Solid of rotation volume by disks of area under the curve.

Diagram illustrating the formation of a solid of revolution by rotating a function y=f(x) around the x-axis, including a segmented view showing the disk method used to calculate the volume of the resulting solid.

This illustration demonstrates the process of creating a solid of revolution by rotating a function around the x-axis, a concept frequently explored in calculus textbooks. The images provide visual insight into the formation of three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional curves using the disk method for volume calculation.
