    Ques] The volume of the solid generated by the revolution, about x-axis, of the area bounded by the curve y = f(x), the x-axis and the ordinates x=a, =b is given by
    Int a- b pi*y^2 dx

    where y = f(x) is continuous, single valued function in the interval a<=x<=b and the curve does not cross the x-axis, the axis of revolution?

    Please help with such type of problems how will you solve this type of problem?

    This is 1st year calculus. To calculate a solid of revolution first define the "y" curve that will be revolved around the x axis. Start with something simple like a disk or annulus.
    Move up to more complex examples, like say a bell, or a wineglass.

    This gets you into integration by parts.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
