[Hyperbola Rotation Quiz]
Probably much easier than my previous ellipse rotation quiz. Consider a hyperbola x²/a² - y²/b² = 1 (a,b>0) on xy-plane. X is the surface of revolution obtained by revolving this hyperbola around x-axis, and Y is the surface of revolution obtained by revolving this hyperbola around y-axis. Are two surfaces X and Y the same? Or are they generally different?

[Ellipse Rotation Quiz]
Consider an ellipse x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (a,b>0) on xy-plane. X is the solid of revolution obtained by revolving this ellipse around x-axis. Y is the solid of revolution obtained by revolving this ellipse around y-axis. What can be said about the comparison between two solids X and Y? Are they always the same? Or are they generally different?

Among the following formulas of derivatives and integrals of exponential and logarithmic functions, which one do you think is the LEAST worth memorizing?

Here, log_a(x) means "log base a of x," and a is a positive constant (a ≠ 1 if it is the base of a logarithm).

In case you wonder about their derivations, they can all be derived from the derivative and integral of e^x and lnx, along with additional properties a = e^(lna) and log_a(x) = lnx/lna.

The following are some unit fractions that are expressed as infinite decimals and their respective approximate percentage values. Which percentage do you think is most useful to memorize?

Unit fractions expressed as finite decimals (e.g. 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, etc.) are not listed.
