Find the area of the surface obtained by revolving y=25-x^2 around the y axis on the interval [0,5].

Please explain how you'd do it. Thank you!

Therefore The surface area = 83.33sq.units.

For rotation about y - axis ,the surface area formula is image

  • The curve equation is image

image

In this case the interval is [0,5], So a = 0 and b = 5.

  • Our formula becomes image
