When you spin the function 1/X around on the X-axis, and take the
volume, you notice that the volume is finite. However, the surface
area is infiinite.

Another words, this shape can hold a finite amount of paint, but it
requires infinity gallons to paint it.

Please explain?


Does the coating of paint have any thickness?

you beat me to it.
I have a can of paint that has zero thickness when applied. One gallon
covers all.
Only takes an infinite amount of time to put it on, and very tiny paint
brushes for the point.
