    The genrral integral is

    pi[Int x^3 dy]

    We have to convert x^3 to the (x^1/3)^2 = y^2/3 an convert the limits for 'y' which are 0, & 8

    Hence

    pi (8/0) Inty^(2/3) dy =

    .pi [y^(5/3) / (5/3) ] (8/0)

    pi [ 3y^(5/3)/ 5 ] (8/0)

    pi [3(8^(5/3)5 - 0] =

    pi [(3/5)32)]

    pi[19.2] =

    60.31.... Units^3

    Using cylindrical shells

    The region spans from x=0 to x=2 and a strip parallel to the y-axis at x has length 8 - x^3

    If the strip is of width dx, then its full rotation about the y-axis will yield a cylindrical shell of volume 2pi x (8-x^3) dx

    V = int[0 to 2] 2pi (8-x^3) x dx

    Using disks

    V = int[0 to 8] pi (y^(1/3))^2 dy
