I assume that the curves are y=x2 and x=y2. Intersections of the curves f(x)=x2 and g(x)=√x are points (0, 0) and (1, 1). When revolving around line y=1, the volume of revolution is calculated as
V=π∫01[(f(x)-1)2-(g(x)-1)2]dx=
=π∫01[(x2-1)2-(√x-1)2]dx=π∫01(x4-2x2-x+2√x)dx=
=π(1/5-2/3-1/2+4/3)=11/30

Why did you subtract by 1 in the first step?

Yea, why did you subtract by 1 and not the other way around?

You could go other way around as well. Meaning, you can substract 1 from each curve or subtract the curve from 1. What you are trying to do is find the region/radius enclosed by y= 1 and y = other two curves. It won't matter which way you go, but be consistent with both curves. At the end, you are squaring the terms anyway to get area= pi* radius^2. All you are trying to get is radius first
