Volume Calculation Using the Washer Method

The video tutorial explains how to use the washer method to calculate the volume of a solid formed by rotating a region bounded by two functions around a line parallel to the x-axis. It covers graphing the region, determining the outer and inner radii, setting up the integral with appropriate limits, and evaluating the integral to find the volume. The tutorial concludes with a calculation of the volume in cubic units.
