The disk method for calculating volumes is used when a solid is formed by rotating a region around a line. In this case, the solid is made up of many thin disks with the radius of the disk equal to the function f(x), which is being rotated around the axis.

The washer method is a modification of the disk method. It is used when there is a hole in the center of the solid, meaning the solid is not entirely filled. This happens when the region is rotated around an axis, but not all of the region is included in the solid.

Study Notes
Integrating Functions
- Integration is the reverse process of differentiation
- Used to find areas, volumes, and other quantities
- Different functions have specific integration rules derived from their derivatives
Power Functions
- Power functions are of the form f(x) = xn, where n is a constant
- Integration rule: ∫xn dx = xn+1/(n+1) + C, where n ≠ -1
- This rule applies to positive and negative exponents except when n = -1
- When n = -1, the integral requires a logarithmic form (e.g., ∫(1/x) dx = ln|x| + C)
Exponential Functions
- Exponential functions, especially those with base e (ex), have derivative equal to themselves
- Integration rule: ∫ex dx = ex + C
- For other bases (e.g., ax), the integration formula involves a logarithmic factor: ∫ax dx = ax/ln(a) + C
Trigonometric Functions
- Integrals of common trigonometric functions:
- ∫sin(x) dx = -cos(x) + C
- ∫cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C
- ∫sec2(x) dx = tan(x) + C
- ∫csc2(x) dx = -cot(x) + C
- Important for applications like wave analysis, physics, and engineering
Area Between Curves
- To find the area between two curves (y = f(x) and y = g(x)) over an interval [a, b]:
- Area = ∫ab (f(x) - g(x)) dx
- Assumes f(x) is the upper curve and g(x) is the lower curve
Average Value of a Function
- Average value of f(x) over the interval [a, b]:
- (1/(b - a)) * ∫ab f(x) dx
Volumes of Solids
- Disk Method: Used when a solid is formed by rotating a region around an axis (typically x-axis or y-axis). Volume = π∫ab [f(x)]2 dx
- Washer Method: Used when a solid has a hole in its center. Volume = π∫ab ([f(x)]2 – [g(x)]2) dx, where f(x) is the outer curve and g(x) is the inner curve
- Shell Method: Used when rotating a region around a vertical axis. Volume = 2π∫ab x * f(x) dx
Work Problems (Spring Motion and Fluid Motion)
- Spring Motion: Work done to stretch/compress a spring is given by the integral of force over displacement: W = ∫0d kx dx = (kd2)/2 (where k is spring constant, d is displacement)
- Fluid Motion: Calculus used to compute work needed to pump fluids
Differentiating Inverse Functions
- The derivative of an inverse function f-1(x) is (1/f'(f-1(x)))
- Useful when an inverse function is challenging to express algebraically, but the derivative must be calculated.
