All flashcards

Flashcard 1: Identify the axis of revolution in y=f(x)y = f(x)y=f(x) revolved around y=cy = cy=c.

Answer: y=cy = cy=c. The horizontal line about which the region is rotated.

Flashcard 2: Which axis is used in x=g(y)x = g(y)x=g(y) revolved around x=cx = cx=c?

Answer: x=cx = cx=c. The vertical line about which the region is rotated.

Flashcard 3: What does R(x)R(x)R(x) represent in the washer method?

Answer: The outer radius function. The distance from the axis of revolution to the farther boundary curve.

Flashcard 4: State the formula for volume using the washer method.

Answer: V=π∫ab [(R(x))2−(r(x))2] dxV = \pi \int_a^b \, [(R(x))^2 - (r(x))^2] \, dxV=π∫ab​[(R(x))2−(r(x))2]dx. Standard washer method formula with outer radius R(x)R(x)R(x) and inner radius r(x)r(x)r(x).

Flashcard 5: What does R(x)R(x)R(x) represent in the washer method?

Answer: The outer radius function. The distance from the axis of revolution to the farther boundary curve.

Flashcard 6: State the formula for volume using the washer method.

Answer: V=π∫ab [(R(x))2−(r(x))2] dxV = \pi \int_a^b \, [(R(x))^2 - (r(x))^2] \, dxV=π∫ab​[(R(x))2−(r(x))2]dx. Standard washer method formula with outer radius R(x)R(x)R(x) and inner radius r(x)r(x)r(x).

Flashcard 7: Which axis is used in x=g(y)x = g(y)x=g(y) revolved around x=cx = cx=c?

Answer: x=cx = cx=c. The vertical line about which the region is rotated.

Flashcard 8: What does r(x)r(x)r(x) represent in the washer method?

Answer: The inner radius function. The distance from the axis of revolution to the nearer boundary curve.

Flashcard 9: Identify the axis of revolution in y=f(x)y = f(x)y=f(x) revolved around y=cy = cy=c.

Answer: y=cy = cy=c. The horizontal line about which the region is rotated.
