I've been trying to solve one of my MATLAB problems for about 2 weeks now and I am completely lost as to how to solve it. It seems like it would be rather easy to do, but I cannot figure it out.
I have referenced our Calculus 2 textbook, MATLAB textbook, and Google but I'm still stuck.
The problem says:
I tried something along the lines of:
but that doesn't work, and even if it did, I don't know where to go from that point.
Can anyone walk me through the steps? This type of problem seems quite important, and I'm worried by the fact that I can't find any help on it. I want to make sure I know how to do it in the future!
Thanks in advance :)

Code:
"The region bounded by the given curves is rotated about the specified axis.
Find the volume of the resulting solid by any method."
x[SUP]2[/SUP]+(y-1)[SUP]2[/SUP]=1
I tried something along the lines of:
Code:
syms x y
eq=(x^2)+((y-1)^2)-1
fplot(eq, [0,10])
%a=fzero(eq -blah blah etc- )
but that doesn't work, and even if it did, I don't know where to go from that point.
