Explanation Given: The solid region is formed by the equation of the curves is f ( x ) = 2 x − x 2 , g ( x ) = x . The region R is bounded by the above curves. Formula used: (1) The volume of the solid (shell method) is V = ∫ a b 2 π x ( f ( x ) − g ( x ) ) d x , where 2 π x and f ( x ) − g ( x ) are the shell circumference and height, respectively. (2) The volume of the solid (washer method) is V = ∫ c d π ( p ( y ) 2 − q ( y ) 2 ) d y , where p ( y ) and q ( y ) are the outer and inner radius, respectively. Calculation: Calculate the volume of the solid using shell method as follows, Let l = f ( x ) − g ( x ) . Calculate the value of l with g ( x ) = x and f ( x ) = 2 x − x 2 . l = ( 2 x − x 2 ) − x = 2 x − x 2 − x = x − x 2 To find the limit of the integration, it is enough to find the intersection points of the curve f ( x ) = 2 x − x 2 and g ( x ) = x as follows, 2 x − x 2 = x x − x 2 = 0 x ( 1 − x ) = 0 x = 0 , x = 1 Substitute the value of f ( x ) − g ( x ) = ( x − x 2 ) in the above mentioned formula and take x = 0 as lower limit and x = 1 as upper limit to calculate the volume of the solid. V = ∫ 0 1 2 π x ( x − x 2 ) d x = 2 π ∫ 0 1 ( x 2 − x 3 ) d x = 2 π ∫ 0 1 x 2 d x − 2 π ∫ 0 1 x 3 d x = 2 π [ x 3 3 ] 0 1 − 2 π [ x 4 4 ] 0 1 On further simplification, V = 2 π 3 ( 1 − 0 ) − π 2 ( 1 − 0 ) = 2 π 3 − π 2 = 4 π − 3 π 6 = π 6 Thus, the volume of the solid using shell method is π 6

Optimization

Optimization comes from the same root as "optimal". "Optimal" means the highest. When you do the optimization process, that is when you are "making it best" to maximize everything and to achieve optimal results, a set of parameters is the base for the se…

Integration

Integration means to sum the things. In mathematics, it is the branch of Calculus which is used to find the area under the curve. The operation subtraction is the inverse of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication. In the same way, integratio…

Application of Integration

In mathematics, the process of integration is used to compute complex area related problems. With the application of integration, solving area related problems, whether they are a curve, or a curve between lines, can be done easily.

Volume

In mathematics, we describe the term volume as a quantity that can express the total space that an object occupies at any point in time. Usually, volumes can only be calculated for 3-dimensional objects. By 3-dimensional or 3D objects, we mean objects th…

Area

Area refers to the amount of space a figure encloses and the number of square units that cover a shape. It is two-dimensional and is measured in square units.
