SUMMARY
The volume of the region in R3 bounded by the hyperboloid defined by the equation x² + y² - z² = 1 and the planes z = 1 and z = -1 is infinite. This is due to the nature of the hyperboloid, which creates an unbounded set when intersected with planes of the form z = constant. To calculate the volume, one must integrate the function S = π(1 + z²) from z = -1 to z = 1, resulting in the integral π∫(1 + z²)dz from -1 to 1.
