Solution

To find the exact area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis, we can use the formula for the surface area of a solid of revolution:

A = ∫[a,b] 2πf(x)√[1 + (f'(x))^2] dx

Here, f(x) = 5 - x, and the interval [a,b] is [3,5].

First, we need to find the derivative of f(x), f'(x):

f'(x) = -1

Then, we substitute f(x) and f'(x) into the formula:

A = ∫[3,5] 2π(5 - x)√[1 + (-1)^2] dx = ∫[3,5] 2π(5 - x)√2 dx

Now, we can compute the integral:

A = 2π√2 ∫[3,5] (5 - x) dx = 2π√2 [5x - 0.5x^2] evaluated from 3 to 5 = 2π√2 [(55 - 0.55^2) - (53 - 0.53^2)] = 2π√2 [12.5 - 7.5] = 2π√2 * 5 = 10π√2

So, the exact area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve y = 5 - x, 3 ≤ x ≤ 5 about the x-axis is 10π√2 square units.
