Find the volume of revolution formed by rotating the curve y = sinx 2pie around the x- axis

To solve this problem we need a formula. Integral of y2dx multiplied by pie. First we square the questions of the curve we are given (sinx)2 . Next we apply double angle formula to reduce the power so we can integrate 1/2(1-cos2x) to get 1/2x - 1/4sin2x. We would then substitute the limits into this equation to get an answer.
