What is the volume of the solid formed by the line?

The graph of y=2sin(πx2) from x = 0 to x = 2 is rotated around the y-axis to form a solid figure. Find the volume of the solid.enter image source here

V=π20(2sin(πx2))2dx=4π

Explanation:

we will use Disk method to calculate the volume of the solid generated from rotating the curve around x-axis

the interval of the integral of volume x[0,2]

The volume of the solid between the curve and the axis is given by:

V=πbay2dx

V=π20(2sin(πx2))2dx

V=π20(4sin2(πx2))dx

V=4π20(1212cos(πx))dx

V=2π20(1cos(πx))dx

=2π[x1πsin(πx)]20=[(21πsin2π)(1πsin0)]

20+0=4π
