With the method of cylindrical shells we sum up the volumes of thin cylinders.
The volume of a cylinder is
where is the height,
is the radius of a cylinder (the distance from the axis of rotation to the argument) and
is the thickness.
and
intersect at the points x=-1, y=1 and x=-1, y=1. Between x=-1 and x=1
so the height
is equal to
Also
So the volume is (remove odd functions integrating from -1 to 1)
