Integration

Learn, then practise

The original worked lessons remain the main explanations. Use these focused reminders to check the conditions before you start.

Volumes of revolution: disks and washers

About the x-axis use \(V=\pi\int y^2\,dx\); about the y-axis use \(V=\pi\int x^2\,dy\). A washer uses \(\pi(R^2-r^2)\), not \(\pi(R-r)^2\). Radii are distances to the axis; check whether the region crosses it.
