I am learning how to approximate the volume of a sphere with integrals. I am confused on how $(1/3)x^3$ became $(1/3)r^3$, and why this being an even function allows you to pull a $2$ out front. Please help, many thanks

  • $$left(r^2x-dfrac13x^3right)_0^r=left(r^2times r-dfrac13(r)^3right)-left(r^2times0-dfrac13(0)^3right)$$ final answer is $dfrac43pi r^3$.

The volume is $$int_-r^r pi(r^2-x^2)dx=[pi(r^2x-tfrac13x^3)]_-r^r=tfrac4pi3r^3.$$Since the integrand is even, we could alternatively write $$int_-r^r pi(r^2-x^2)dx=int_0^r 2pi(r^2-x^2)dx=[2pi(r^2x-tfrac13x^3)]_0^r=tfrac4pi3r^3.$$

    $$F(x)|_x=0^x=r=F(r)-F(0)$$
    (by definition of the left term)



    $$f(-x)=f(x) implies int_-r^rf(x) dx=2int_0^rf(x) dx$$
    (consider the change of the lower bound too!)

      The volume of sphere is found by $$ V=2int _0^r pi (r^2-x^2) dx= 2pi int _0^r (r^2-x^2) dx$$



      When you integrate you get $$r^2x -(1/3) x^3$$ and when you evaluate from $0$ to $r$ you get $$(2/3) r^3$$



      Thus the total volume will be $$V= (4/3) pi r^3 $$
