Question 2i) The curve is a parabola:
The base has a radius length of 15, with the y-axis (

) as the central axis, which means the x-intercepts are:

.
Hence:
(x+15))
Also, we know the coordinates at the top of the bowl:
)
and
)
Use any of those points on the above equation to find the value of

, and then expand the expression to prove it.
ii) Use volumes of revolution on the parabola. You are rotating about the y-axis.
iii) Find an expression for

. Remember to include the top and the bottom. It will involve calculus. Try to find an integral that will represent the sum of the tiny strips that make up surface of the solid of revolution.
This shouldn't actually be on the course (part iii.) which leads
Mao to believe that the

they are referring to is just the top (or bottom) surface area. Pretty ambiguous question. You will need clarification, or you can just work it out (since you know what you're aiming for -- it gives you the answer)
Summary: This whole SAC (or whatever it is) is easy, except Question 2 part iii.
