Gabriel's Horn is defined to be the region obtained by rotating
the region below the graph of f(x) = 1/x from x ≥ 1 about the x-axis.
●●●
(a) Show that the horn has finite volume.
(b) Use the formula ſº 2πƒ(x)√/1+ [ƒ'(x)]² dx for the surface area of a
solid of revolution rotated about the x-axis to show that the horn has
infinite surface area. See § 7.5 for details on how this formula is derived.
In other words, “Gabriel's horn can be filled with paint, but it cannot be
painted!"
