#pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y-(-4))^2-(y^2-3-(-4))^2]dy#

#=(875pi)/32#

#pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y-(-4))^2-(y^2-3-(-4))^2]dy#

#=pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y+4)^2-(y^2+1)^2]dy#

#color(red)("(FOIL both polynomials separately, then subtract)")#

#=pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[-2y^3-9y^2+8y+15]dy#

#=pi [-1/2y^4-3y^3+4y^2+15y]_(-1)^(3/2)#

#=pi [-81/32-81/8+9+45/2+1/2-3-4+15]#

#=pi(-405/32+40)#

#=(875pi)/32#

You have not evaluated the integral from 1 to 1.5.

I don't want to re-type your entire answer, but you have done the equivalent of

#int_1^2 (x^3 - x) dx = {: x^4/4 - x^2/2 ]_1^2#

And the you have gone back to

#x^3+x# but you've substituted the upper limit for only the first #x# and the lower for the second.

#2^4/4-1^2/2#.

Once you get

#V = pi[-y^5/5-(2y^3)/3 + * * * -y]_-1^1.5# you need to substitute #1.5# into every #y#, the substitute #-1# for every #y# and subtract.
