By washer method: x = ±√(2y - y2); v = π∫02{[2 + √(2y - y2)]2 - [2 - √(2y - y2)]2}dy = π∫028√(2y - y2)dy= 39.478;
By shell method: y = 1 ± √(1 - x2); v = 2π∫-11(2 - x)·2√1 - x2dx = 4π[∫-112√1 - x2dx - ∫-11x√1- x2dx] = 4π2 = 39.478
In 2nd line first integral equel π as area of circle radius 1, second integral is 0 as integral from odd function in symmetric limits. We get exact result v = 4π2

Well, do it. Draw a diagram, 3-D perspective. It should be apparent that the "washer method" employs slices along the z-axis, said slices do indeed have a washer shape (annulus). That's a single integration, the limits being the tricky part. For "disk method", I imagine that a plane including the line x=2 is rotated, so as to slice wedged discs on either side of the x=2 axis. But here, a first integration of the wedged disc must be done to calculate the effect of the greater areas swept out by the outer portions of the wedges. (Probably easier to do this across the range of x, with the y-limits being dependent.) Then, the rotational multiplication over 2pi. -- Cheers, --Mr. d.02/24/23
