The region bounded by the curves \(y=x-1\), \(y=\ln (x)\), and \(y=1\) is revolved about the line \(y=1\).
To use the Washer Method to set up an integral or sum of integrals that would give
the volume of the solid:
we should integrate with respect to \(x\).we should integrate with respect to \(y\).
How many integrals will we need to express the volume of the solid using the Washer
Method: \(\answer {2}\)
Express the volume of the solid using the Washer Method method:
You should notice that the curves \(y=\ln (x)\) and \(y=x-1\) intersect when \(x=1\) and the corresponding
\(y\)-value will be the lower limit of integration.
