Now imagine that the graph is rotated about the $x$-axis.
Now imagine that the graph is rotated about the $x$ axis.
What is the volume subtended by the area under the curve?
\medskip
\noindent
To solve, use cylindrical coordinates.
The $x$ axis becomes the $z$ axis.
We want $x$ to become a function of $y$ so invert the function.
$$y={1\over\sqrt{1+x^2}}
\quad\rightarrow\quad
{1\over y^2}=1+x^2
\quad\rightarrow\quad
x=\sqrt{{1\over y^2}-1}
