In the following applet, the function $f$ is defined on the domain $a \leq x \leq b$ .

Use the angle alpha to rotate the curve 360 degrees around the $x$ axis.

These other functions work well on the axes given:

$\sqrt{x}$ (type in sqrt(x) to the input box)

$\sqrt{x+2}$

$\sin(x)+3$

$2\sin(x)$

$2\sin(x)+1$
