Refer to the Mathematica v9 item attached.
@robtobey, did you use the washer method for your solution? It looks like you did.
Yes. A disk as a matter of fact. By the way:\[\int\limits \pi \cos ^2(x)^2 \, dx=\pi \left(\frac{3 x}{8}+\frac{1}{4} \sin (2 x)+\frac{1}{32} \sin (4 x)\right) \]
@robtobey, thank you!
For the revolution around y=1, I think we need to subtract the integral from the volume of the cylinder.
