• Method of conical shells

• Method of cubic shells

What is the basic formula for calculating volumes using the cylindrical shells method when rotating about the y-axis?

• 2π ∫ from A to B (x)(f(x) - g(x)) dx

• π ∫ from A to B (f(x)^2 - g(x)^2) dx

• π ∫ from A to B (x^2) dx

• 2π ∫ from A to B (f(x) + g(x)) dx

What function is used in the specific example discussed?

• y = cos(x^2)

• y = x^2

• y = sin(x^2)

• y = tan(x^2)
