Let's find intersection:

#x=y/3 => y=(y/3)^2-4#

#y^2/9-y-4=0#

#y^2-9y-36=0#
#y^2-12y+3y-36=y(y-12)+3(y-12)=0#
#(y-12)(y+3)=0 <=> y=12 vv y=-3#

#y=x^2-4 => x=sqrt(y+4)#
#y=3x => x=y/3#

#V=pi (int_-4^12 (sqrt(y+4))^2dy - int_0^12 (y/3)^2dy)#

#V=pi (int_-4^12 (y+4)dy - int_0^12 y^2/9dy)#

#V_1=pi [y^2/2+4y]|_-4^12#

#V_1=pi (144+48-8+16)=200pi#

#V_2=pi [y^3/27]|_0^12#

#V_2=64pi#

#V=200pi-64pi = 136pi#
