Step 1:
\The function is and
.
Definition:
\If the curve is described as ,
then the surface area of the curve obtained by rotating about the
-axis is
The curve is .
Differentiate on each side.
\Area of the surface obtained by the curve rotating about the -axis is
Step 2:
\Simpsons rule :
\Let be continuous on
and let
be an even integer,
The Simpsons Rule for approximating is given by
,
where and
Using Simpson Rule, .
Step 3:
\Area of the surface obtained by the curve rotating about the -axis is
Using calculator, the value of the integral is .
Solution :
\Using Simpson Rule, .
