Incomplete.

    The parabola in my copy of the book is y^2=8x. The volume is the integral from 0 to 2 of (8x \pi dx) which leads to the same answer as in the book (16 \pi).

Point out an error, ask a question, offer an alternative solution (to use Latex type [latexpage] at the top of your comment):
