The volume bounded by the curves x=2√y, x=0, and y=9 is calculated using the formula for volume around the y-axis. The correct integral setup is V=4π∫₀⁹ y dy, which evaluates to 162π. The initial calculation mistakenly used the wrong expression for the volume, leading to the incorrect result of 160π. The book's answer of 162π is confirmed as accurate. Understanding the proper setup for the integral is crucial for obtaining the correct volume.

Find volume bounded by
$$x=2\sqrt{y},\ \ x=0, \ \ y=9 $$
About the y axis

So..

$$\pi\int_{0}^{9}(2\sqrt{y})^2 \,dy = 160\pi$$

But the book answer is $162\pi$ ?

The book is correct...you have:

$$V=4\pi\int_0^9 y\,dy=2\pi\left(9^2-0^2\right)=162\pi$$
 
OK, I see it.
