Use symmetry for a half-turn and translate the rotation axis
The region is bounded by and .
(i) Find the exact volume when is rotated through two right angles about the y-axis.
(ii) Write down the equation of the curve obtained when is translated four units in the negative y-direction. Hence find the approximate volume of the solid formed when is rotated completely about .
