about the​ y-axis

To find the area of the surface generated by revolving the curve around the \( y \)-axis, we use the formula for the surface area of revolution around the \( y \)-axis:

\[
A = 2\pi \int_{x_1}^{x_2} x \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} \, dx
\]

Given the curve \( y = (8x)^{1/3} \), we need to follow these steps:

### Step 1: Find the derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \)
The curve is given as \( y = (8x)^{1/3} \).

Taking the derivative with respect to \( x \):

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{3}(8x)^{-2/3} \cdot 8 = \frac{8}{3}(8x)^{-2/3}
\]

Thus, 

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{8}{3}(8x)^{-2/3}
\]

### Step 2: Set up the integral
We need to plug this into the surface area formula. Substituting \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) into the formula:

\[
A = 2\pi \int_{0}^{1/8} x \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{8}{3}(8x)^{-2/3} \right)^2} \, dx
\]

Now we will simplify and compute this integral.
