Volume is 1817π

Explanation:

To find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves y=x3, the x-axis and the lines x=1 and x=2 turn around the x-axis,

we need to find area of the curve under the curve y=x3, between x=1 and x=2.

As the same is rotated around x-axis, we will get the volume of the desired solid.

Hence this volume is 21π(x3)2dx

= 21πx6dx

= π[x77]21

= π{277177}=127π7=1817π
