Review AP Calculus AB 8.9 by translating a region into a cross-sectional area or radius expression and integrating for volume.

Exam points

The graph above represents the curve C, given by $f(x)=\frac{6}{\sqrt[3]{2 x+5}}$ for

$-2 \leq x \leq 11$ .

generated when R is rotated around the x-axis.

Then

\begin{aligned} \Delta V & =\pi r^{2} \Delta x=\pi y^{2} \Delta x=\pi\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt[3]{2 x+5}}\right)^{2} \Delta x, \text { so } \\ V & =\pi \int_{-2}^{11} \frac{36}{(2 x+5)^{2 / 3}} d x \end{aligned}
