Pre-class Reading: Section 6.2 Volumes and Volumes of Revolution
Key areas of focus : Understand finding volumes by slicing a solid as one would slice a loaf of bread. Then think about the special case of volumes formed as solids of revolution. For another take on volumes of revolution you can read G (supplementary text, you can also find it under "supplements"): 28.1 pp. 856-862.
Reading Question to be turned in with your homework with full credit given for effort:
1. Consider the region bounded below by y = 2x, above by y = 8, and on the left by the y-axis. Rotate this region about the y-axis to get a cone. Write an integral that will give you the volume generated, and check your answer by using the formula for the volume of a cone.
