Answer

$\text{Thus, the volume is}$ \begin{align} V = \frac{16}{15} \end{align}

Work Step by Step

$\text{It is given that}$ \begin{align} x = 1 -y^2 \end{align} $\text{The intersections with y axis:}$ \begin{align} 1-y^2 = 0 \Rrightarrow y = \pm 1 \end{align} $\text{To find the volume, we have to find the area of the cross section.}$ $\text{It is given that the cross section is squre, therefore:}$ \begin{align} A(y) = (1-y^2)^2 = 1 - 2y^2+y^4 \end{align} $\text{Thus, the volume is}$ \begin{align} V = \int_{-1}^{1} A(y) \ dy =& \int_{-1}^{1} (1 - 2y^2+y^4) \ dy = \left[ y-2\frac{y^3}{3} +\frac{y^5}{5}\right]_{-1}^1 = \\ & = 2 - \frac{4}{3} +\frac{2}{5} = \frac{16}{15} \end{align}
