The document discusses calculating volumes of solids of revolution. It provides examples of finding the volume when revolving common shapes around different axes, including: 1) Revolving a cone around the x-axis between a and b to get V = πr2h/3 2) Revolving a sphere of radius r around the x or y-axis to get V = 4/3πr3 3) Revolving y = x2 around the y-axis between 0 and 1 to get V = π/2 units3 It also discusses the general formulas for finding volumes of revolution around the x or y-axis. Examples are accompanied by step-by-step
