Volume of solid by rotating it

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.
y = x2, x = y2; about y = 1

Pradip M.

Hello Lexi,
 
The curves are y = x2 and x = y2? or y =2x and x = 2y.
Please clarify.

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
