Identify the region to be rotated: The region is bounded by the lines y = x + 4, y = 0, x = 1, and x = 5.
Determine the axis of rotation: The problem does not specify, but typically such problems involve rotation around the x-axis.
Set up the integral for the volume of the solid of revolution using the disk method: The formula is \( V = \int_{a}^{b} \pi [R(x)]^2 \, dx \), where \( R(x) \) is the distance from the curve to the axis of rotation.
For this problem, \( R(x) = x + 4 \) since the region is rotated around the x-axis. The limits of integration are from x = 1 to x = 5.
Substitute \( R(x) \) and the limits into the integral: \( V = \int_{1}^{5} \pi (x + 4)^2 \, dx \). Expand the integrand and integrate term by term to find the volume.
