Can someone review my work and see what I am doing wrong. The correct answer is 315.73pi.

Sketch a graph to estimate the x-coordinates of the points of intersection of the given curves. Then use this information to estimate the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the y-axis the region enclosed by the curves y=0 and y = -x^4+4x^3-x^2+4x

\(\displaystyle {-2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{4}{x^{2}(x^{3}-4x^{2}+x-4)}dx=\frac{4736{\pi}}{15}\)

ok, I see what I did. Thx. Also, how do you type the symbols (the integration sign, etc into the forum? What software did you use to make the pic?
 
Use Latex to make the symbols. To see, click on quote in my post. As for the picture, I done it with Maple, exported to a gif, hosted with ImageShack and copy and pasted it in my post.
