How to come up with the integral for the volume of the rotation of a region bounded by curves with reference to a vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand the process of rotating a region with the x-axis and other lines parallel to it, but I keep having trouble formulating the integral of the equation representing the volume whenever the rotation is in reference with the y-axis and its meridians.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I usually do in such case is that I integrate the function with respect to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The region is bounded by the curves of:\[y=x ^{2/3}\]\[y=0\]\[x=0\]The rotation is in reference with the y-axis

draw the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TuringTest yes that's a very good idea :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It helps a lot

OpenStudy (turingtest):

thanks, it's the only one I ever use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you identify the crosssectional area
