find the volume bounded by the x-axis, y=x^2+1, and x=-1,x=1 revolved about the x-axis.
Here is the area to be revolved. When revolved about the x-axis
a pulley will be created with no hole for an axle.
The vertical elements all have one end on the same graph (the x-axis)
and the other end on the same graph (the parabola). We could not say the
same if we used horizontal elements.
We can do it this way:
Volume = = = = =
But because of symmetry w/r the y-axis we can just find the volume
of the right side of the pulley and double it, and take the lower limit
as 0 instead of -1.
