The bounded area by the graph y=sqrt(x), y=x-4 and the x axis is rotated along the x axis to form a solid. Use Integration By Shells to find the Volume of the Solid.
This might help utilize the "Shell" method; https://www.khanacademy.org/math/integral-calculus/solid_revolution_topic/solid_of_revolution/v/solid-of-revolution-part-5
|dw:1435377786774:dw| This is the bounded area
Wait so how does the integral change when you rotate it around the x axis instead of y?

With "washer method"
To rotate about the y-axis, swap the roles of x and y throughout the above discussion. To rotate about a different axis, change coordinates so that the axis of rotation is one of the coordinate axes, and then do the computation.
Follow rules of "shell" and "washer" method to guide throughout finding volume
been a while, and I was never great at these so take this with a grain of salt. I believe you have to change the formulas around and integrate in terms of y. |dw:1435378239112:dw|
