If you rotate every point of the curve and the line in the xy-plane clockwise through ϕ = arctan ( 3 4 ) about the origin of the coordinate system, the line is on the x-axis and the curve is described by x → ( x ′ ( x ) , y ′ ( x ) ) , 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 , where ( u = 3 4 )
x ′ = x cos ϕ + y sin ϕ = 1 + u 2 1 ( x + y u ) , sin ( arctan u ) = 1 + u 2 u , cos ( arctan u ) = 1 + u 2 1 = 5 3 ( 3 1 1 x + 9 4 x 3 ) = 5 1 1 x + 1 5 4 x 3
and
y ′ = − x sin ϕ + y cos ϕ = 5 3 ( − 3 4 x + y ) = 5 3 ( 3 2 x + 3 1 x 3 ) = 5 2 x + 5 1 x 3
This curve is now rotating about the x-axis and the surface element is
d A = 2 π x x ′ 2 + y x ′ 2 ⋅ y ′ d x = 2 π 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 ( 5 2 x + 5 1 x 3 ) d x = 2 0 2 π 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 ( 8 x + 4 x 3 ) d x = 1 0 π 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 [ d x d ( 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 ) ] d x
.
A \ = ∫ d A = 0 ∫ 1 1 0 π 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 [ d x d ( 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 ) ] d x = [ 3 2 1 0 π 5 + 4 x 2 + x 4 2 3 ] 0 1 = 3 ⋅ 5 π ( 1 0 1 0 − 5 5 ) = 3 4 0 − 5 π
So A + B = 4 5
