A hint to get started

Choose the outer radius after rewriting in terms of y

Find the value of the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region between y=x2y=x^2 and y=x3y=x^3 about the y-axis.

CJC · Lecture · Example 18

The Teacher supplies the otherwise blank sketch/working, labels the rewritten cubic root as f(y) and square root as g(y), and fills the difference-of-squares integral. All are integrated into the radius comparison and reconstructed figure.

The final Teacher summary distinguishes x-axis y²dx, y-axis x²dy and translated axes; retain the matching variable, bounds and radius in each setup.
