I tried doing just the integration and I was totally stumped, and Wolfram-Alpha has been no help at all
Find the surface area obtained by rotating about the x-axis:
ln(sec x) for 0 < x < (pi/6)
This problem appeared on an exam I had, but all that was required was to set up the integral but not solve for it. When I asked why we didn't have to solve for that particular problem, I was told it was too difficult for the amount of time given for the exam.
I have been trying to solve it and initially started by using (1/cos x) to solve, but it was not helpful so far.
Anyone? I appreciate any help!
