We need to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the given curves and lines around the x-axis using the shell method.

Given:

• $y = \sqrt{x}$
• $y = 0$
• $y = \frac{x - 11}{10}$

Shell Method Overview:

The shell method for calculating volume revolves around the x-axis, with the formula for the volume given as: [ V = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} y \cdot [\text{radius}] \cdot [\text{height}] , dy ]

However, since the problem revolves around the x-axis, and the curves are given in terms of $y$, we need to re-express the boundaries of $x$ as a function of $y$.

Steps to Solve:

1. Express $x$ in terms of $y$ for each curve:

   • From $y = \sqrt{x}$: $x = y^2$
   • From $y = \frac{x - 11}{10}$: $x = 10y + 11$

2. Identify the limits of integration by equating the two expressions for $x$: $y^2 = 10y + 11 \implies y^2 - 10y - 11 = 0$ Solve this quadratic equation to find the intersection points in terms of $y$.

3. Set up the integral using the formula for volume by shells around the x-axis.
