Consider the region bounded by the curves y= (x)/(1-x) , x= 0, x=(1/2), y=0.
Calculate the volume of the solid that is created when this region is revolved about the x-axis.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
This is the work I have so far, but it seems to be giving me undefined answers, and I know this can't possibly be right.
V= [itex] \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} [\frac{x}{1-x}]^{2}\, dx [/itex] Whole thing is squared, by the way.
∏ * [itex] \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} [\frac{x}{1-x}]^{2}\, dx [/itex]
∏ * [itex] (\left. x + \frac{1}{(1-x)} + 2 ln (x-1))\right|_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} [/itex]
Would appreciate any help on this as I've been working on it for hours and can't seem to figure out what's going on. Thank you.
