Let
S be the surface defined by z= 1/ (x2 + y2)^(1/2)
for
z ≥ 1.
(a) Sketch the graph of this surface.
(b) Show that the volume of the region bounded by
S
and the plane
z = 1 is finite. (You will need to use
an improper integral.)
(c) Show that the surface area of
S is infinite.
I understand that the surface looks like a volcano. I assume x=s, y=t, and z=f(s,t), but I don't know exactly what the limits of integration are for t and s other than the fact that the hint that it goes from 1 to infinity. Its obviously of the form dsdt and follows from the fact that I have to take the line integral of the magnitude of the normal vector Ts x Tt. At least, that would be my assumption for how to solve c. I don't even know how to begin finding the volume. Many thanks in advance for your help.
