Answer

The volume of the resulting solid is given by the following: $$ \int_{0}^{\pi} \pi\left(\sin ^{2} x\right)^{2} d x=\frac{3}{8} \pi^{2} $$

Work Step by Step

Given the curve $$ y=\sin ^{2} x $$ The volume, when the region under the curve $ y$ from $0$ to $\pi$ is rotated about the x-axis, is given by the following: $$ V =\int_{0}^{\pi} \pi\left(y\right)^{2} d x $$ Use disks about the $x$ -axis: $$ \begin{aligned} V &=\int_{0}^{\pi} \pi\left(\sin ^{2} x\right)^{2} d x\\ &=\pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin ^{4} x d x \quad\left[\begin{array}{c} \text {we look at the Table of Integrals ,we see that } \\ \text { the closest entry is number $73$ with n=4}: \end{array}\right] \\ &\stackrel{73}{=} \pi\left\{\left[-\frac{1}{4} \sin ^{3} x \cos x\right]_{0}^{\pi}+\frac{3}{4} \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin ^{2} x d x\right\} \\ & \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\left[\begin{array}{c} \text {we look at the Table of Integrals ,we see that } \\ \text { the closest entry is number $63$ }: \end{array}\right] \\ & \stackrel{63}{=} \pi\left\{0+\frac{3}{4}\left[\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{1}{4} \sin 2 x\right]_{0}^{\pi}\right\}=\pi\left[\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2} \pi-0\right)\right] \\ &=\frac{3}{8} \pi^{2} \end{aligned} $$
