Answer:

The statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Solid of revolution:

when a region in the plane is revolved about a given line that is called axis of revolution, then we get a solid of revolution.

In this problem we want to find the volume of a solid formed by revolving the function [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}+1 }[/tex] about the x-axis on the interval [1,2]

We can find the volume of any solid by integrating its area

[tex]V=\int\limits^b_a {A} \, dx [/tex]     eq. 1

where [tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]

and [tex]r^{2} =(f(x))^{2} =(\sqrt{x^{2}+1 })^{2}[/tex]

Limits are [tex] a=1 , b=2[/tex]

eq. 1 becomes

[tex]V=\int\limits^b_a {\pi  r^{2}\, dx[/tex]

[tex]V=\int\limits^2_1 {\pi (f(x) )^{2}\, dx[/tex]

[tex]V=\int\limits^2_1 {\pi (\sqrt{x^{2}+1 }  )^{2}\, dx[/tex]

Hence proved.

The volume of the solid formed by revolving the function [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}+1 }[/tex]  about the x-axis on the interval [1, 2] is given by [tex]V=\int\limits^2_1 {\pi (\sqrt{x^{2}+1 }  )^{2}\, dx[/tex]
