, then the surface area of the surface
obtained by rotating C about the x-axis is given by S, where
This is just a change of variables problem!
Yes, that's right: this is just about change of variable. We start with our old
formulas: for example, if f' is continuous on [a,b], then the length of the
curve y=f(x), , is
Now, suppose that x and y are given parametrically, as x=f(t) and y=g(t). Then
where and
. (Note: since
must
exist, x is travelling from left to right or from right to left, and doesn't
stop; that is,
).
