Calculus 2: Volumes of Solids of Revolution

The first-quadrant area is bounded by the curve y2=4xy^2 = 4x, the x axis, and the line x = 4 is rotated about the y axis. Find the volume generated: (a) By the ring method (b) By the shell method

Use the disk method to find the volume of the solid of rotation by rotating the bounded area around the y-axis

y=2x2y = 2x^2, y=0y = 0, x=2x = 2
