method: find the volume of the whole solid, then subtract the volume of the cylinder.
Volume of whole solid
= pi(integral)(1/x^4 + 5)^2 dx from 2 to 9
= pi[-1/(7x^4) - 10/(3x^3 + 25x] from 2 to 9
which came out to 551.077
the volume of the cylinder is
pi(5^2)(7) = 549.779
so the volume of the shape you described is 1.298
not too sure about my arithmetic.
