1)Figure 11.1: 0<=x<=(pie)/2
R is bounded below by the x-axis and above by the curve
y = 2cos(x), Figure 11.1. Find the volume of the solid generated by
revolving R around the y-axis by the method of cylindrical shells.

2)Figure 15.1: y= 1/(x^2+4x+5)

R is the region that lies between the curve (Figure 15.1) and the
x-axis from x = -3 to x = -1. Find:
(a) the area of R,
(b) the volume of the solid generated by revolving R around the y-axis.
(c) the volume of the solid generated by revolving R round the x-axis.
