Answer

$$ y=f(x)=\sqrt {1-x^{2}} $$ The function has as its graph a semicircle of radius $r=1$ with center at$(0,0)$. The volume that results when the semicircle is rotated about the x-axis is given by : $$ \begin{aligned} V &=\pi \int_{-1}^{1}(f(x))^{2} d x\\ &=\pi \int_{-1}^{1}(\sqrt{1-x^{2}})^{2} d x \\ &=\frac{4 \pi}{3}. \end{aligned} $$
