Beyond the Answer
To calculate the volume formed by rotating the specified region about the \( y \)-axis, we need to find the points of intersection between the two curves \( x = 9y \) and \( y^3 = x \). Setting them equal gives us \( y^3 = 9y \), leading to \( y(y^2 - 9) = 0 \). The solutions are \( y = 0 \) and \( y = 3 \). The volume \( V \) can be calculated using the method of cylindrical shells or washers. Using the washer method, we find the volume with the integral \( V = \pi \int_{0}^{3} [(9y)^2 - (y^3)^2] \, dy \). Evaluating this integral will give you the correct volume, and it should be positive, unlike the \( V = -\frac{\pi}{2} \) you've mentioned, which seems to be an error. Remember that when dealing with volumes, a negative value typically indicates a miscalculation. Always double-check your integral setup and bounds!
