Could someone verify these integrals (no text:()

I got these integrals wrong on a quiz I just took. Looking back, I am not quite sure what I was thinking:/ But I have reworked them and would like know if I have the integrals set up properly; I don't need to evaluate them...just set them up:

Set up the integral to find the Volume by Cylindrical Shells of the region enclosed by y=x^2 and y=x

rotated about:

x-axis: V=2\pi\int_0^1y(\sqrt{y}-y)dy

y-axis V=2\pi\int_0^1x(x-x^2)dx

and the region enclosed by y=2-x, y=x^2 in the 1st quadrant rotated around x=3: V=2\pi\int_0^1(3-x)(2-x-x^2)dx

I know these can be simplified, but I am not concerned with that, just the concept.

Thanks,
Casey

I would really appreciate if some one could verify these.
 
all 3 are correct.
 
Thanks bob. I have an Exam on Monday!

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
