Answer

$2.2532$

Work Step by Step

a) Given $$y= \tan x,\ \ \ x=0,\ \ x=\pi/4,\ \ \ \text{about} \ \ x =\pi/2 $$ Since the volume of the generated solid given by \begin{aligned} V&=2\pi \int_a^b r(x)h(x)dx \end{aligned} Here $$ r(x) = \frac{\pi}{2}- x,\ \ \ \ \ h(x) = \tan x $$ Then \begin{aligned} V&=2\pi \int_a^b r(x)h(x)dx\\ &= 2\pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)\tan xdx \end{aligned} b) Using calculator, we get \begin{aligned} V &= 2\pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)\tan xdx \\ &\approx 2.2532 \end{aligned}
