With the method of cylindrical shells we sum up the volumes of thin cylinders.
The volume of a cylinder is
`2pi*r*h*dr,`
where `h` is the height, `r` is the radius of a cylinder (the distance from the axis of rotation to the argument) and `dr` is the thickness.
`y=x^2` and `y=2-x^2` intersect at the points x=-1, y=1 and x=-1, y=1. Between x=-1 and x=1 `2-x^2gtx^2,` so the height `h` is equal to `2-x^2-x^2=2(1-x^2).`
Also `r=1-x.`
So the volume is (remove odd functions integrating from -1 to 1)
`2pi int_(-1)^1 (1-x)*2(1-x^2) dx=4pi int_(-1)^1 (1-x-x^2+x^3) dx =`
`=4pi int_(-1)^1 (1-x^2) dx=8pi int_0^1 (1-x^2) dx=`
`=8pi (x-1/(3)x^3)_0^1=8pi(1-1/3)=16/3 pi.`
