The surface area is approximately 72.35 square units.

Solución

It seems that there was an issue with the calculation. Let's try to calculate the integral manually. The integral to be calculated is: \[ S = \int_{0}^{4} 2\pi x^2 \sqrt{1 + (2x)^2} dx \] To solve this integral, we can use the substitution method. Let's substitute \( u = 1 + (2x)^2 \), which means \( du = 4x \cdot 2x \, dx = 8x^2 \, dx \). The integral becomes: \[ S = \frac{1}{4} \int_{1}^{17} 2\pi u^{\frac{1}{2}} \, du \] Now, we can calculate the integral: \[ S = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 2\pi \cdot \left[ \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}} \right]_{1}^{17} \] \[ S = \frac{1}{3} \pi \cdot \left[ 17^{\frac{3}{2}} - 1 \right] \] \[ S = \frac{1}{3} \pi \cdot \left[ 17\sqrt{17} - 1 \right] \] Now, we can calculate the numerical value of \( S \) using a calculator. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{1}{3}\pi \left(17\sqrt{17}-1\right)\) - step1: Multiply: \(\frac{\pi }{3}\left(17\sqrt{17}-1\right)\) - step2: Multiply: \(\frac{\pi \left(17\sqrt{17}-1\right)}{3}\) - step3: Multiply: \(\frac{17\sqrt{17}\times \pi -\pi }{3}\) The surface area generated by revolving the graph of \( f(x) = x^2 \) about the \( x \)-axis over the interval \( 0 \leq x \leq 4 \) is approximately 72.35 square units when rounded to the nearest hundredth.

To find the surface area generated by revolving the graph of \( f(x) = x^2 \) about the \( x \)-axis over the interval \( [0, 4] \), we can use the formula for the surface area \( S \) of a solid of revolution: \[ S = 2\pi \int_a^b f(x) \sqrt{1 + (f'(x))^2} \, dx \] First, we need to compute \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = 2x \] Now, substitute \( f(x) \) and \( f'(x) \) into the formula. We calculate: \[ 1 + (f'(x))^2 = 1 + (2x)^2 = 1 + 4x^2 \] Now, we set up the integral to compute the surface area: \[ S = 2\pi \int_0^4 x^2 \sqrt{1 + 4x^2} \, dx \] Using a calculator to evaluate this integral numerically, we find: \[ S \approx 2\pi \left( \int_0^4 x^2 \sqrt{1 + 4x^2} \, dx \right) \approx 2\pi (42.67) \approx 268.21 \] Therefore, the surface area generated by revolving the graph about the \( x \)-axis, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is approximately: \[ \boxed{268.21} \]
