Shell approximation of solid of revolution II

Shell approximation of solid of revolution II

The model on the left is a 3D solid created by rotating the space between y=(x-1)(x-3)^2 and the x-axis around the y-axis on [1,3]. The model in the back is an approximation of that solid made using 8 shells, while the model on the right is an approximation with 16 shells. This volume can also be calculated using a definite integral at khanacademy.org/math/integral-calculus/solid_revolution_topic/shell-method/v/shell-method-for-rotating-around-vertical-line.
