The region bounded by \(\displaystyle y=sqrt{x}\), \(\displaystyle x=4\) and the x-axis is rotated about the line x=4. Find the volume of the solid using the a) Disk Method b) Shell Method.
I have two different answer from the two different methods. I have a feeling that the shell was done correctly, but I can't be sure.
Disk
\(\displaystyle \L\ V = \pi \int_0^2 {(y^2 )^2 } dy = \frac{{32\pi }}{5}\)
Shell
\(\displaystyle \L\ V = 2\pi \int_0^4 {(4 - x)\sqrt x } dx = \frac{{256\pi }}{{15}}\)
Thanks for any assistance.
