How do you find the volume of the region left of y = sqrt(2x) and below y = 2 rotated about the y-axis?

The answer is V=4

y<=2 <=> 2>=sqrt(2x) <=> 0<=x<=2

So, you can use Guldino's formula for the volume of a solid of revolution:

V(f,alpha)=alphaint_Df(x)^2dx, where D is the domain of f

So here we have

V=piint_0^2 2xdx=pix^2|_0^2 =4pi
