NVM I GET HOW TO DO I TNOW
"The region bounded by the graphs of [tex]y = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+25}} [/tex], y = 0, and x = 5 is revolved about the y-axis. Find the volume of the resulting solid."
The only way i see to do this right now is to use shells, and the equation for that is
[tex] V = \int 2 \pi x f(x) [/tex] where the integral is from the lower limit to the upper limit
Mathematica can't find an answer to it. You can try it yourself if you want [Integral of 2*pi*x^2/(x^2+25)^(1/2)]Thanks in advance for your helpOh also, the correct answer is [tex] 25\pi[\sqrt{2}-\ln{\sqrt{2}+1}] \approx 41.85 [/tex]
EDIt: ok mathematica does get an answer, but is the a way to find it without a reduction formula for tanx^2*secx ?
