Find the surface area of the solid generated by revolving the parametric curve

\[

x = t^2, \quad y = \frac{t^3}{3}

\]

about the \(x\)-axis.

Proposed solution:

To find the surface area of the solid generated by revolving the parametric curve given by \( x = t^2 \) and \( y = \frac{t^3}{3} \) about the \(x\)-axis, we will use the formula for the surface area \(S\) of a solid of revolution for parametric equations:

\[
S = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} y(t) \sqrt{\left( \frac{dx}{dt} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{dy}{dt} \right)^2} \, dt
\]

Here are the steps:

1. **Identify \(a\) and \(b\):**
   - We need the limits of integration for \(t\). Let's assume \(t\) ranges from \(a\) to \(b\). For simplicity, if no specific range is given, we might consider \(t\) from 0 to some \(T\) or analyze the behavior as \(t\) varies.

2. **Compute the derivatives:**
   - \( \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t^2) = 2t \)
   - \( \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{t^3}{3}\right) = t^2 \)

3. **Form the integrand:**
   - The expression inside the square root becomes:
     \[
     \sqrt{(2t)^2 + (t^2)^2} = \sqrt{4t^2 + t^4} = \sqrt{t^2(4 + t^2)} = t\sqrt{4 + t^2}
     \]

4. **Set up the integral:**
   - Substituting \( y(t) \) and the derivative term into the surface area formula:
     \[
     S = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} \frac{t^3}{3} \cdot t\sqrt{4 + t^2} \, dt = \frac{2\pi}{3} \int_{a}^{b} t^4 \sqrt{4 + t^2} \, dt
     \]

5. **Solve the integral:**
   - This integral can be challenging due to its form. Let's use a substitution to simplify:

     Let \( u = 4 + t^2 \), then \( du = 2t \, dt \), or \( t \, dt = \frac{du}{2} \).

     When \( t = a \), \( u = 4 + a^2 \), and when \( t = b \), \( u = 4 + b^2 \).

     The integral transforms as follows:
     \[
     \frac{2\pi}{3} \int_{4+a^2}^{4+b^2} \left(\frac{u-4}{2}\right)^2 \sqrt{u} \cdot \frac{du}{2}
     \]
     Simplifying further:
     \[
     \frac{\pi}{3} \int_{4+a^2}^{4+b^2} \frac{(u-4)^2}{4} \sqrt{u} \, du = \frac{\pi}{12} \int_{4+a^2}^{4+b^2} (u^{5/2} - 8u^{3/2} + 16u^{1/2}) \, du
     \]

     Now integrate term by term:

     \[
     \frac{\pi}{12} \left[ \frac{2}{7}u^{7/2} - \frac{16}{5}u^{5/2} + \frac{32}{3}u^{3/2} \right]_{4+a^2}^{4+b^2}
     \]

6. **Evaluate at the limits:**
   - This step involves substituting \(u = 4 + b^2\) and \(u = 4 + a^2\) into the antiderivative and finding the difference.

Given the complexity, if \(a = 0\) and \(b\) is taken to infinity or some finite value, further simplification or approximation might be needed or consider specific values for practical computation. 

For a general solution or if \(a\) and \(b\) are not specified, this integral might require numerical methods or further algebraic manipulation for exact evaluation. However, this outlines the approach to solving the surface area problem with parametric equations.
From t = 0 and t = T
Given \( t \) ranges from 0 to \( T \), let's apply this to our integral:

1. **Set the limits of integration:**
   - \( a = 0 \)
   - \( b = T \)

2. **Rewrite the integral with these limits:**
   \[
   S = \frac{2\pi}{3} \int_{0}^{T} t^4 \sqrt{4 + t^2} \, dt
   \]

3. **Perform the substitution:**
   - Let \( u = 4 + t^2 \), then \( du = 2t \, dt \), so \( t \, dt = \frac{du}{2} \).
   - When \( t = 0 \), \( u = 4 \).
   - When \( t = T \), \( u = 4 + T^2 \).

   Transforming the integral:

   \[
   S = \frac{2\pi}{3} \int_{4}^{4+T^2} \frac{(u-4)^2}{4} \sqrt{u} \, \frac{du}{2} = \frac{\pi}{12} \int_{4}^{4+T^2} (u^{5/2} - 8u^{3/2} + 16u^{1/2}) \, du
   \]

4. **Integrate term by term:**

   \[
   S = \frac{\pi}{12} \left[ \frac{2}{7}u^{7/2} - \frac{16}{5}u^{5/2} + \frac{32}{3}u^{3/2} \right]_{4}^{4+T^2}
   \]

5. **Evaluate at the limits:**

   \[
   S = \frac{\pi}{12} \left( \left[ \frac{2}{7}(4+T^2)^{7/2} - \frac{16}{5}(4+T^2)^{5/2} + \frac{32}{3}(4+T^2)^{3/2} \right] - \left[ \frac{2}{7}(4)^{7/2} - \frac{16}{5}(4)^{5/2} + \frac{32}{3}(4)^{3/2} \right] \right)
   \]

   Let's compute each term:

   - For \( u = 4 \):
     \[
     \frac{2}{7} \cdot 4^{7/2} = \frac{2}{7} \cdot 128 = \frac{256}{7}
     \]
     \[
     \frac{16}{5} \cdot 4^{5/2} = \frac{16}{5} \cdot 32 = \frac{512}{5}
     \]
     \[
     \frac{32}{3} \cdot 4^{3/2} = \frac{32}{3} \cdot 8 = \frac{256}{3}
     \]

   - Combine these for \( u = 4 \):
     \[
     \frac{256}{7} - \frac{512}{5} + \frac{256}{3}
     \]

   - For \( u = 4 + T^2 \), the calculations are similar but more complex due to \(T\). 

   - The surface area \(S\) will be:

   \[
   S = \frac{\pi}{12} \left( \left[ \text{Expression involving } (4+T^2) \right] - \left( \frac{256}{7} - \frac{512}{5} + \frac{256}{3} \right) \right)
   \]
This formula gives you the surface area in terms of \(T\). Note that for exact calculations, particularly for the terms involving \( (4+T^2) \), you might want to use a calculator or symbolic computation tool for accuracy, especially if \(T\) is not a simple integer or if you need a numerical answer.

I want you to counter-check whether the solution is accurate.
