find the volume generated by rotating the region bounded by \(y^2 - x^2 = 1\) and y = 2 about the x - axis
i got \(2\sqrt 3 \pi\) but my book says \(4 \sqrt 3 \pi\) o.O

the equation i used is \[2\pi \int_0^2 y(\sqrt{y^2 - 1}) dy\]
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
using disk or washer method would be easier here
cross-sections are rings with outer radius of 2, inner radius of y
\[V = \pi \int\limits_{-\sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}}2^{2} -(\sqrt{1+x^{2}})^{2} dx = \pi \int\limits_{-\sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}}(3-x^{2}) dx\]
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
oh i just noticed something, in the limits of your integral....it should be from 1 to 2 not 0 to 2
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
why 1??
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
oh wait...it's the graph isnt it

because 1 is vertex of hyperbola
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
(0,1) i should say
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
did that come from the drawing of the graph? i drew it wrong?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
oh yeah lol i drew it wrong :p
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
well the answer to my equation is still \(2\pi\)

i mean \(2\sqrt 3 \pi\)
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
ahh i got it...the height should be 2x or 2sqrt(y^2-1)
