Answer

$$\pi$$

Work Step by Step

The volume is given by \begin{align*} V&=2 \pi \int_{0}^{\infty}xf(x)dx\\ &=2 \pi \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}} d x\\ &= 2 \pi\lim _{R \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{R} \frac{x d x}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{2}}\\ &=2 \pi \lim _{R \rightarrow \infty} \frac{-1}{2(x^2+1)} \bigg|_{0}^{R}\\ &=2 \pi \lim _{R \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{R^{2}+1}\right)\\ &=\pi \end{align*}
