Worked solution
3(a)
1. Express the numerator in terms of the derivative of the quadratic expression inside the square root.
2. Integrate the first term using recognition of the form $f'(x)[f(x)]^n$.
3. Complete the square for the quadratic expression to prepare the second term for integration.
4. Integrate the second term using the standard formula for inverse sine.
5. Combine the integrated parts and include the constant of integration.
3(b)
1. Set up the expression for the required volume of revolution.
The volume of the solid is the difference between the volume generated by rotating curve from to , and the volume generated by rotating line from to .
2. Integrate the function for the curve $C$ using integration by parts.
For the first integral, we need to evaluate .
Let
Let
Using the integration by parts formula :
3. Evaluate the limits for the volume generated by $C$.
4. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the line $L$.
The solid generated by rotating the straight line between and is a right circular cone.
The base radius at is .
The height of the cone is .
(Note: Evaluating yields the exact same expression).
5. Subtract the two volumes to find the exact total volume of revolution.
