Definition of the area of a surface revolution:
\Let
have a continuous derivative on the interval
.
The area
of the surface of revolution formed by revolving the graph of
about a horizontal or vertical axis is
.
Where
is distance between the graph of
and the axis of revolution.
Observe the graph:
\
of
is greater than
of
.
Therefore, the surface of revolution given by
will be larger.
The surface of revolution given by
will be larger.
