How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The surface generated by rotating y=sin⁡x on [0,π] has area 2π(2+arsinh⁡1)

Example

Rotate the graph y=sin⁡x, 0≤x≤π, about the x-axis. The resulting surface has area

A=2π(2+arsinh⁡1)=2π(2+log⁡(1+2)).

The profile is positive in the parameter interior and vanishes only at its endpoints, where the generating curve meets the axis of revolution.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The radius function r(x)=sin⁡x on [0,π] and the surface obtained by rotating its graph about the x-axis.

[F1]

Under the hypotheses of the scalar surface-integral theorem for a surface of revolution, the rotated surface has area 2π∫abr(s)1+r′(s)2 ds (The surface of revolution has area 2π∫abr(s)1+r′(s)2 ds).

[F2]

Those hypotheses require a<b and r:[a,b]→[0,∞) to be C1 on a neighbourhood of [a,b], positive on (a,b), and allowed to vanish only at the endpoints (Scalar surface integrals on a surface of revolution).

[L1]

sin⁡π=0, and sin⁡x>0 for every x with 0<x<π; thus π is the first positive zero of sine, in particular π>0 (Pi is the first positive zero of sine).

[L2]

The functions sin⁡ and cos⁡ are differentiable on R, with (sin⁡x)′=cos⁡x and (cos⁡x)′=−sin⁡x; also sin⁡0=0 and cos⁡0=1 (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine).

[L3]

For a real-valued function on A⊆R, differentiability at a limit point c∈A implies continuity there (A function differentiable at c is continuous at c).

[L4]

The function sinh⁡:R→R is odd, strictly increasing, and onto; cosh⁡ is positive; cosh⁡2v−sinh⁡2v=1; and (sinh⁡v)′=cosh⁡v (Addition formulas, identities, parity, and derivatives of the hyperbolic functions).

[L5]

Let I⊆R be order-convex with at least two elements, let f:I→R be continuous and injective, and let g:f[I]→I be its inverse. If f is differentiable at c∈I with f′(c)≠0, then g is differentiable at f(c) and g′(f(c))=1/f′(c) (Derivative of an inverse: if f is continuous and injective on a nondegenerate interval I and differentiable at c∈I with f′(c)≠0, then the inverse g is differentiable at f(c) with g′(f(c))=1/f′(c); and if f′(c)=0 then g is not differentiable at f(c)).

[L6]

For every real u, arsinh⁡u=log⁡(u+u2+1) (Logarithm formulas for inverse sinh, inverse cosh, and inverse tanh on their natural domains).

[L7]

For every real α, u↦uα is continuous and differentiable on (0,∞), with derivative αuα−1 (Continuity and derivatives of positive-base real powers).

[L8]

If a>0 and q∈Q, then the real power aq agrees with the rational power; in particular this holds for q=1/2 (The exponential definition of real powers agrees with the existing rational powers).

[L9]

Every nonnegative real a has a unique nonnegative square root a (Square roots exist: a unique a≥0 with (a)2=a; the positives are {x2:x≠0}).

[L12]

Every continuous real-valued function on a nondegenerate closed interval is Riemann integrable there (A continuous function on [a,b] is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion).

[L13]

If a<b, G:[a,b]→R is differentiable at every point of [a,b], and G′ is integrable, then ∫abG′=G(b)−G(a) (The second fundamental theorem: if G is differentiable on [a,b] with G′=f and f is integrable, then ∫abf=G(b)−G(a)).

[L14]

cos⁡0=1 and cos⁡π=−1 (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1F1F2L1L2L3

Facts [L1], [L2], and [L3] verify the hypotheses in [F2], so [F1] gives A=2π∫0πsin⁡x1+cos⁡2x dx.

1.2L3L4L5L9algebra

Let u∈R and v=arsinh⁡u. Facts [L3], [L4], and [L5] give (arsinh⁡u)′=1/cosh⁡v=1/1+u2, where positivity of cosh⁡v and uniqueness in [L9] select the nonnegative square root. Since sinh⁡ is an odd bijection, its inverse is odd, so arsinh⁡(−u)=−arsinh⁡u.

1.3L1L2L3L7L8L9L12algebra

Since π>0 by [L1], the interval [0,π] is nondegenerate. The function x↦sin⁡x1+cos⁡2x is continuous on this interval and hence integrable there.

2.1step 1.2L2L7L8L9L10L11algebra

Define G(x)=−12(arsinh⁡(cos⁡x)+cos⁡x1+cos⁡2x). Using step 1.2, the derivative of the positive square root, and the chain and product rules gives G′(x)=sin⁡x1+cos⁡2x.

3.1step 1.2step 1.3step 2.1L6L9L13L14algebra

By the fundamental theorem, step 1.3, and step 2.1, the integral in step 1.1 is G(π)−G(0)=2+arsinh⁡1: fact [L14] gives the cosine endpoint values, and the oddness in step 1.2 changes arsinh⁡(−1) to −arsinh⁡1. Fact [L6] also gives arsinh⁡1=log⁡(1+2).

4.1step 1.1step 3.1algebra∎

Substituting step 3.1 into the area formula of step 1.1 gives A=2π(2+arsinh⁡1)=2π(2+log⁡(1+2)).

Remarks

The endpoint zeros satisfy the source theorem's boundary allowance. The integrand stays continuous there, since its square-root factor is at least 1, so no improper-integral convention enters the calculation.
