Rotate an inverse-tangent region about the y-axis

Find the exact volume of the solid formed when the region bounded by y=tan⁡−1xy=\tan^{-1}x, the y-axis and y=π/4y=\pi/4 is rotated through 360∘360^\circ about the y-axis.

CJC · Lecture · Example 15

The Teacher adds the π/4 boundary and shading, boxes x=tan y and writes 1+tan²y=sec²y. These distinct notes are integrated into the radius choice, sketch and exact evaluation.

Use radians and preserve the exact inverse-tangent boundary.
