SUMMARY
The volume of the figure bounded by the equations y = 2x - x^2, y = 2x, and x = 2, when rotated about the line y = -1, is calculated using the integral V = π ∫₀² ((2x + 1)² - (2x - x² + 1)²) dx. This integral correctly represents the volume of revolution for the specified region. The discussion confirms the accuracy of the integral provided for this calculation.
