Homework Statement
Find the area of the surface generated by these equations around the y axis
x=t2+1/(2t) y=4√t ; 1/√2≤t≤1
Homework Equations
S=∫2[tex]\pi[/tex] x√(dx/dt)2+(dy/dt)2)dt
The Attempt at a Solution
dx/dt=2t-1/2t2 squaring that, 4t2-2/t+1/(4t4)
dy/dt=2/√t squaring that , 4/t
plugging this intot he formula
S= 2[tex]\pi[/tex]∫ (t2+1/(2t)√(4t2-2/t+1/(4t4)+4/t)
S= 2[tex]\pi[/tex]∫ (t2+1/(2t) √((2t+1/(2t2))2
S= 2[tex]\pi[/tex]∫ (t2+1/(2t) (2t+1/(2t2))
so this is where I am stuck u sub almost works here, if it weren't for that pesky negative sign. So could someone help me maybe they noticed a mistake in my work. anything thank you much.
