📚 Quick Study Guide

  • 🔄 Disk Method Basics: When revolving a region around the y-axis, your integral will be with respect to $y$. This means you need to express your function as $x = f(y)$.
  • 📐 Formula: The volume $V$ is given by the integral $V = \pi \int_{c}^{d} [f(y)]^2 dy$, where $c$ and $d$ are the limits of integration along the y-axis.
  • 🧭 Limits of Integration: Determine the correct limits $c$ and $d$ by finding the y-values where the region starts and ends.
  • 🧮 Function Squared: Make sure to square the function $f(y)$ before integrating.
  • ✏️ Integration: Evaluate the definite integral to find the volume.
