Find the volume $V_y$ of the figure bounded by the lines $y=x^2,x=3,y=0$

I tried:

$$V_y=\pi \int_{0}^{3} x^4 dx=\pi \frac {3^5}{5}$$

Is this solution correct?

Your derivation is correct for the volume for the solid of revolution around the $x$ axis by disk method.

Note that, for to the volume for the solid of revolution around the $y$ axis by disk method the set up would be

$$\pi \int_{0}^{9} (9-y)\, dy$$
