f(x+s)=f(x)f(s) imply that f is an exponential function when f(0) = 1.
I was reading a proof for a theorem in Erhan Cinlars intro to stochastic processes textbook that any equation with the following $f(x+s) = f(x)f(s)$, with $f(0)=1$. Then $f(x)=e^{(-ax)}$ for some $a$. ...

Arc length vs Surface of revolution.
I don't understand why these two problems are solved differently here the first one $fig(1)$ and 2nd one $fig(2)$. Why did we take the limit $\displaystyle \lim_{r\to0^+}\int_r^\pi \sqrt{2-2cost}\...

Why can we apply the surface area of revolution theorem to a spiral?
To find the surface area generated by revolving function f which is smooth on the interval [a,b] and $f(y) \ge0$ around the y-axis we can use the formula $$S=\int_a^b 2\pi rdl =\int_a^b 2\pi f(y)\...
