Ran in:
The question is now a year old, so I'll show how to solve it. @Mukesh chose to work with a different domain than the question asks in the title. While that seems surprising, the problem as posed in the subject title does not have a finite solution.
A surface of revolution of the function y(x), bounded by x==0 and x==2, revolving around the x axis.
syms x
y(x) = 4/x^2 + 4
y(x) = 
fplot(y,[0,2])
ylim([0,100])
I've chopped it off at y==100 there. The first question is to know if it is integrable at all. We can get a clue by this computation, merely finding the area under that curve. As you can see, the tail as x--> 0 is too heavy, so we would expect the volume to also be unbounded.
int(y,[0,2])
ans = 
∞
How would we compute the volume inside that surface of revolution? Thw simple way is to view this as a set of infinitessimally thin circles, with center at y==0, and with radius y(x). The area of each circle is just pi*y(x)^2. Then just integrate from x==0 to x==2.
int(pi*y^2,x,[0,2])
ans = 
∞
And, as expected, we get an infinite volume. That suggests, that @Mukesh was possibly correct in the comment where the function y(x)=4/(x^2+4) was assumed, even though that is NOT mathematically what was written. (SIGH.) If we do that, the region of interest is now:
y2(x) = 4/(x^2+4)
y2(x) = 
fplot(y2,[0,2])
ylim([0,1])
Clearly the surface generated by revolving that curve around the x axis will be finite.
int(pi*y2^2,x,[0,2])
ans =
