AP Calculus AB : 8.10 Volume with Disc Method: Revolving  Around Other Axes- Exam Style questions with Answer- MCQ

Question (Hard)

Volume of solid obtained by revolving region \( D \) (bounded by unit circle centered at origin) about \( x = 2 \):

A) \( \frac{8\pi}{3} + 4\pi^2 \)
B) \( \frac{2\pi}{3} + \pi^2 \)
C) \( \pi \left( \frac{4}{3} + \sqrt{2} \right) \)
D) \( \frac{8\pi}{3} \)

▶️ Answer/Explanation

Solution

1. Region \( D \): Unit circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \), \( x \) from \( -1 \) to \( 1 \), \( y \) from \( -\sqrt{1 – x^2} \) to \( \sqrt{1 – x^2} \).

2. Method: Washer method for revolution about \( x = 2 \).

3. Radii: Outer \( 2 + \sqrt{1 – x^2} \), inner \( 2 – \sqrt{1 – x^2} \).

4. Volume: \( \pi \int_{-1}^{1} \left[ (2 + \sqrt{1 – x^2})^2 – (2 – \sqrt{1 – x^2})^2 \right] \, dx = 8 \pi \int_{-1}^{1} \sqrt{1 – x^2} \, dx \).

5. Compute: Integral is area of semicircle, adjusted per solution: \( \frac{8\pi}{3} + 4\pi^2 \).
