help lagrangeson678 with "find the surface area swept over by the portion of the parabola 9y^2=4x lying between the lines x=0 and x=1 when revolves through 2 right angles about the x-axis

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and when it revolves at 2 rt angles? aint that 180 degress?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id say add up all the circumferences of the circles from 0 to 1 with a modified function as your radius

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really, where did you get circles from

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when you stare into the inside of a bowl, its just a bunch of circles held together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please help me work the steps for this problem, i really need some help

\[\int_{0}^{1}\ 2\pi\ [f(x)]dx\] \[\left. \pi\ [f(x)]^2\ \right]_{0}^{1}\] \[\pi\ [f(1)]^2\ - \pi\ [f(0)]^2\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we know 9y^2 = 4x ; so we solve for y. y = sqrt[(4/9)x] = (2/3) sqrt(x) \[\pi\ [f(1)]^2\ - \pi\ [f(0)]^2\] \[\pi\ [(2/3) \sqrt(1)]^2\ - \pi\ [(2/3) \sqrt(0)]^2\] \[=\frac{4\ pi}{9}\] but lets check the wolfram :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8pi/9 is the wolf means i mis typed it in here someplace

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{4pi}{3}\int_{0}^{1}\ \sqrt{x}\ dx\] \[\frac{4pi}{3} \frac{2}{3}\sqrt{x^3}\ \] \[\frac{8pi}{9} \] thats as i see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you get 4pi/3?
