The curve CC has equation y=ln⁡(2−∣x∣)y=\ln\left(2-\lvert x\rvert\right). The region RR is bounded by CC, the lines y=ln⁡2y=\ln 2, x=1x=1 and x=−1x=-1. Find the exact area of RR. The curve CC is defined parametrically by x=(1+t)2/3,y=ln⁡(t2)for t≤−1.x=(1+t)^{2/3},\qquad y=\ln(t^2)\qquad\text{for }t\le -1. Find the volume of the solid generated when the region enclosed by CC, the lines x=0x=0 and x=1x=1 and the x-axis is rotated 2π2\pi radians about the x-axis, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.

1. Set up the integral for the exact area, using symmetry about the y-axis to handle the absolute value.

The curve CC is symmetric about the yy-axis. For x≥0x \ge 0, ∣x∣=x|x| = x, so the curve equation simplifies to y=ln⁡(2−x)y = \ln(2-x).

The line y=ln⁡2y = \ln 2 is the upper boundary since ln⁡(2−x)≤ln⁡2\ln(2-x) \le \ln 2 for x∈[0,1]x \in [0, 1].

Therefore, the exact area of RR is given by:
Area=2∫01(ln⁡2−ln⁡(2−x)) dx\text{Area} = 2 \int_0^1 \left( \ln 2 - \ln(2-x) \right) \, dx

2. Use substitution to simplify the integral of $\ln(2-x)$.

Consider the integral ∫01ln⁡(2−x) dx\int_0^1 \ln(2-x) \, dx.
Use the substitution u=2−xu = 2-x, which gives dudx=−1  ⟹  du=−dx\frac{du}{dx} = -1 \implies du = -dx.

When x=0x = 0, u=2u = 2.
When x=1x = 1, u=1u = 1.

Applying the substitution:
∫01ln⁡(2−x) dx=∫21ln⁡(u) (−du)=∫12ln⁡u du\int_0^1 \ln(2-x) \, dx = \int_2^1 \ln(u) \, (-du) = \int_1^2 \ln u \, du

3. Evaluate the integral of $\ln u$ using integration by parts.

Evaluate ∫12ln⁡u du\int_1^2 \ln u \, du using integration by parts.
Let w=ln⁡u  ⟹  dwdu=1uw = \ln u \implies \frac{dw}{du} = \frac{1}{u}.
Let dv=1 du  ⟹  v=udv = 1 \, du \implies v = u.

∫12ln⁡u du=[uln⁡u]12−∫12u(1u) du\int_1^2 \ln u \, du = \left[ u \ln u \right]_1^2 - \int_1^2 u \left(\frac{1}{u}\right) \, du
=(2ln⁡2−1ln⁡1)−∫121 du= (2\ln 2 - 1\ln 1) - \int_1^2 1 \, du
=2ln⁡2−[u]12= 2\ln 2 - [u]_1^2
=2ln⁡2−(2−1)=2ln⁡2−1= 2\ln 2 - (2 - 1) = 2\ln 2 - 1

4. Calculate the final exact area of region $R$.

Substitute the evaluated integral back into the area equation:
Area=2[xln⁡2]01−2∫01ln⁡(2−x) dx\text{Area} = 2 \left[ x \ln 2 \right]_0^1 - 2 \int_0^1 \ln(2-x) \, dx
=2(ln⁡2)−2(2ln⁡2−1)= 2(\ln 2) - 2(2 \ln 2 - 1)
=2ln⁡2−4ln⁡2+2= 2\ln 2 - 4\ln 2 + 2
=2−2ln⁡2= 2 - 2\ln 2

Answer

2−2ln⁡22 - 2\ln 2

1. Find the Cartesian relationship by expressing $t$ in terms of $x$.

Given x=(1+t)2/3x = (1+t)^{2/3}, raising both sides to the power of 32\frac{3}{2} yields:
x3/2=(1+t)2=∣1+t∣x^{3/2} = \sqrt{(1+t)^2} = |1+t|
Since the domain is t≤−1t \le -1, we know 1+t≤01+t \le 0, so ∣1+t∣=−(1+t)|1+t| = -(1+t).
Thus, x3/2=−1−t  ⟹  t=−1−x3/2x^{3/2} = -1 - t \implies t = -1 - x^{3/2}.

2. Express $y$ in terms of $x$.

Substitute t=−1−x3/2t = -1 - x^{3/2} into the parametric equation for yy:
y=ln⁡(t2)=ln⁡((−1−x3/2)2)y = \ln(t^2) = \ln\left((-1 - x^{3/2})^2\right)
y=ln⁡((1+x3/2)2)=2ln⁡(1+x3/2)y = \ln\left((1 + x^{3/2})^2\right) = 2\ln(1 + x^{3/2})

3. Set up the definite integral for the volume of revolution.

The region is bounded by x=0x=0, x=1x=1, and the x-axis (y=0y=0). The volume of revolution about the x-axis is given by:
V=π∫01y2 dxV = \pi \int_0^1 y^2 \,dx
Substituting y=2ln⁡(1+x3/2)y = 2\ln(1+x^{3/2}) into the formula:
V=π∫01[2ln⁡(1+x3/2)]2 dx=4π∫01(ln⁡(1+x3/2))2 dxV = \pi \int_0^1 \left[ 2\ln(1+x^{3/2}) \right]^2 \,dx = 4\pi \int_0^1 \left(\ln(1+x^{3/2})\right)^2 \,dx

4. Evaluate the definite integral using a graphing calculator.

Using a graphing calculator to evaluate the definite integral:
∫01(ln⁡(1+x3/2))2 dx≈0.143592\int_0^1 \left(\ln(1+x^{3/2})\right)^2 \,dx \approx 0.143592
V=4π(0.143592)≈1.8044V = 4\pi (0.143592) \approx 1.8044
Rounding to 2 decimal places, V≈1.80V \approx 1.80.
