Definition of a Definite Integral
Make Sure You Remember Process for Calculating Area
Divide the region into n pieces.
Approximate the area of each piece with a rectangle.
Add together the areas of the rectangles.
Take the limit as n goes to infinity.
The result gives a definite integral.
General Idea - Slicing
1. Divide the solid into n pieces (slices).
2. Approximate the volume of each slice.
3. Add together the volumes of the slices.
4. Take the limit as n goes to infinity.
5. The result gives a definite integral.
Disk Method

What if the ends are not perpendicular to the side?
No difference! (note: h is the distance between the ends)

Finding A(x).
Volumes by Slicing: ExampleFind the volume of the solid of revolution formed by rotating the region bounded by the x-axis and the graph of from x=0 to x=1, about the x-axis.
Here is a Problem for You:Find the volume of the solid of revolution formed by rotating the region bounded by the x-axis and the graph of y = x4, from x=1 to x=2, about the x-axis.
Ready?A(x) = p(x4)2= px8.
Washer Method
• Consider the area between two functions rotated about the axis
• Now we have a hollow solid
• We will sum the volumes of washers

Solids of RevolutionA solid obtained by revolving a region around a line.
When the axis of rotation is NOT a border of the region.
Creates a “pipe” and the slice will be a washer.
Find the volume of the solid and subtract the volume of the hole.

Ready?
So……how do you calculate volumes of revolution?
• Graph your functions to create the region.
• Spin the region about the appropriate axis.
• Set up your integral.
• Integrate the function.
• Evaluate the integral.
