1. Determine the $y$-coordinates of the intersection points and the intercepts.
When ,
For curve , when , .
For line , when , .
2. Express $x$ in terms of $y$ for both $C$ and $L$ to prepare for integration with respect to $y$.
For curve :
For line :
3. Set up the integral for the volume generated by rotating the region about the $y$-axis.
The region is bounded by on the right, and by (for ) and the -axis (for ) on the left.
The volume can be found by calculating the volume of the solid cone generated by and subtracting the solid volume generated by :
4. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the line $L$ (which forms a cone).
(Alternatively, using the cone formula: )
5. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the curve $C$, using the double angle formula.
Using the identity :
6. Subtract the volumes to find the exact final volume.
