The figure above shows a cross section (at y = 0 ) through the hyperboloid of one sheet (red) given by
x 2 + y 2 − z 2 = 1
and the hyperboloid of two sheets (blue) given by
x 2 + y 2 − z 2 = − 1
Find the volume bounded by the two hyperboloids and z = − 5 and z = 5 . The volume can be written as b a π for positive coprime integers a , b . Find a + b .

Comparing the volumes of revolution, we want to calculate π ∫ − 5 5 ( z 2 + 1 ) d z − 2 π ∫ 1 5 ( z 2 − 1 ) d z = 3 5 6 π making the answer 5 6 + 3 = 5 9 .

If we look at the boundaries for the outer function for positive z (due to symmetry, we can multiply by 2 to get the total volume), we get
0 ≤ r ≤ z 2 + 1 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π 0 ≤ z ≤ 5
And for the inner function, we get
0 ≤ r ≤ z 2 − 1 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π 1 ≤ z ≤ 5
Then we get this expression for the total volume:
2 [ ∫ 0 5 ∫ 0 2 π ∫ 0 z 2 + 1 r d r d θ d z − ∫ 1 5 ∫ 0 2 π ∫ 0 z 2 − 1 r d r d θ d z ]
= ∫ 0 5 ∫ 0 2 π z 2 + 1 d θ d z − ∫ 1 5 ∫ 0 2 π z 2 − 1 d θ d z = ∫ 0 5 ∫ 0 2 π z 2 + 1 d θ d z − ∫ 1 5 ∫ 0 2 π z 2 − 1 d θ d z
= ∫ 0 5 ( 2 π ) ( z 2 + 1 ) d z − ∫ 1 5 ( 2 π ) ( z 2 − 1 ) d z
= ( 2 π ) ( 3 z 3 + 1 + z ) ∣ ∣ ∣ 0 5 − ( 2 π ) ( 3 z 3 + 1 − z ) ∣ ∣ ∣ 1 5
= 3 5 6 π
a + b = 5 6 + 3 = 5 9
