Worked solution
4(i)
1. Rewrite the integral using the double-angle identity to eliminate the squared trigonometric term.
2. Apply integration by parts to evaluate $\int x \cos 2x \, dx$.
Let , and .
3. Evaluate the remaining polynomial integral and combine terms with the constant of integration.
Substituting the pieces back into the expanded expression:
4(ii)
1. Set up the integral for the volume of revolution about the $x$-axis.
2. Evaluate the indefinite integral $\int x \sin x \, dx$ using integration by parts.
Let
Let
3. Apply the limits of integration to calculate the exact volume.
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 rotated about the -axis.
Using integration by parts, let and . Then and :
Thus, .
2. Formulate the integral for the volume of the solid generated by rotating region $S$.
Region is bounded above by , below by the curve , on the left by (the -axis), and on the right by .
When rotated through 4 right angles ( or radians) about the -axis, the volume can be found using the washer method (outer volume minus inner volume):
3. Evaluate the integral to find $V_S$.
Expanding the integral and substituting :
