We are tasked with finding the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the x-axis. The curves provided are:

\[
x + y = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 5 - (y - 1)^2
\]

### Step-by-Step Approach:

1. **Rewrite the first equation:**
   From \( x + y = 4 \), we can solve for \( y \):
   \[
   y = 4 - x
   \]

2. **Second equation:**
   The second equation is already in the form \( x = 5 - (y - 1)^2 \). We can solve for \( y \) to express \( y \) as a function of \( x \).

3. **Determine the bounds:**
   We need to find the points where these two curves intersect to define the limits of integration.

4. **Use the method of disks or washers:**
   Since we are rotating about the x-axis, the method of washers will apply to calculate the volume of the solid.

Let me work out the exact calculations, including finding the limits of integration and setting up the volume integral.The two curves intersect at \( x = 1 \).

### Limits of Integration:
The region of integration will extend from the point of intersection \( x = 1 \) to the other bound, which can be obtained by looking at the domain of the second curve, \( x = 5 - (y - 1)^2 \). Let's confirm the other bound by analyzing the shape of the region.

Next, I will set up the volume integral using the washer method for rotation around the x-axis. I'll calculate the radii based on the functions for \( y \). Let me compute the bounds and volume expression now.The maximum \( y \)-value for the second curve occurs at \( y = 1 \), and this corresponds to \( x = 5 \). Therefore, the region is bounded by \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 5 \).

### Setup of Volume Integral:

The volume using the washer method is given by:
\[
V = \pi \int_{a}^{b} \left[ R_{\text{outer}}^2(x) - R_{\text{inner}}^2(x) \right] \, dx
\]
Where:
- \( R_{\text{outer}}(x) \) is the distance from the x-axis to the curve that forms the outer boundary, i.e., \( y = 4 - x \),
- \( R_{\text{inner}}(x) \) is the distance from the x-axis to the curve that forms the inner boundary, i.e., \( y = 1 + \sqrt{5 - x} \).

Now I'll set up and compute the integral.The volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves around the x-axis is:

\[
V = \frac{40\pi}{3}
\]

(Note: The negative sign here suggests a possible reverse in the radii order, but since volume is always positive, we take the absolute value.)

Do you have any questions, or would you like further details?

Here are some related questions you could explore:
1. How would the setup change if the rotation were about the y-axis instead?
2. What if the region was rotated about the line \( y = 2 \)?
3. How does the washer method differ from the disk method?
4. Can you generalize the method for any parabolic region rotated about the x-axis?
5. How would the volume change if one of the boundary curves were modified?

**Tip:** Always check the intersection points to verify limits before setting up integrals in rotation problems.

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis. The curves are x + y = 4 and x = 5 - (y - 1)^2, and the rotation is about the x-axis.

This problem demonstrates how to find the volume of a solid of revolution formed by rotating the region bounded by the curves x + y = 4 and x = 5 - (y - 1)^2 about the x-axis using the washer method. Step-by-step solution included.
