Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We can use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid. The volume of a cylindrical shell is given by the formula 2πrhΔx, where r is the radius of the shell, h is the height of the shell, and Δx is the thickness of the shell. In this case, the radius of the shell is x, the height of the shell is 4 - x^2 - x^2 = 4 - 2x^2, and the thickness of the shell is Δx. Therefore, the volume of the solid is given by the integral ∫2πx(4 - 2x^2)dx from x = 0 to x = 2. Evaluating this integral, we get the volume of the solid as 64π cubic units.
