Riemann-Stieltjes integral $\int\limits_a^b f(x) \, \mathrm{d}g = \frac{\log ^2(n)}{2 \log (10)}|_a^b$

I'm having trouble with this integral: $\int\limits_a^b f(x) \, \mathrm{d}g = \frac{\log ^2(n)}{2 \log (10)}|_a^b$ If I want to find the product such: $10^m.10^{m+1}...\leq n$ so for example for $...

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)\...
