Worked solution

3(a)

1. Express the numerator in terms of the derivative of the quadratic expression inside the square root.

ddx(1−4x−x2)=−4−2x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(1-4x-x^2) = -4-2x
6+2x=−(−4−2x)+26+2x = -(-4-2x) + 2
∫6+2x1−4x−x2 dx=∫−(−4−2x)1−4x−x2 dx+∫21−4x−x2 dx\int \frac{6+2x}{\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}} \,\mathrm{d}x = \int \frac{-(-4-2x)}{\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}} \,\mathrm{d}x + \int \frac{2}{\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}} \,\mathrm{d}x

2. Integrate the first term using recognition of the form $f'(x)[f(x)]^n$.

−∫(−4−2x)(1−4x−x2)−12 dx=−(1−4x−x2)1212=−21−4x−x2-\int (-4-2x)(1-4x-x^2)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \,\mathrm{d}x = -\frac{(1-4x-x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} = -2\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}

3. Complete the square for the quadratic expression to prepare the second term for integration.

1−4x−x2=1−(x2+4x)1-4x-x^2 = 1 - (x^2+4x)
=1−((x+2)2−4)= 1 - \left((x+2)^2 - 4\right)
=5−(x+2)2= 5 - (x+2)^2

4. Integrate the second term using the standard formula for inverse sine.

∫25−(x+2)2 dx=2sin⁡−1(x+25)\int \frac{2}{\sqrt{5-(x+2)^2}} \,\mathrm{d}x = 2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{5}}\right)

5. Combine the integrated parts and include the constant of integration.

∫6+2x1−4x−x2 dx=−21−4x−x2+2sin⁡−1(x+25)+C\int \frac{6+2x}{\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}} \,\mathrm{d}x = -2\sqrt{1-4x-x^2} + 2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) + C

Answer

−21−4x−x2+2sin⁡−1(x+25)+C-2\sqrt{1-4x-x^2} + 2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) + C

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 CC from x=1x=1 to x=ex=e, and the volume generated by rotating line LL from x=2x=2 to x=ex=e.
V=π∫1e(ln⁡xx)2 dx−π∫2e(1e(e−2)(x−2))2 dxV = \pi \int_{1}^{e} \left( \frac{\sqrt{\ln x}}{x} \right)^2 \, \mathrm{d}x - \pi \int_{2}^{e} \left( \frac{1}{e(e-2)}(x-2) \right)^2 \, \mathrm{d}x

2. Integrate the function for the curve $C$ using integration by parts.

For the first integral, we need to evaluate ∫ln⁡xx2 dx\int \frac{\ln x}{x^2} \, \mathrm{d}x.
Let u=ln⁡x  ⟹  dudx=1xu = \ln x \implies \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{1}{x}
Let dvdx=x−2  ⟹  v=−x−1=−1x\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x} = x^{-2} \implies v = -x^{-1} = -\frac{1}{x}

Using the integration by parts formula ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u \, \mathrm{d}v = uv - \int v \, \mathrm{d}u:
∫ln⁡xx2 dx=−ln⁡xx−∫(−1x)(1x) dx\int \frac{\ln x}{x^2} \, \mathrm{d}x = -\frac{\ln x}{x} - \int \left( -\frac{1}{x} \right) \left( \frac{1}{x} \right) \, \mathrm{d}x
=−ln⁡xx+∫x−2 dx=−ln⁡xx−1x=−ln⁡x+1x= -\frac{\ln x}{x} + \int x^{-2} \, \mathrm{d}x = -\frac{\ln x}{x} - \frac{1}{x} = -\frac{\ln x + 1}{x}

3. Evaluate the limits for the volume generated by $C$.

VC=π[−ln⁡x+1x]1eV_C = \pi \left[ -\frac{\ln x + 1}{x} \right]_{1}^{e}
=π(−ln⁡e+1e−(−ln⁡1+11))= \pi \left( -\frac{\ln e + 1}{e} - \left( -\frac{\ln 1 + 1}{1} \right) \right)
=π(−2e+1)=π(1−2e)= \pi \left( -\frac{2}{e} + 1 \right) = \pi \left( 1 - \frac{2}{e} \right)

4. Calculate the volume generated by rotating the line $L$.

The solid generated by rotating the straight line LL between x=2x=2 and x=ex=e is a right circular cone.
The base radius at x=ex=e is r=1e(e−2)(e−2)=1er = \frac{1}{e(e-2)}(e-2) = \frac{1}{e}.
The height of the cone is h=e−2h = e - 2.
VL=13πr2h=13π(1e)2(e−2)=π(e−2)3e2V_L = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi \left( \frac{1}{e} \right)^2 (e - 2) = \frac{\pi (e - 2)}{3e^2}
(Note: Evaluating π∫2e(x−2)2e2(e−2)2 dx\pi \int_{2}^{e} \frac{(x-2)^2}{e^2(e-2)^2} \, \mathrm{d}x yields the exact same expression).

5. Subtract the two volumes to find the exact total volume of revolution.

V=VC−VL=π(1−2e)−π(e−2)3e2V = V_C - V_L = \pi \left( 1 - \frac{2}{e} \right) - \frac{\pi(e - 2)}{3e^2}
=π(3e2−6e3e2−e−23e2)= \pi \left( \frac{3e^2 - 6e}{3e^2} - \frac{e - 2}{3e^2} \right)
=π(3e2−7e+23e2)= \pi \left( \frac{3e^2 - 7e + 2}{3e^2} \right)

Answer

π(3e2−7e+2)3e2\frac{\pi(3e^2 - 7e + 2)}{3e^2}
