What is the volume of the solid obtained when the region bounded by the curves y=1/x, y=0, x=1, and x=3 is rotated about the y-axis?
Here's my work:
a(x)=?(1/x)^2 = 1/(?(x^2))
Volume = integral from 1 to 3... 1/(?(x^2))dx
= ?[-1/x]from 1 to 3.
= ?[-1/3-(-1)]
= ?(-1/3 + 1)
= 2?/3 UNITS^2
Teacher told me it was wrong but I don't understand. Thanks.
