Question
I need help

Find the volume of the solid obtained when the region bounded by the curves
y=2x-x^2 and y=x^2-2x is rotated about the y-axis.

Answer
We will use the 'shell' method : V=2π∫xf(x)dx. Our region is
composed of two semitric functions, so the area under x-axis
concerning(x^2-2x) is the same the area above the x-axis concerning
(2x-x^2). So, we can calculate the volume of the above area & multiply by 2 to get the total volume. (chick it!)
V=2π∫x(x^2-2x)dx, while x goes from 0 to 2.

I'll leave it to to proceed. Any problems, I'm here.

Alon.
