Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the x-axis.

The region bounded by   and revolved about the x-axis is shown on the attached image.We may apply the Disk method using a rectangular strip perpendicular to the axis of revolution. As shown on the attached image, the thickness of the rectangular strip is "dx" with a vertical orientation perpendicular to the x-axis (axis  of revolution).

We follow the formula for the Disk method:  where disk's base area is  with .


 Note: r = length of the rectangular strip. We may apply .


 Then .


The boundary values of x are to .


Plug-in the and the boundary values to integral formula, we get: 




Simplify:




Apply basic integration property:  



Apply basic integration property: .



Apply Power rule for integration: .



Apply definite integration formula: .








or (approximated value)
