hey sorry for all the questions but having a problem

'Calculate the volume of the solid generated when the region in the first quadrant bounded by the curved y = e^x, the line x = IN 2 and the coordinate axis, is rotated about the x-axis

First of all, these would have been better put in one single thread, even as seperate posts.
I'm guessing IN 2=ln 2 ie log<sub>e</sub> 2


V=&pi;&int; y<sup>2</sup> dx

y=e<sup>x</sup>
&there4;
y<sup>2</sup>=(e<sup>x</sup>)<sup>2</sup>
=e<sup>2x</sup>

V=&pi;<sup>ln 2</sup><sub>0</sub>&int;e<sup>2x</sup> dx
=&pi;[1/2*e<sup>2x</sup>]<sup>ln 2</sup><sub>0</sub>
=&pi;/2[e<sup>2x</sup>]<sup>ln 2</sup><sub>0</sub>
=&pi;/2[e<sup>2ln2</sup>-e<sup>0</sup>]
=&pi;/2[e<sup>ln2<sup>2</sup></sup>-e<sup>0</sup>]
=&pi;/2[e<sup>ln4</sup>-e<sup>0</sup>]
=&pi;/2[4-1]
=3&pi;/2 units<sup>3</sup>

Meh cant be bothered checking the working too much code in the way so I hope it's right :)
