To find the surface area of a portion of a cylindrical surface in the first octant, we need to consider the given boundaries. The cylinder is defined by \(x^2 + z^2 = 9\), and we are interested in the part of this cylinder that lies between the planes \(x=0\), \(x=3\), \(y=0\), and \(y=5\). We will set up an integral to calculate the surface area over this region.
Step 1: Define the Cylinder and Boundaries
The cylinder is defined by the equation \( x^2 + z^2 = 9 \). We are interested in the portion of this cylinder that lies in the first octant, bounded by the planes \( x = 0 \), \( x = 3 \), \( y = 0 \), and \( y = 5 \).
Step 2: Solve for \( z \)
From the cylinder equation, we can express \( z \) in terms of \( x \):
\[
z = \pm \sqrt{9 - x^2}
\]
In the first octant, we take the positive root, so \( z = \sqrt{9 - x^2} \).
Step 3: Calculate the Surface Area Element
The surface area element \( dS \) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
dS = \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{dz}{dx} \right)^2} \, dy \, dx
\]
We find \( \frac{dz}{dx} \):
\[
\frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{9 - x^2}}
\]
Thus, the surface area element becomes:
\[
dS = \sqrt{1 + \frac{x^2}{9 - x^2}} \, dy \, dx = \sqrt{\frac{9}{9 - x^2}} \, dy \, dx
\]
Step 4: Set Up the Integral
We need to integrate \( dS \) over the specified limits for \( x \) and \( y \):
\[
\text{Surface Area} = \int_{0}^{3} \int_{0}^{5} \sqrt{\frac{9}{9 - x^2}} \, dy \, dx
\]
Calculating the inner integral with respect to \( y \) gives:
\[
\int_{0}^{5} dy = 5
\]
Thus, the surface area simplifies to:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 5 \int_{0}^{3} \sqrt{\frac{9}{9 - x^2}} \, dx
\]
Step 5: Evaluate the Integral
The integral can be evaluated, yielding:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 15 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{15\pi}{2}
\]
Final Answer
The surface area of the specified portion of the cylinder is:
\[
\boxed{23.5619}
\]
