Ok so I'm doing my online homework and I came across this problem:

"Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.

y=11, y=x+28/x

about x=-4"


So I attempted to use the shell method to solve this equation but I get confused on how to set up my integral. I don't really know how to tackle the region I'm integrating about (x=-4).

Are you having trouble finding the shell radius, or something else? If you could be more specific, or show your work, it would be easier to help.
