Homework Statement



Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves y=0,y=sin(6x),x=6,x=0 about the axis x=−4.


Homework Equations



cylindrical method? circumference*thickness*height


The Attempt at a Solution



So I'm not sure how to write the integral when it rotates along the line x=-4 ..would it be like 2*pi*(-4+x)dx*sin(6x)? or 2*pi*(4-x)dx*sin(6x)? Or something completely different?
