Definition of shell method Lecture and Laptop and What is shell

The shell method is a technique for finding the discussion projector method?
volumes of solids of revolutions. It considers Pictures
vertical slices of the region being integrated
rather than horizontal ones, so it can greatly
simplify certain problems where the vertical slices
are more easily described.

Derivation of the formula in shell method

What is the
formula for shell
method?

In the diagram, the yellow region is revolved

about the y-axis.   Two of the shells are shown.  
For each value of x between 0 and a (in the
graph), a cylindrical shell is obtained, with
radius x and height f(x).   Thus, the volume of one
of these shells (with thickness dx) is given by

Summing up the volumes of all these infinitely

thin shells, we get the total volume of the solid of
revolution:

Example 2:

Find the volume of the solid of revolution formed

by rotating the finite region bounded by the
graphs of y= √ x−1∧ y=( x−1 )2 about the y-axis.

To graph the given

functions

the graph is rotated in

the axis of revolution.
Here we could see the
shell inside the graph.
