I got as far as the definite integral but then I got stuck at the solution of the integral....probably there is a mistake or there is an easier way...

Explanation:

I considered the function and the rotation:

giving the expression of the surface area S as:

S=10(2π)(xex)1+4x24x+14e2xxdx

which I am not able to solve!!!
