V=36π

Explanation:

Consider the line:

y=x4

For x=12 we have y=3, so we can see that rotating this line around the x-axis in the interval x(0,12) generates exactly the solid requested.

The element of volume generated by the cylindrical shell between x and x+dx is given by:

dV=πy2(x)dx=πx216dx

so, integrating over the interval:

V=π16120x2dx=π16[x33]120=36π
