Problem

Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded on the right by the curve x=1yx = \dfrac{1}{y}, bounded on the left by the y-axis, and bounded above and below by y=3y = 3 and y=1y = 1, respectively. This region is revolved about the y–axis. a. Part 1: (a) Identify the appropriate geometric model (disk or washer) for the cross-sections obtained by slicing perpendicular to the y–axis. Justify your choice. b. Part 2: (b) Write a single definite integral whose value equals the volume of the solid generated. Express all quantities as functions of yy. c. Part 3: (c) Evaluate the integral found in part (b) to obtain the exact volume.
