What is the surface area of the resulting figure? Can someone provide simple step by step. thanks
Surface area of revolution about the x-axis = A = 2π∫y ds from a to b = 2π∫y√(1 + (dy/dx)^2) dx from a to b.
In this problem:
A = 2π∫(3√x) * √(1 + (3/(2√x))^2) dx from 4 to 10
= 2π∫3*√(x + 9/4) dx from 4 to 10
Let z = x + 9/4 => dz = dx
The integral becomes:
= 6π∫√z dz from 25/4 to 49/4 (Changed the limits after change of variable. Basically plug the old limits into z = x + 9/4.)
= 4π*((49/4)^(3/2) - (25/4)^(3/2))
= π/2*(7^3 - 5^3) = 109π
