More integration using cylindrical shells

Hellacious D

The region bounded by the given curves is rotated about the y-axis.

Find the volume V of the resulting solid by any method.

Using cylindrical shells,
2pi*(the integral from 0 to 4) of (x-2)(((-x^2)+6x-8)-0)

I'm pretty sure this is wrong because the answer I get, -64pi/3 makes no sense. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

do you make a sketch of the graph before setting up the integral?

your limits of integration are incorrect, should be 2 to 4

the radius of revolution is x , not (x-2)

Factoring $$\displaystyle -(x-4)(x-2)\Rightarrow{\text{ zeros at }}x=2,4$$.

So, why do you go from 0 to 4?
