vosor(f, x, a, b)
- f is an expression in terms of x
- x is a variable name
- a is the x-value of the starting point
- b is the x-value of the ending point
Returns the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the graph of f between x = a and x = b around the x-axis.
Example
\(f(x) = \dfrac{x}{1+x^3}\). Find the value of \(a\) such that the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the graph of \(f(x)\) between \(x=0\) and \(x=a\) around the \(x\)-axis equals the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the graph of \(f(x)\) between \(x=a\) and \(x=3\) around the \(x\)-axis.
