Explanation:
With a problem like this, it is always a good idea to start with a graph.
We are going to rotate this shape around the
We can find our area function by stacking a bunch of circles of radius
Now that we have an area function, we just need to integrate it from the
Plug in the area function.
Move the
Solve the integral.
