Washer Method Calculus (Introduction)

This Calculus 2 video gives and introduction to the washer method for finding the volume of a solid of revolution, revolving a region about an axis with animations used to help visualize the method. When we are considering the disk method vs washer method, the main consideration is whether or not the region being revolved is in contact with the axis of revolution over the entire interval. This application of integration is commonly found in a Calculus 2 course. 0:00 Disk Method vs Washer Method 1:35 Area of a Washer 3:12 Building the Integral Formula 5:40 Important Things to Remember Washer Method Example 1 Video    • Washer Method Calculus (Example 1)   Washer Method Example 2 Video    • Washer Method Calculus (Example 2)   Houston Math Prep Calculus 2 Playlist:    • Calculus 2   Houston Math Prep YouTube:    / houstonmathprep
