method, you would need two integrals (can you tell why?): $$2piint_0^ax(2)dx+2piint_a^1xf(x)dx,$$ where $x=a$ is the point of intersection between the function and the line $y=2$, which I'll leave to you to calculate.



enter image description here





Here's a brief explanation of why I used two integrals in the second method:



The general formula for finding the volume of a solid of revolution with the shell method is $$2piint_a^bxf(x),dx,$$ where $f(x)$ is some function that gives the height of the region you want to revolve around the $y$-axis. In this case, from $x=0$ to $x=1/sqrt{5}$, that function is just $y=2$, while from $x=1/sqrt{5}$ to $x=1$, the height is given by $y=sqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}$. Because the two regions have different heights, we need to use separate integrals to find the volume obtained from revolving each region around the $y$-axis.



In general, any time you see a sharp corner like the one at $(1/sqrt{5},2)$, that's a sign that you'll need multiple integrals.

    i need two integrals because you divides the volume into two cylinder at $frac {1}{ sqrt 5}$.Am i right?

The formula to compute volumes revolved about the $y$-axis is
$$V=2piint_a^bxf(x)dx.$$



First check where $f(x)=2$:
$$sqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}=2implies 1-x^2=4x^2implies x=frac{1}{sqrt{5}}.$$



So you can integrate between $0$ and $1/sqrt{5}$ with $g(x)=2$ and the rest of the area from $1/sqrt{5}$ to $1$ with your function $f(x)$, you get
$$V=2piint_0^{1/sqrt{5}}xg(x)dx+2piint_{1/sqrt{5}}^1xf(x)dx=2piint_0^{1/sqrt{5}}2xdx+2piint_{1/sqrt{5}}^1xsqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}dx.$$

  • Why $V=int_a^b pi f(y)^2 dy$ this formula is not used by you @james watt Sir.
    – raihan hossain
    Nov 22 '18 at 17:53












  • That formula is used to calculate volumes around the $x$-axis. If you rotate your function around $x$-axis the value $f(x)$ is the radius of your solid in a certain $xin[a,b]$, integrating on $[a,b]$ you get the total volume. $f(x)$ is squared because the formula of the area of a circle is $pi r^2$, in this case $r=f(x)$.

The formula to compute volumes revolved about the $y$-axis is
$$V=2piint_a^bxf(x)dx.$$



First check where $f(x)=2$:
$$sqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}=2implies 1-x^2=4x^2implies x=frac{1}{sqrt{5}}.$$



So you can integrate between $0$ and $1/sqrt{5}$ with $g(x)=2$ and the rest of the area from $1/sqrt{5}$ to $1$ with your function $f(x)$, you get
$$V=2piint_0^{1/sqrt{5}}xg(x)dx+2piint_{1/sqrt{5}}^1xf(x)dx=2piint_0^{1/sqrt{5}}2xdx+2piint_{1/sqrt{5}}^1xsqrt{frac{1-x^2}{x^2}}dx.$$

  • Why $V=int_a^b pi f(y)^2 dy$ this formula is not used by you @james watt Sir.
