aosor(f, x, a, b)
- f is an expression in terms of x
- x is a variable name
- a is the x-value of the starting point
- b is the x-value of the ending point
Returns the area of the surface obtained by rotating the graph of f between x = a and x = b around the x-axis.
Example
Find the integral that gives the area of the surface of revolution obtained by rotating the graph of \(y = \cos^{-1}(x)\) between \(y = 0\) and \(y = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\) around the \(y\)-axis. (2023 Specialist Exam 2 Section A Question 11)
