Question 1183478: Let R be the region between the 𝑥-axis and the graph of y = 8/(x+1) for x>0. Let S1 be the solid obtained by revolving R around the x-axis. Let S2 be the solid obtained by revolving R around the y-axis.
a.Compute the area of R using an improper integral. (my answer: diverges)
b.Compute the volume of S1 using an improper integral. (my answer, using cylinder method: 64pi)
d.Compute the volume of S2 using an improper integral. (my answer, using cylindrical shell method: diverges)
Are these answers correct?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a. Your answer is correct, although you have to mention that the value of the integral is %2Binfinity.
b. Your answer for the volume of S1 is correct (+64%2Api), by using the cylindrical disc method.
c. Your answer is correct, although you have to mention that the value of the integral is %2Binfinity (using the cylindrical shell method).
