Answer

$3.758\text{ uni}{{\text{t}}^{3}}$

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)={{e}^{-{{x}^{2}}}},\text{ }y=0,\text{ }x=-1,\text{ }x=1 \\ & \text{Using the disk method} \\ & V=\int_{-1}^{1}{\pi {{\left( {{e}^{-{{x}^{2}}}} \right)}^{2}}dx} \\ & \text{By symmetry} \\ & V=2\pi \int_{0}^{1}{{{e}^{-2{{x}^{2}}}}dx} \\ & \text{Integrating by a CAS }\left( \text{Wolfram Alpha Website} \right) \\ & V\approx 3.758\text{uni}{{\text{t}}^{3}} \\ \end{align}\]
