Q:Let R be the region to the right of $x=1$ that is bounded by the $x$-axis and the curve $y=frac1x$. Show that the solid generated bt the revolution of the region about the $x$-axis has finite volume but infinite surface area.
My Approach:$$
V = pi int_1^infty frac1x^2 dx=pilim_t to inftyint_1^tfrac1x^2 dx=pi
$$
Hence i can said that the revolution of the region has finite volume.But i haven't a very good idea about improper integral then how could I prove$$A=2piint_1^infty frac1xsqrt1+frac1x^4 dx=divergent$$Any hints or solution will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    Are you sure you got the right curve? Looks more like the surface gotten by revolving $y=1/x$ instead of $y=1/x^2$. Anyway, the judgement day is here.

For positive $x$, $sqrt1+x^-4$ is always greater than $1$. Then $$A>2piint_1^infty frac1xdx=2pi(lninfty-ln 1)=infty$$

  • Good concept :.... It depends on the problem. The idea is that if you can solve a related but simpler integral that converges/diverges and compare your desired function with that, without calculating the integral. Suppose my simplified function $f_s$ is always positive in a certain interval $a$ to $b$. Then if $f(x)>f_s(x)$ you get $$int_a^b f(x)dx>int_a^b f_s(x)dx$$

Lower-bound the surface area integral with another divergent integral. $sqrt1+1/x^4>1$ for all $xge 1$, so the surface area integral is greater than
$$int_1^inftyfrac 1x,dx$$
which diverges.
