Find the exact area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis.

Solution

Sure, but you haven't provided the equation of the curve that needs to be rotated about the x-axis. The general formula for the surface area of a curve y = f(x), a ≤ x ≤ b, rotated about the x-axis is given by:

A = 2π ∫ from a to b [f(x) * sqrt(1 + (f'(x))^2)] dx

Where:

  • A is the surface area
  • f(x) is the function
  • f'(x) is the derivative of the function
  • a and b are the limits of the integral, representing the interval on the x-axis over which the function is defined and rotated.

Please provide the specific function and the interval [a, b] so I can help you calculate the exact area.
