How do you find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the curve about the y-axis over [0,1]?

y=x1x2

We must imagine that the graph has radius r. Then the volume will be πr2h. In this case we have:

V=π10(x1x2)2dx

Therefore

V=π10x2(1x2)dx

V=π10x2x4dx

V=π[13x315x5]10

V=π(1315)

V=215π cubic units

Hopefully this helps!
