Sorry, I've made this really confusing (for myself as well). When i put the integration of sec^3 in latex i used x but if you look to the top it should actually be an integration of sec^3 theta which is the result of a substitution of -sin x for tan theta.
Ok, so is that a yes or no to the "do I need to change the limits of integration a second time" question:P Thanks for your patience folks. It's a rotation about the x-axis.
Thanks for the reply.
Alright so if I inetgrate the first one fully from sec^3 I get:
\int^\frac{\pi}{3}_{0}(sec^3\ x\ dx) = sec\ x\ tan x - \int(sec\ x\ tan^2\ x dx)
= sec\ x\ tan\ x - \int(sec\ x\ (sec^2\ x - 1) dx)
= sec\ x\ tan\ x - \int(sec^3\ x\ dx) + \int(sec\ x\ dx)
= sec\ x\...

I'm not sure how to proceed here. The first one asks me to find the area of a surface obtained by rotating the curve y = cos(x), 0 \leq x \leq\ \frac{\pi}{3}
The second one asks to Solve: \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{ty+3t}{t^2+1}\ y(2)=2
