School extension: revolve y=x, 0≤x≤t, about the x-axis. Use the disk model to find volume.
- An indefinite integral includes an arbitrary constant; split at sign changes when calculating area. Revolution volumes are a school extension (T06 PDF6–10).

Worked solution
Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.
Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.
The squared radius enters disk area; integrating y alone would give area rather than volume.
