Disk Method Volume of the Solid y = sqrt(16 - x^2), x = 0, y = 0, about y-axis

TL;DR

Calculate volume using disk method for solid of revolution around the Y-axis.

Transcript

in this video we're being asked to find the volume of the solid of Revolution so we're basically going to take this region here and rotate it about the Y AIS so before we draw our official picture let's think about this equation here if we Square both sides of this we end up with y^2 = 16 - x^2 and if we add x^2 to both sides we end up with x^2 + y...
