Volume of solid under the curve y= 7/(x^2 +5x +6)

[chinex9a]

I am studying for an exam and I don't you know how to go about this?

Volume of solid under the curve y= 7/(x^2 +5x +6) from x = 0 to x = 1 if rotated about the y-axis.

I made x the subject of the formula getting (sqrt(y+28)-5 sqrt(y))/(2 sqrt(y)) and then I found what y is when x= 0 and x=1, which were y=7/6 and y=7/12 respectively.

then I integrated using (pi*(f(y))^2*dy); pi*((sqrt(y+28)-5 sqrt(y))/(2 sqrt(y)))^2 to get the volume then I got

pi*(-7/12+105 log(2)-70 log(3)+log(128)) which is aprroximately 0.46.


I know the answer isn't correct because I checked the answers on my text book. Plz help me understand this problem

Thank you

Why would you want to do that?

[chinex9a]

because we are rotating about the y axis

because we are rotating about the y axis

So. Use the method of cylindrical shells.

Yes that is what I did right. pi*(f(y))^2 dy

and so are b and a 7/6 and 7/12 ?

Am I correct????????????

No. a and b are 0 and 1
