    Finding volume of revolution for y = 1/x rotated about the x-axis

    since it's divided by 1, isn't it negative n =x^-2

    Finding volume of revolution for y = 1/x rotated about the x-axis

    \int^{1}_{2} \pi [\frac{1}{x}]^2 dx if you help me with this problem, i am sure i will get the rest of the problems.

    Finding volume of revolution for y = 1/x rotated about the x-axis

    [SOLVED] volumes... last week of calc i was absent when we went over the volume section. y= 1/x, x= 1, x= 2, y= 0,; about the x-axis \int^{1}_{2} \pi \frac{1}{x} dx i don't know what's next. can anyone inform me, please

    Find positive numbers minimizing the sum of a number and its reciprocal

    2x^2 - x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1 it might sound childish, but how is that equal? you can't factor anything or simplify it

    Find positive numbers minimizing the sum of a number and its reciprocal

    \frac{2x^2- (x^2+ 1)}{x^2}= \frac{x^2-1}{x^2} how are they equall?

    Find positive numbers minimizing the sum of a number and its reciprocal

    \frac{(2x)- (x^2+1)}{x^2}= \frac{x^2- 1}{x^2} how are those equal?
