How do you use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by #y=5e^(x)# and #y=5e^(-x)#, x = 1, about the y axis?

Slicing to cylindrical-shell elements for integration gives approximation only. Circular-annular elements are used. To be continued, in the 2nd answer.
Explanation:
See graph to see the area that revolves about y-axis ( x = 0 ).
graph{ (y-5(2.718)^x)(y - 5(2.718)^(-x))(x-1+0y)=0[0 1.1 0 13.6]}
The curves meet at A(5, 0).
They meet x = 1 at B( 1, 5 / e ) and C(1, 5e ).
Inversely, the equations are
setting limits for integration with respect to y.
The area ls divided into two parts;
Volume V =
y from 5 / e to 5
Likewise,
with y from 5 to 5 e.
Note that the integrand is the same function of y, for both.So,
with y from 5/e to 5e. Use integration by parts method.
between 5 / e and 5 e
between the limits
between the limits.
I would review my answer for corrections, if any.
The easier cylindrical-shell elements for integration,
applied to right circular cone of height 1 and base radius 1, gives
volume as
.
Continuation, for the 2nd part.
Answer:
Explanation:
between the limits y between 5 / e and 5 e. ( Use ln e = 1. )
At the upper limit, the value is
At the lower limit, this becomes
.
