I meant to phrase the question as, "What integral represents the volume of the solid formed by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of y =x^3, y = 1, and x = 2, about the line x = 2?"
using shells of thickness dx,
v = ∫[1,2] 2π(2-x)(x^3-1) dx
using discs of thickness dy,
v = ∫[1,8] π(2-∛y)^2 dy
v = ∫[1,2] 2π(2-x)(x^3-1) dx
using discs of thickness dy,
v = ∫[1,8] π(2-∛y)^2 dy
