Let R be the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the lines #x=ln 3# and #y=1# and the graph of #y=e^(x/2)#, how do you find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the line y=-1?
Easiest is to revolve So the volume of the small strip width dx when Then deducting the cylinder (shaded green) which has volume

To find the volume of the solid generated when the region ( R ) is revolved about the line ( y = -1 ), you can use the method of cylindrical shells. The volume ( V ) is given by the integral:
[ V = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} r(x) \cdot h(x) , dx ]
Where:
- ( r(x) ) represents the distance from the axis of revolution to the shell at position ( x ),
- ( h(x) ) represents the height of the shell at position ( x ),
- ( a ) and ( b ) are the limits of integration.
In this case, the region ( R ) is bounded by the lines ( x = \ln 3 ), ( y = 1 ), and the graph ( y = e^{x/2} ). The limits of integration ( a ) and ( b ) will be the x-coordinates of the intersection points between the curve ( y = e^{x/2} ) and the line ( y = 1 ).
To set up the integral, you'll need to express ( r(x) ) and ( h(x) ) in terms of ( x ). ( r(x) ) is the distance from ( y = -1 ) to the curve ( y = e^{x/2} ), which is ( 1 + e^{x/2} ). ( h(x) ) is the length of the cylindrical shell, which is ( \ln 3 - x ).
So, the integral becomes:
[ V = 2\pi \int_{\ln 3}^{b} (1 + e^{x/2})(\ln 3 - x) , dx ]
You then need to find the value of ( b ) by solving ( e^{x/2} = 1 ), which yields ( x = 0 ). Thus, the integral becomes:
[ V = 2\pi \int_{\ln 3}^{0} (1 + e^{x/2})(\ln 3 - x) , dx ]
You can then evaluate this integral to find the volume of the solid.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
