To find the volume of the solid $$ S $$ generated by revolving the region $$ R $$ bounded by the curves $$ y = (x-5)^3 - 1 $$, $$ x = 0 $$, and $$ y = 7 $$ about the $$ y $$-axis, we will use both the disk/washer method and the shell method.

### Step 1: Identify the region $$ R $$

1. **Find the intersection points** of the curves $$ y = (x-5)^3 - 1 $$ and $$ y = 7 $$:
   $$
   (x-5)^3 - 1 = 7
   $$
   $$
   (x-5)^3 = 8
   $$
   $$
   x - 5 = 2 \implies x = 7
   $$

2. The region $$ R $$ is bounded by:
   - The curve $$ y = (x-5)^3 - 1 $$ from $$ x = 0 $$ to $$ x = 7 $$.
   - The vertical line $$ x = 0 $$.
   - The horizontal line $$ y = 7 $$.

### Step 2: Volume using the Disk/Washer Method

For the disk/washer method, we express $$ x $$ in terms of $$ y $$ from the equation $$ y = (x-5)^3 - 1 $$:
$$
y + 1 = (x-5)^3 \implies x - 5 = (y + 1)^{1/3} \implies x = (y + 1)^{1/3} + 5
$$

The volume $$ V $$ is given by:
$$
V = \pi \int_{y_1}^{y_2} [R(y)^2 - r(y)^2] \, dy
$$
where $$ R(y) $$ is the outer radius and $$ r(y) $$ is the inner radius. Here, $$ y_1 = -1 $$ and $$ y_2 = 7 $$.

The outer radius $$ R(y) $$ is the distance from the $$ y $$-axis to the curve, which is $$ x = (y + 1)^{1/3} + 5 $$, and the inner radius $$ r(y) $$ is $$ x = 0 $$.

Thus, the volume becomes:
$$
V = \pi \int_{-1}^{7} \left((y + 1)^{1/3} + 5\right)^2 \, dy
$$

### Step 3: Volume using the Shell Method

For the shell method, the volume $$ V $$ is given by:
$$
V = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} (radius)(height) \, dx
$$
Here, the radius is $$ x $$ and the height is given by the difference between the top curve and the bottom curve:
$$
height = 7 - ((x-5)^3 - 1) = 8 - (x-5)^3
$$

Thus, the volume becomes:
$$
V = 2\pi \int_{0}^{7} x(8 - (x-5)^3) \, dx
$$

### Step 4: Calculate the Volumes

Now, we will calculate both volumes using the defined integrals.

#### Disk/Washer Method Volume Calculation
$$
V_1 = \pi \int_{-1}^{7} \left((y + 1)^{1/3} + 5\right)^2 \, dy
$$

#### Shell Method Volume Calculation
$$
V_2 = 2\pi \int_{0}^{7} x(8 - (x-5)^3) \, dx
$$

Let's calculate both volumes.
Evaluate the integral by following steps:
- step0: Evaluate using substitution:
  $$\pi \times \int_{-1}^{7} \left(\left(y+1\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}+5\right)^{2} dy$$
- step1: Evaluate the integral:
  $$\pi \times \frac{1696}{5}$$
- step2: Multiply:
  $$\frac{\pi \times 1696}{5}$$
- step3: Multiply:
  $$\frac{1696\pi }{5}$$
Calculate the integral $$ 2\pi \int_{0}^{7} x(8 - (x-5)^{3}) \, dx $$.
Evaluate the integral by following steps:
- step0: Evaluate using formulas and rules:
  $$2\pi \times \int_{0}^{7} x\left(8-\left(x-5\right)^{3}\right) dx$$
- step1: Subtract the terms:
  $$2\pi \times \int_{0}^{7} x\left(133-x^{3}+15x^{2}-75x\right) dx$$
- step2: Multiply the terms:
  $$2\pi \times \int_{0}^{7} \left(133x-x^{4}+15x^{3}-75x^{2}\right) dx$$
- step3: Evaluate the integral:
  $$2\pi \times \frac{6517}{20}$$
- step4: Multiply the terms:
  $$\frac{6517}{10}\pi $$
- step5: Multiply:
  $$\frac{6517\pi }{10}$$
### Step 5: Results of the Volume Calculations

1. **Volume using the Disk/Washer Method**:
   $$
   V_1 = \frac{1696\pi}{5}
   $$

2. **Volume using the Shell Method**:
   $$
   V_2 = \frac{6517\pi}{10}
   $$

### Step 6: Convert to a Common Denominator

To compare the two volumes, we can convert $$ V_1 $$ to have the same denominator as $$ V_2 $$:
$$
V_1 = \frac{1696\pi}{5} = \frac{1696 \times 2\pi}{10} = \frac{3392\pi}{10}
$$

### Step 7: Compare the Volumes

Now we have:
- $$ V_1 = \frac{3392\pi}{10} $$
- $$ V_2 = \frac{6517\pi}{10} $$

Since $$ V_1 \neq V_2 $$, the results do not agree.

### Conclusion

The volumes calculated using the disk/washer method and the shell method are:
- Disk/Washer Method: $$ \frac{1696\pi}{5} $$
- Shell Method: $$ \frac{6517\pi}{10} $$

These results do not match, indicating a potential error in the setup or calculations. Further investigation into the bounds or the expressions used in the integrals may be necessary to resolve this discrepancy.
The volumes calculated using the disk/washer method and the shell method do not agree.
