Hello everyone, I am a newly registered member posting (hopefully correctly) my first ever post! Thanks for your time!

\\Begin Problem

Find the area of the surface generated when the given curve is revolved about the y-axis.

y=(2x)^(1/3) for 0<=y<=3

The Surface Area is [Answer in box] square units
(Type an exact answer in terms of pi)

\\ End Problem

I have spent far too much time on this problem (over 3 hours 1 problem, ridiculous), I am odiously missing something simple or just failing to do the math correctly. Unfortunately this is one of those problems where you have to type it into a computer. The other 5 I did in like 10 minutes.

We really do need to see your work!

Have you found the radius?
What is the increment of area?
Where are you actually getting stuck?
