Disc and Washer Methods Volume Review

Front

Define the Disc Method for finding volumes of revolution.

Back

The Disc Method involves slicing a solid of revolution into thin discs perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The volume of each disc is calculated and integrated over the interval of interest.

What is the Washer Method in volume calculations?

Back

The Washer Method is used when the solid of revolution has a hole in the middle. It involves calculating the volume of an outer disc and subtracting the volume of the inner disc.
