The volume generated by rotating the region about x = 1 is 136π cubic units.
1. Sketch and Identify:
Imagine the curves y = 5x - x^2 (parabola) and y = 4 (horizontal line) on a coordinate plane.
The region bounded by these curves forms a hump with its peak to the left of center.
The axis of rotation is a vertical line at x = 1.
2. Imagine Cylindrical Shells:
Picture the region sliced vertically into thin slices like narrow pizza slices.
Each slice becomes a cylindrical shell with thickness dx, height (5x - x^2) - 4, and radius 1 - x.
3. Base Area and Volume:
The base area of each shell is the lateral surface area of the cylinder: 2π(1 - x)(5x - x^2 - 4).
The volume of each shell is the product of base area, height, and thickness: 2π(1 - x)(5x - x^2 - 4) dx.
4. Definite Integral:
The total volume is the sum of the volumes of infinitely many such shells:
V = ∫_a^b 2π(1 - x)(5x - x^2 - 4) dx
where a and b are the x-coordinates of the intersection points.
5. Interval of Integration:
Solve 5x - x^2 = 4:
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 4) = 0
x = 1, 4
Therefore, the interval of integration is [1, 4].
6. Solve the Integral:
This integral requires integration by parts. We'll skip the detailed steps here, but the solution involves integrating u = 1 - x and dv = (5x - x^2 - 4) dx.
After applying integration by parts and integrating the remaining terms, you'll get:
V = 4π(6x^2 - 12x + 11) |_1^4
7. Evaluate the Definite Integral:
Substitute the limits of integration:
V = 4π[(6(4)^2 - 12(4) + 11) - (6(1)^2 - 12(1) + 11)]
V = 4π(68 - 24 - 10)
V = 4π * 34
V = 136π
