Answer

$8 \pi$

Work Step by Step

The shell method to compute the volume of a region: The volume of a solid obtained by rotating the region under $y=f(x)$ over an interval $[m,n]$ about the y-axis is given by: $V=2 \pi \int_{m}^{n} (Radius) \times (height \ of \ the \ shell) \ dy=2 \pi \int_{m}^{n} (x) \times f(x) \ dx$ Now, $V=2\pi \int_{0}^{2} (x) [6-(x^2+2)] \ dx \\ = 2\pi \int_0^2 x(4-x^2) \ dx \\=2\pi [2x^2-\dfrac{x^4}{4}]_0^2 \\ = 2\pi (8-4) \\ =8 \pi$
