Problem

Region WW is bounded on the left by the parabola x=y2x = y^{2}, on the right by the vertical line x=4x = 4, above by the horizontal line y=3y = 3, and below by the xx–axis. The region is revolved about the vertical line x=6x = 6. (a) Write a definite integral with respect to yy that gives the exact volume of the solid formed by revolving WW about x=6x = 6. Clearly specify the limits of integration and the expressions for both the outer and inner radii. (b) Evaluate the integral obtained in part (a) to find the exact volume.
