The document provides an overview of using integrals to calculate the areas between curves, volumes of solids, lengths of curves, and other quantities. It discusses:
- Approximating the area between curves using Riemann sums and defining the integral as the limit of these sums.
- Calculating areas between curves by integrating f(x) - g(x) from the limits of integration, which may be where the curves intersect.
- Partitioning a region into subregions if the bounding curve formulas change, and integrating over each subregion.
- Calculating areas by integrating with respect to y instead of x if the region is described in terms of y.
- Combining calculus

of Integrals
OYERVIEW Many things we want to know can be calculated with integrals: the
areasbetweencurves,the volumes and sudaceareasof solids, the lengthsof curves,
the amount of work it takes to pump liquids fiom belowground, the forces againsr
floodgates,the coordinatesof the points where solid objects will balance.We define
all of these as limits of Riemann sums of continuous functions on closed intervals.
that is, as integrals,and evaluatethese limits with calculus.
There is a pattern to how we define the integrals in applications, a pattern
that, once learned,enablesus to define new integralswhen we need them. We look
at specific applications 0rst, then examine the pattern and show how it leads to
integrals in new situations.

The most common applicarion of the method of slicing is to solids of revolution.
Solids of revolution are solids whose shapescan be generatedby revoJvingplane
regions about axes. Thread spools are solids of revolution; so are hand weights
and billiard balls. Solids of revolutign sometimeshave volumes we can find with
formulas liom geometry, as in the case of a billiard ball. But when we want to
find the volume of a blimp or to predict the weight of a part we are going to have
turned on a lathe, formulas from geometry are of little help and we tum to calculus

The WasherMethod
If the region we revolve to generate a solid does not border on or cross the axis of
revolution, the solid has a hole in it (Fig. 5.19). The cross sectionsperpendicular
to the axis of revolution ate washersinstead of disks. The dimensionsof a typical
washer are

Notice that the function integrated in Eq. (3) is t(Rz - r2), not T (R - r)'z. Also
notice that Eq. (3) gives the disk method fomula if /(jr) is zero throughout [a, r].
