How do you find the volume bounded by y^2=x^3-3x^2+4y2=x33x2+4 & the lines x=0, y=0 revolved about the x-axis?

= 4 pi=4π

Explanation:

It's this

enter image source here

but bounded in the first quadrant

A small element of width delta xδx and reaching from x-axis to the curve will have height yy

And so will have volume, when revolved about x-axis, of delta V = pi y^2 delta xδV=πy2δx

So we can say that

V = pi int_0^2 y^2 dxV=π20y2dx

= pi int_0^2 x^3-3x^2+4 dx=π20x33x2+4dx

= pi [ x^4/4-x^3+4x ]_0^2=π[x44x3+4x]20

= 4 pi=4π
