How do you find the volume??
Where is the cylinder :(


I get how to find volume by integration..and put limits and stuff.
How do you know that when to subtract from something else.

A cylinder is formed when the line y=5 is rotated 360o about the x-axis.

When you find volume by integration with the suitable limits, you'll get the volume under the curve being rotated 360o.

Volume of shaded region when rotated 360o will be a small part of the big cylinder formed and you'll observe that the shaded region is above the curve.

Hence volume of Shaded region will be volume of cylinder minus volume under the curve

Volume of shaded region = Volume of cylinder - Volume under curve

Hope it helps :)
