First, we have to convert our function (of x) into a function of y (we revolve the curve around the y-axis). So:
And the derivative of x:
Now, we can calculate the area of the surface:
We could calculate this integral (not very hard, but long), or use (1), (2) and (3) to get:
Calculate indefinite integral:
And the area:
