63 00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:37,219 Let's just rederive it, but this time we'll use 64 00:02:37,219 --> 00:02:38,609 a specific equation. 65 00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:41,710 So we just have to figure out what is the volume of one disk 66 00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:43,420 and then sum up all the disks. 67 00:02:43,419 --> 00:02:47,969 So let's say this disk right here-- actually let's just take 68 00:02:47,969 --> 00:02:50,090 this disk at the end point right here that I've already 69 00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,849 drawn something for. 70 00:02:52,849 --> 00:02:56,500 So what's the radius of this disk? 71 00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:59,330 The radius of that disk is f of x at that point. 72 00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:03,830 Well f of x at that point is just square root of x. 73 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:07,740 Radius is equal to square root of x. 74 00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:17,870 And so the area of that disk is going to equal pi r squared. 75 00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:20,830 Well the radius is square root of x, so it equals pi times 76 00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:22,540 square root of x squared. 77 00:03:22,539 --> 00:03:26,439 So it equals pi times x. 78 00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,829 That's the area of each disk. 79 00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:32,860 And then if we want the volume, you just have to multiply the 80 00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:36,550 area of that surface times the depth of the disk. 81 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:37,870 I'm just trying to show. 82 00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:39,530 You can imagine that this is kind of like a quarter and this 83 00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:40,599 is the side of the quarter. 84 00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:43,590 85 00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,729 We saw in the last video that depth, that's just a very 86 00:03:46,729 --> 00:03:50,709 small change in x, because we want each disk to be 87 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:53,540 infinitesimally thin. 88 00:03:53,539 --> 00:03:57,719 So the width is just dx at any point. 89 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:03,550 So the volume of each disk is equal to the area, which we 90 00:04:03,550 --> 00:04:10,305 just figured out was pi x times the depth, times dx. 91 00:04:10,305 --> 00:04:12,189 That's the volume of each disk. 92 00:04:12,189 --> 00:04:17,620 So the total volume is going to be equal to the 93 00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:18,840 sum of all of these. 94 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,469 That was one disk I drew, then you're going to have another 95 00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:22,980 one here, you're going to have another one here, 96 00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:23,610 another one here. 97 00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:25,100 You're going to have infinitely many, and you want them to be 98 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,250 super, super, super thin so that you get an accurate 99 00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:30,120 measure of the exact volume of this curve. 100 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,889 Otherwise it would just be an approximation, and that's 101 00:04:31,889 --> 00:04:33,329 where we use the integral. 102 00:04:33,329 --> 00:04:34,899 So it will be the integral from. 103 00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:41,169 And my original boundaries were 0 to 1. 104 00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:43,600 The disk we used as an example, this is probably you know the 105 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,290 last disk, so this one will actually have a radius of the 106 00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:52,250 square root of 1, which is 1. 107 00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:54,839 Not that you have to know that, I'm just trying to keep 108 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,729 emphasizing the visualization. 109 00:04:57,730 --> 00:04:59,240 So what will be the integral? 110 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,500 Well we're going to go from 0 to 1, and we're going to sum up 111 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:05,819 a bunch of these disks, which we've already defined, 112 00:05:05,819 --> 00:05:09,529 so it's pi x dx. 113 00:05:09,529 --> 00:05:13,009 This is looking to be a fairly straightforward integral. 114 00:05:13,009 --> 00:05:14,300 So what's the integral of that? 115 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:20,400 116 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:25,669 Pi is just a constant and the antiderivative of x is x to 117 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:27,525 the 1/2 over-- I'm sorry. 118 00:05:27,524 --> 00:05:30,149 119 00:05:30,149 --> 00:05:31,794 It's x squared over 2. 120 00:05:31,795 --> 00:05:34,980 121 00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:36,840 I've been a little rusty since I last did some 122 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,409 antiderivatives. 123 00:05:38,410 --> 00:05:45,330 So we get x squared, we get pi times x squared over 2. 124 00:05:45,329 --> 00:05:48,419 125 00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:50,460 That's the antiderivative of that. 126 00:05:50,459 --> 00:05:53,536 And then we have to evaluate it at 1 and then subtract 127 00:05:53,536 --> 00:05:56,009 it and evaluate it at 0. 128 00:05:56,009 --> 00:05:58,860 And so what do we have. 129 00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:07,960 We get 1/2 pi, so we get pi over 2 minus 0 pi, minus 0. 130 00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:11,949 So it equals pi over 2. 131 00:06:11,949 --> 00:06:12,509 There we go. 132 00:06:12,509 --> 00:06:17,610 We just figured out the volume of this cup from 0 to 1. 133 00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:19,730 Reasonably interesting. 134 00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:23,210 Let's see if we can do that again to figure out the-- just 135 00:06:23,209 --> 00:06:28,879 to give you another example, just hit the point home-- to 136 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:30,459 see if we can figure out the volume of a sphere, 137 00:06:30,459 --> 00:06:33,339 the equation for the volume of a sphere. 138 00:06:33,339 --> 00:06:36,479 So what's the equation for a circle? 139 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:43,770 It's x squared plus y squared is equal to r squared. 140 00:06:43,769 --> 00:06:46,539 And let's write that in terms of y is a function of x, just 141 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:48,530 so we have something that we can work with the 142 00:06:48,529 --> 00:06:49,259 way we learned it. 143 00:06:49,259 --> 00:06:59,300 So we get y squared is equal to r squared minus x squared, and 144 00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:09,600 then we get y is equal to the square root of r squared 145 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,379 minus x squared. 146 00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:15,920 Actually now that I realize it, I'm going to not do this, 147 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,910 because I think I'm going into too complicated a problem. 148 00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:21,910 I did that on a fly. 149 00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:25,040 But in the next video I will do slightly more complicated 150 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,640 without going to this one, because I probably don't have 151 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,099 time for it I just realized. 152 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:29,350 Anyway I'll see you in the next video. 153 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:30,650
