Finding volume of a washer via integration
Objective: Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. Sketch the region, the solid, and a typical disk or washer.
y = x 2 , x = y 2 ; rotated about y = 1.
I know how to sketch the graph. I assumed the integral would be:
π 0 1 [ ( x 2 ) 2 ( x ) 2 ] d x
I checked the solution and it's actually:
π 0 1 [ ( 1 x 2 ) 2 ( 1 x ) 2 ] d x
I know this must have something to do with the rotation about y = 1 but that's it. Would the integral be:
π 0 1 [ ( 1 + x 2 ) 2 ( 1 + x ) 2 ] d x
if I were to rotate it by y = 1? All answers will be appreciated.

The common ratio is simply the number that each number is being multiplied by to find the next term.
For example, when the sequence goes 4,12, 4 is being multiplied by 3.
When the sequence goes from 12 to 36, 12 is being multiplied by 3.
This is true for the entire sequence.
The term following 108 will be 108 × 3 = 324
The term proceeding 4 will be 4 3 since 4 3 × 3 = 4
