To sketch the region bounded by ( y = \sqrt{x} ) and ( 0 \leq x \leq 4 ), first plot the graph of ( y = \sqrt{x} ) for ( 0 \leq x \leq 4 ). This graph is a half of the parabola opening to the right, starting from the origin and extending to ( x = 4 ).
a) Rotation about the x-axis: Sketch the region and imagine rotating it around the x-axis. This generates a solid with a cylindrical shape, which has a hole in the center.
To find the volume of this solid, integrate the function ( \pi (y^2) ) with respect to ( x ) from ( x = 0 ) to ( x = 4 ). [ V_x = \int_0^4 \pi (\sqrt{x})^2 , dx ]
b) Rotation about the y-axis: Sketch the region and imagine rotating it around the y-axis. This creates a solid resembling a bowl or a dome.
To find the volume of this solid, integrate the function ( \pi (x^2) ) with respect to ( y ) from ( y = 0 ) to ( y = \sqrt{4} = 2 ). [ V_y = \int_0^2 \pi x^2 , dy ]
Solve the integrals to find ( V_x ) and ( V_y ) to determine the volumes of the two solids.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
