Answer

The integral describes the volume of solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by $f(y)= 1-y^2,\ \ y=-1, \ y=1 x=0 $ about the $y$-axis.

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \pi \int_{-1}^1 (1-y^2)^2 dy$$ Compare the integral with $$V= \int_a^b f^2(y)dy $$ We get $$f^2(y)= 1-y^2,\ \ \ a= -1,\ \ b=1 $$ The integral describes the volume of solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by $f(y)= 1-y^2,\ \ y=-1, \ y=1 x=0 $ about the $y$-axis.
