Homework Statement
This is so basic and yet I'm not getting it.
Find the volume of the solid when the region enclosed is revolved arond the y axis.
[tex] x = \sqrt{1 + y}[/tex]
x=0, y=3
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So I first graphed the thing, finding that the enclosed area was between y=1 and y=3. I took the volumne of the equation, or A=pi *[tex]\sqrt{1 + y}^2[/tex]. I then took the integral, pi * [tex]\int_{1}^{3} 1 + y dy[/tex], coming out with 6*pi. My book says this isn't right. Did I do anything wrong? Use the wrong formula?
