Greetings,
y=x2/4 - ln(x)/2 from 1=<x<=2
rotated about the y-axis.
I did the equation rotating about the x-axis via 2pi* integral (f(x)*sqrt(1+f'(x)^2)) dx
with dy/dx = x/2 - 1/2x
but the question calls for rotation about y and i can't seem to rearrange the equation to isolate for x in terms of y.
Any ideas?
Thanks
