The curves y=1xy=\dfrac{1}{x} and y=x4y=\dfrac{x}{4} enclose a region for 1≤x≤41\le x\le 4. This region is revolved about the vertical line x=−1x=-1. Choose the integration variable that allows the volume to be found with one washer integral rather than two, and state the corresponding limits of integration for that variable.
