Long ago, these four calculus topics lived in
harmony.
Then everything changed when the AP Exam
attacked. Only the Calcatar, master of all
four topics, could stop it, but when the
class needed him the most, he vanished.
A school year has passed and my friend and
I have discovered the new Calcatar, you.
And although your calc-bending skills are
great, you have a lot to learn before you
can ace the test. But we believe you can

Archimedes
(287 BC – 212 BC)
Eureka! Born in Syracuse, Sicily, then a Greek citystate, Archimedes was not only an inventor of many
important devices including the water screw for raising
water to irrigate the fields, but he was also an important
figure in the world of mathematics throughout his life.
Probably most famous for discovering mass
displacement with water in a bathtub, Archimedes has
had many other great accomplishments in mathematics.
Although his method to find the volume of a curve
revolved around an axis- originally called “Method of
Exhaustion”- is now outdated, its great effects on
integral calculus are still evident today.
Real World Application
The measurement of volume is necessary in every aspect of life, but
standard volume equations only encompass standard shapes- spheres, cubes,
pyramids, etc. Volume of solid revolution allows mathematicians to find the
volume of obscure objects using equations and actual measurements. This
technique is extended with the “washer method”- an equation used to find
the volume of a solid with a portion cut out of the center. Moreover, the arc
length equation allows for the ability to find the length, and ultimately the
surface area- of a complex curve and shape within certain bounds which is
useful in real life to find the length and surface area of an object too big for
physical measurement- such as a planet.

Volume of Solid Revolution
Steps:
1.Area Between Two Curves
In order to calculate the volume of a curve revolved around an axis, it is necessary to
generate the area between the curve and the x-axis or- in the case of the washer
method- the area between two different curves. The way to do this is create a
representative rectangle, a rectangle with the height βˆ†x and the height of the top curve
f(x) and the bottom curve g(x), and take the integral of the f(x)-g(x) on the interval
[a,b].

𝒇 𝒙 − π’ˆ 𝒙 𝒅𝒙

2.Axis of Revolution
One of the most important parts of this calculation is knowing where the axis of
revolution, or the line the area is revolved around, is. This is because the
location of the axis revolution determines the equation needed to solve the
problem which will be shown later. The axis of revolution can either be a
vertical or horizontal line anywhere on the coordinate plane.
3.
The Bounds
The bounds of the problem are determined by the equation and axis of
revolution. If the axis of revolution is horizontal the bounds will be xcoordinates. Imagine placing CDs on a self next to one another from left to right,
eventually filling the entire shelf with volume; this is essentially what you are
doing with disks of volume with radius f(x)-g(x) and width βˆ†x. If the axis of
revolution is vertical the bounds will be y-coordinates. In this case, finding the
volume is like stacking CDs on top of one another from the ground, or a, to a
certain height, b. The bounds could also be determined if two separate curves
intersect at two different points and that area is then revolved around an axis.

Equations

𝒂
1.Horizontal Axis of Revolution
This equation makes sense because when finding the area of a disk
with the miniscule width of βˆ†x, the equation is πœ‹π‘Ÿ 2 , and in this
case r is equal to the length between the curve and the axis of
revolution.
2.Vertical Axis of Revolution
When finding the volume of solid revolved around a vertical axis,
you must convert the equation into terms of y because now you are
stacking disks and integrating in terms of y.
*Remember*: The representative rectangles should be perpendicular to the
axis of revolution.
For example: Find the volume of 𝑦 = π‘₯ 2 rotated about the y-axis bounded by
the x-axis and y=5.
𝑦 = π‘₯ 2 must be rewritten as π‘₯ = 𝑦

Washer Method
Washer Method is a technique used to find the volume of solids with holes formed
when the axis of revolution is not touching the area that is being revolved. The
general form is:
𝒃
π’š=𝝅
([𝑹 𝒙 ]𝟐 −[𝒓 𝒙 ]𝟐 )𝒅𝒙
𝒂
Where R(x) is the outer radius from the axis of revolution to the top or left-most
curve, and r(x) is the inner radius from the axis of revolution to the bottom or rightmost curve of the bounded area. These radii can be represented as two
representative rectangles labeled with their respective curves.
Arc Length
𝒃
𝟏 + [𝒇′ 𝒙 ]𝟐 𝒅𝒙
𝒔=
𝒂
This equation for arc length can only be used if f(x) is a smooth, continuous
function. It essentially calculates the length of tiny secant lines with a width of dx
from a to b.
Surface Area
Surface area is the arc length of a curve revolved around an axis, so, like arc length,
the curve must be smooth, continuous, and therefore differentiable everywhere
within the bounds. When finding the surface area of a curve revolved around an
axis, you are actually finding the surface area of tiny frustums with the equation
πœ‹ π‘Ÿ1 + π‘Ÿ2 𝑙 which becomes 2πœ‹π‘Ÿπ‘™ where l is the length of the secant line to the
curve.
Revolved Around a Horizontal Axis:

𝑺 = πŸπ…

𝒂
where r(x)=f(x)
Revolved Around a Vertical Axis:
𝒃
𝐒 = πŸπ›‘
𝒙 𝟏 + [𝒇′ 𝒙 ]𝟐 𝒅𝒙
𝒂
When finding surface area of a curve revolved around a vertical axis, “x” must always be
included in the integral because this is the changing radius between the axis of revolution and the
curve. It can also be manipulated and written in terms of y where “x” would be r(y) and dx would
be dy. Since arc length can be written in terms of y or x, we translate it into terms of x because
this is a more convenient way to think of equations.

AP Conceptual
1.
While trying to escape from Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai who are chasing them
with a tank through the Earth Kingdom, Team Calcatar has been riding Appa
nonstop for days. Appa is tired, so Aang lets him walk part of the way. He
walks from x=0 to x=21.715 ft, but with Azula closing in quickly, they are
forced to fly starting from x=21.715 ft modeled by the equation
𝑦 = −.25 π‘₯ − 50 2 + 200 but has to make a crash-landing at x=78.294 ft. He
walks once again until he reaches a large river at x=200. Set up but do not
integrate the equation to find the distance of Appa’s path.

Before arriving at an answer, you must gather all of the information necessary
to plug into the arc length general form. This includes the bounds- which are
given in this instance- and the derivative of the function of the curve you are
trying to find the arc length of.
If you have correctly taken the derivative it should be a form of:
𝑦 ′ = −.5 π‘₯ − 50

the Fire Nation Army. Find the volume of the funnel generated when R is
revolved around the x-axis.
Explanation:
1) First determine the axis of revolution. We know that the representative
rectangles must be perpendicular to this, and since it is the x-axis the rep recs
must be vertical.
2) Then, calculate the bounds of the integral. This is determined by either a
boundary line given in the problem or where the two curves intersect. In this
case the bounds are π‘₯ = −1 and π‘₯ = −4.
