Example 2:
Find the area of the surface generated by revolving the graph off(x) =x^2 on the interval[ 0 ,√ 3 ]about they−axis
(Figure 22).
Solution:
Figure 22
Since the curve is revolved about they−axis, we apply
S=
∫d
c^2 πx
√
1 +
(dx
dy
) 2
dy.
So we writey=x^2 asx=√y. In addition, the interval on thex−axis[ 0 ,
√
3 ]becomes[ 0 , 3 ].Thus
S=
∫ 3
