The shaded region in the graph is bounded by the parabola x = y 2 4 x=y^2-4 and the line x = 3 y . x=3y.

Find the volume of the solid generated when the shaded region is rotated about the y y -axis.

If the required volume is expressed as V π , V\pi, then give your answer as V . V.

{ x = y 2 4 x = 3 y \begin{cases} x=y^2-4\\x=3y\end{cases}

y 2 4 = 3 y \therefore y^2-4=3y

y 2 3 y 4 = 0 y^2-3y-4=0

( y 4 ) ( y + 1 ) = 0 (y-4)(y+1)=0

y = 4 y=4 or y = 1 y=-1

When y = 4 , x = 12 y=4,x=12

When y = 1 , x = 3 y=-1,x=-3

y 2 4 = x y^2-4=x

When x = 0 x=0 ,

y 2 4 = 0 y^2-4=0

y 2 = 4 y^2=4

y = 2 y=2 or y = 2 y=-2

We denote that the area of g r e e n \textcolor{#20A900}{green} region is the reflection of the b l u e \textcolor{#3D99F6}{blue} region in the second quadrant.

Notice that the p u r p l e \textcolor{#69047E}{purple} region is the overlapping region between the b l u e \textcolor{#3D99F6}{blue} and g r e e n \textcolor{#20A900}{green} region in the first quadrant.
