Use the shell method to set up and evaluate the integral that gives the volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region about x = 6.



y = x, y = 0, x = 3.
Revolving around x = 6, what is the volume of the shape formed using shell method?



I've tried this:

From what I've researched online and from my notes in class, this should be working but I can't find what I'm doing wrong.
I've also tried integrating from 3 to 6. Not sure what else I could be doing wrong. Thank you.





please include your thoughts about questions or what You have treid

At any $x$, you have a shell whose radius is $6-x$ and whose height is $x$, so its volume is $2pi x(6-x)Delta x$.



$2piint_0^3(6-x)(x-0)mathbb dx=2piint_0^3(6x-x^2)mathbb dx=2pi [3x^2-fracx^33]_0^3=2pi[18-0]=36pi$





Thank you so much. I wasn't thinking about it in the sense of subtracting but rather adding the extra length so I was stuck with adding 3.

Sure. The radius is $(6-x)$, when rotating about $x=6$...
