The volume of the region R bounded by the x-axis is:
If the axis of revolution is the boundary of the plane region and the cross-sections are parallel to the line of revolution, we may use the polar coordinate approach to calculate the volume of the solid.
From the given graph:
The given straight line passes through two points (0,0) and (2,8). Thus, the equation of the straight line becomes:
here:
- (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the straight line
Suppose we assign (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 8) from the graph, we have:
y = 4x
Now, our region bounded by the three lines are:
- y = 0
- x = 2
- y = 4x
Similarly, the change in polar coordinates is:
- x = rcosθ,
- y = rsinθ
where;
- x² + y² = r² and dA = rdrdθ
Therefore;
- rsinθ = 0 i.e. r = 0 or θ = 0
- rcosθ = 2 i.e. r = 2/cosθ
- rsinθ = 4(rcosθ) ⇒ tan θ = 4; θ = tan⁻¹ (4)
- ⇒ r = 0 to r = 2/cosθ
- θ = 0 to θ = tan⁻¹ (4)
Then:
