A parametric curve is given by \(x=k t, y=e^{k t}\), where \(k\) is a positive constant. The curve is rotated about the \(x\)-axis from \(t=a\) to \(t=b\), where \(b>a\), to form a surface of revolution.
The area of this surface is given by
- \(2 \displaystyle \pi \int_a^b e^{k t} \sqrt{k^2 t^2+e^{2 k t}}\ d t\)
- \(2 \displaystyle\pi \sqrt{k} \int_a^b e^{k t} \sqrt{1+e^{k t}}\ d t\)
- \(2 \displaystyle\pi \int_{\Large{e^{k a}}}^{\Large{e^{k b}}} \sqrt{1+u^2}\ d u\)
- \(2 \displaystyle\pi \int_{\Large{e^{k a}}}^{\Large{e^{k b}}} u \sqrt{1+u^2}\ d u\)
