Use this tool to calculate the volume between two curves efficiently and accurately.
Volume Between Curves Calculator
This calculator computes the volume generated by rotating the region between two curves around the x-axis.
How to Use:
- Enter the first function (f(x)) in the Function 1 field.
- Enter the second function (g(x)) in the Function 2 field.
- Enter the lower limit (a) and upper limit (b) for the integral.
- Click “Calculate” to get the result in the Result field.
How it Works:
The calculator uses numerical integration to compute the volume. It essentially calculates the integral of π[(f(x))^2 – (g(x))^2] from a to b. For more precision, this calculator uses the trapezoidal rule for numerical integration.
Limitations:
- The functions should be continuous and integrable within the limits.
- Complex functions may not be accurately computed due to numerical methods.
