Volume of Non Continuous Regions Matheamtica
All Calculus 1 Resources
Suppose I want to construct a cylindrical container. It costs 5 dollars per square foot to construct the two circular ends and 2 dollars per square foot for the rounded side. If I have a budget of 100 dollars, what's the maximum volume possible for this container?
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Write down equations representing the volume(V) and cost of the cylinder.
We want to find the values of and
that will maximize the volume. Before taking the derivative of the volume equation, let's eliminate
by using the cost equation.
Plug this into the volume equation
So now is eliminated in the volume equation. Take the derivative with respect to
, set it equal to zero, and solve for
.
We can use this value to find
Now that we found AND
that maximizes the volume, we can find that maximum volume
We have the function and it is used to form a three dimensional figure by rotating it about the line
. Find the volume of that figure from
to
.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Imagine a test rectangle with a length of and it is rotated around
to form a cicular disk with area
. The disk has a thickness
so that its volume is
. To find the total volume of the figure, turn this into an integral.
Perform the integration
Consider a volume V of height H along some axis, which we will simply call h, such that . We can express the figure as cross-sectional areas A(h) perpendicular to this h-axis. For example for a cone whose base has radius r, we can choose the axis to go through the point of the cone at h = 0 and then the cone is a stack of little circles of radius
, so
.
What is in terms of
?
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The volume is approximated by the Riemann sum formed when we stack n layers atop each other with ,
In the limit as n gets large, this expression becomes the integral:
What is the volume inside the bowl ,
? Hint: This is a solid of revolution about the z-axis with a radius of
.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Since we know that the volume element
,
and integrating gives:
The following function:
Is rotated around the -axis to create a three-dimensional shape. What is the volume of this object within the interval
to
?
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Note that for a given value of x in the function:
The value of f(x) is the distance between the corresponding point on the curve and the x-axis. If the curve is rotated around the x-axis to create a three-dimensional object, f(x) can be seen as the radius of a circular cross-section of the object for any value of x.
To define the volume of this object, we can view it as a sum of infinitely thin disks stacked along the x-axis:
Note how this follows the formula for the volume of a cylinder or disk
,
where is the radius and
is the height.
Plugging in our function and range, we can rewrite this as:
or
Integrating this yields
Using the upper bound of 2 and lower bound of 0 we find,
.
Determine the volume for the region bounded by and
if the region is revolved about the
-axis.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
In the region bounded by and
, write the formula to determine the volume of a solid revolved about an axis. This is the washer method.
Determine which function is the top function. This will be the big radius, and the small radius is represented by the bottom curve. The bounds of the integral are at the intersections of the two bounded functions. Evaluate the integral.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The unit circle is described by and is graphed below. Find the volume of the shaded region rotated around the
-axis. The shaded region starts at
and ends at
.
To find the volume of a region rotated around the -axis, we must find:
In our case, this is:
Using the method of cylindrical disks, find the volume of the region of the graph of
revolved around the -axis on the interval
.
Possible Answers:

Correct answer:
units cubed
Explanation:
The formula for the volume is given as
where.
As such,
.
When taking the integral, we will use the inverse power rule which states,
.
Applying this rule we get
.
And by the corollary of the first Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
.
As such, the volume is
units cubed.

Find the volume of the solid shape made by rotating about the
-axis on the interval
.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Find the volume of the solid shape made by rotating f(x) about the x-axis on the interval
Recall the following formula for volume of a solid shape:
Where A(x) is equal to the the area of a disk made by rotating our function:
So we need to put it all together:
Then, we know that our limits of integration must be 0 and 3, because they are the interval that we are working with.
(Notice that plugging in 0 will yield 0, so we only need to really worry about the 3)
So our answer is:
