As stated above, I will want to calculate the coordinates of the two graphs intersecting, and found them to be x=0 and x=4. However, the equation ## \pi \int_{0}^{4} (\sqrt x - x/2) ^2##seems to be wrong. Referring to my answer key, the answer was simply## \int_{0}^{4} (\sqrt x - x/2)^2## without the pi. Why is this so? Thanks
