Volume Calculation Using Shell Method

The video tutorial explains how to use the shell method to calculate the volume of a solid formed by rotating a bounded region around the y-axis. It begins by identifying the region using a quadratic function and its intercepts. The tutorial then sets up the integral for the shell method, detailing the radius and height functions. Finally, it solves the integral to find the exact volume of the solid, emphasizing the importance of understanding each step in the process.

What method is used to determine the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region around the y-axis?

• Cavalieri's principle

• Disk method

• Shell method

• Washer method
