We'll recall the formula of solid of
revolution:
V = pi*Integral [f(x)]^2 dx, where the limits
of integration are x = -1 and x = 1.
Let y = f(x) = |1 -
sqrt(1-x)|
We'll recall the property of absolute
value:
|a|^2 = a^2 => |f(x)|^2 = [f(x)]^2 = [1 -
sqrt(1-x)]^2
V = pi*Int [1 - sqrt(1-x)]^2
dx
We'll expand the square:
[1
- sqrt(1-x)]^2 = 1 - 2sqrt(1-x) + 1 - x
Int [1 -
sqrt(1-x)]^2 dx = Int [1 - 2sqrt(1-x) + 1 - x]dx
Int [1 -
sqrt(1-x)]^2 dx = 2Int dx - 2Int sqrt(1-x)dx - Int
xdx
We'll calculate Int sqrt(1-x)dx using
substitution:
1 - x = t => -dx =
dt
Int sqrt(1-x)dx = -Int t^(1/2)
dt
-Int t^(1/2) dt = -
t^(3/2)/(3/2)
2Int sqrt(1-x)dx =
-4(1-x)^(3/2)/3
Int [1 - sqrt(1-x)]^2 dx = 2x - x^2/2 +
4(1-x)^(3/2)/3
Now, we'll apply Leibniz Newton
formula:
Int [1 - sqrt(1-x)]^2 dx = F(1) -
F(-1)
F(1) = 2 - 1/2
F(-1) =
-2 - 1/2 + 8sqrt2/3
F(1) - F(-1) = 2 - 1/2 + 2 + 1/2 -
8sqrt2/3
F(1) - F(-1) = 4 -
8sqrt2/3
The requested volume of the solid of
revolution is V = pi*(4 - 8sqrt2/3).
