You need to evaluate the volume of the solid obtained by the rotation of the region bounded by the curves $\displaystyle{y}={\left(\frac{{1}}{{4}}\right)}{{x}}^{{2}},{x}={2}$ , the line y = 0, about y axis, using washer method, such that:

$\displaystyle{V}={\int_{{a}}^{{b}}}{\left({{f}}^{{2}}{\left({x}\right)}-{{g}}^{{2}}{\left({x}\right)}\right)}{\left.{d}{x}\right.},{f{{\left({x}\right)}}}>{g{{\left({x}\right)}}}$

You need to find the next endpoint, since one of them, y = 0 is given. The other endpoint can be evaluated by solving the following equation:

$\displaystyle{2}\sqrt{{y}}={2}\Rightarrow\sqrt{{y}}={1}\Rightarrow{y}={1}$

You may evaluate the volume

$\displaystyle{V}=\pi\cdot{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\left({{2}}^{{2}}-{{\left({2}\sqrt{{y}}\right)}}^{{2}}\right)}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$

$\displaystyle{V}=\pi\cdot{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\left({4}-{4}{y}\right)}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$

$\displaystyle{V}={4}\pi\cdot{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\left({1}-{y}\right)}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$

$\displaystyle{V}={4}\pi\cdot{\left({\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}-{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{y}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}\right)}{{\mid}_{{0}}^{{1}}}$

$\displaystyle{V}={4}\pi\cdot{\left({y}-\frac{{{y}}^{{2}}}{{2}}\right)}{{\mid}_{{0}}^{{1}}}$

$\displaystyle{V}={\left({4}\pi\cdot{y}-{2}\pi\cdot{{y}}^{{2}}\right)}{{\mid}_{{0}}^{{1}}}$

$\displaystyle{V}={\left({4}\pi\cdot{1}-{2}\pi\cdot{{1}}^{{2}}-{4}\pi\cdot{0}+{2}\pi\cdot{{0}}^{{2}}\right)}$

$\displaystyle{V}={2}\pi$

Hence, evaluating the volume of the solid obtained by the rotation of the region bounded by the curves $\displaystyle{y}={\left(\frac{{1}}{{4}}\right)}{{x}}^{{2}},{x}={2},{y}={0}$ , about y axis, yields $\displaystyle{V}={2}\pi.$
