Answer

The integral describes the volume of solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by $f(y)= y^2,\ \ g(y)= y^4,\ \ y=0, \ y=1\ $ about the $y$-axis.

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \pi \int_{0}^1 (y^4-y^8) dy$$ Compare the integral with $$V= \int_a^b (f^2(y)-g^2(y))dy $$ We get $$f (y)= y^2 ,\ \ g(y)= y^4,\ \ \ a= 0,\ \ b=1 $$ The integral describes the volume of solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by $f(y)= y^2,\ \ g(y)= y^4,\ \ y=0, \ y=1\ $ about the $y$-axis.
