4(i)

1. Rewrite the integral using the double-angle identity to eliminate the squared trigonometric term.

∫xsin⁡2x dx=∫x(1−cos⁡2x2) dx\int x \sin^2 x \, dx = \int x \left( \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2} \right) \, dx
=12∫x dx−12∫xcos⁡2x dx= \frac{1}{2} \int x \, dx - \frac{1}{2} \int x \cos 2x \, dx

2. Apply integration by parts to evaluate $\int x \cos 2x \, dx$.

Let u=x  ⟹  dudx=1u = x \implies \frac{du}{dx} = 1, and dvdx=cos⁡2x  ⟹  v=12sin⁡2x\frac{dv}{dx} = \cos 2x \implies v = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x.
∫xcos⁡2x dx=x(12sin⁡2x)−∫1⋅12sin⁡2x dx\int x \cos 2x \, dx = x \left( \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \right) - \int 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \, dx
=x2sin⁡2x−(−14cos⁡2x)= \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x - \left( -\frac{1}{4} \cos 2x \right)
=x2sin⁡2x+14cos⁡2x= \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x

3. Evaluate the remaining polynomial integral and combine terms with the constant of integration.

12∫x dx=12(x22)=x24\frac{1}{2} \int x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{x^2}{2} \right) = \frac{x^2}{4}
Substituting the pieces back into the expanded expression:
∫xsin⁡2x dx=x24−12(x2sin⁡2x+14cos⁡2x)+C\int x \sin^2 x \, dx = \frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{x}{2} \sin 2x + \frac{1}{4} \cos 2x \right) + C
=x24−x4sin⁡2x−18cos⁡2x+C= \frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{x}{4} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{8} \cos 2x + C

Answer

x24−x4sin⁡2x−18cos⁡2x+C\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{x}{4} \sin 2x - \frac{1}{8} \cos 2x + C

4(ii)

1. Set up the integral for the volume of revolution about the $x$-axis.

V=π∫aby2 dxV = \pi \int_{a}^{b} y^2 \, dx
V=π∫0π(xsin⁡x)2 dx=π∫0πxsin⁡x dxV = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} (\sqrt{x \sin x})^2 \, dx = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} x \sin x \, dx

2. Evaluate the indefinite integral $\int x \sin x \, dx$ using integration by parts.

Let u=x  ⟹  dudx=1u = x \implies \frac{du}{dx} = 1
Let dvdx=sin⁡x  ⟹  v=−cos⁡x\frac{dv}{dx} = \sin x \implies v = -\cos x

∫xsin⁡x dx=−xcos⁡x−∫(−cos⁡x) dx\int x \sin x \, dx = -x \cos x - \int (-\cos x) \, dx
=−xcos⁡x+sin⁡x= -x \cos x + \sin x

3. Apply the limits of integration to calculate the exact volume.

V=π[−xcos⁡x+sin⁡x]0πV = \pi \left[ -x \cos x + \sin x \right]_{0}^{\pi}
V=π((−πcos⁡π+sin⁡π)−(−0cos⁡0+sin⁡0))V = \pi \Big( (-\pi \cos \pi + \sin \pi) - (-0 \cos 0 + \sin 0) \Big)
V=π((−π(−1)+0)−(0+0))V = \pi \Big( (-\pi(-1) + 0) - (0 + 0) \Big)
V=π2V = \pi^2

Answer

π2\pi^2

4(iii)

1. Calculate the volume of revolution of region $R$ from part (ii), as it is needed to find the volume of $S$.

Since the target relies on part (ii), we first calculate the volume of RR rotated about the xx-axis.
VR=π∫0π(xsin⁡x)2 dx=π∫0πxsin⁡x dxV_R = \pi \int_0^\pi (\sqrt{x \sin x})^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^\pi x \sin x \, dx

Using integration by parts, let u=xu = x and dv=sin⁡x dxdv = \sin x \, dx. Then du=dxdu = dx and v=−cos⁡xv = -\cos x:
∫0πxsin⁡x dx=[−xcos⁡x]0π−∫0π(−cos⁡x) dx\int_0^\pi x \sin x \, dx = \left[ -x \cos x \right]_0^\pi - \int_0^\pi (-\cos x) \, dx
=(−πcos⁡π−0)+[sin⁡x]0π=π(1)+0=π= (-\pi \cos \pi - 0) + \left[ \sin x \right]_0^\pi = \pi(1) + 0 = \pi

Thus, VR=π(π)=π2V_R = \pi(\pi) = \pi^2.

2. Formulate the integral for the volume of the solid generated by rotating region $S$.

Region SS is bounded above by y=πy = \sqrt{\pi}, below by the curve y=xsin⁡xy = \sqrt{x \sin x}, on the left by x=0x = 0 (the yy-axis), and on the right by x=πx = \pi.

When rotated through 4 right angles (360∘360^\circ or 2π2\pi radians) about the xx-axis, the volume VSV_S can be found using the washer method (outer volume minus inner volume):
VS=π∫0π((π)2−(xsin⁡x)2) dxV_S = \pi \int_0^\pi \left( (\sqrt{\pi})^2 - (\sqrt{x \sin x})^2 \right) \, dx
VS=π∫0π(π−xsin⁡x) dxV_S = \pi \int_0^\pi (\pi - x \sin x) \, dx

3. Evaluate the integral to find $V_S$.

Expanding the integral and substituting VRV_R:
VS=π∫0ππ dx−π∫0πxsin⁡x dxV_S = \pi \int_0^\pi \pi \, dx - \pi \int_0^\pi x \sin x \, dx
VS=π[πx]0π−VRV_S = \pi \left[ \pi x \right]_0^\pi - V_R
VS=π(π2−0)−π2V_S = \pi (\pi^2 - 0) - \pi^2
VS=π3−π2V_S = \pi^3 - \pi^2

Answer

π3−π2\pi^3 - \pi^2
