determine the area of the region bounded by the grpahs of x=y-y^3, y=0,x=1,y=1, rotated about y=1; using cylyndrical shells



avegage radius y, altitude=x=y-y^3, y intercepts 0 ,1 ?

0 and 1 are the y intercepts, yes. Why don't you try and actually solve the problem? Are you sure they want you to find area, not volume?
 
Three questions:
What work have you done?
Have you graphed the region?
What is the exact problem? Since you said that a region is to be rotated about the line y = 1, it would appear that you want the volume of this solid of rotation rather than the area of some region.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
