Answer

$$ \left( f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{4}, \quad y =0, \quad x=4 \right) $$ If $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{4} $ is nonnegative and $R$ is the region between $f(x) $ , the x-axis and $x=4 $ , from the x-intercepts we can find lower bound $a$. If $y=0 $ then $x=0 $. So, the volume of the solid formed by rotating $R$ about the x-axis is given by $$ \begin{aligned} V &=\int_{a}^{b} \pi [f(x)]^{2}dx\\ &=\pi \int_{0}^{4}\left(\frac{x^{2}}{4}\right)^{2} d x\\ &=\frac{64 \pi}{5} \\ &\approx 40.21 \end{aligned} $$
