The grey region is what we will be rotating around the horizontal line y=3.

The outer radius is 3(x26)

The inner radius is 3x

Using the method of washers

π30(3(x26))2(3x2)2dx

π30(9x2)2(3x)2dx

π308118x2+x4(96x+x2)dx

π308118x2+x49+6xx2dx

π307219x2+x4+6xdx

Integrating

π[72x193x3+x55+3x2]

π[72(3)193(3)3+355+3(3)2]

π[216171+2435+27]

π[72+2435]

π[3605+2435]=603π5
