View details
2 In this question you must show detailed reasoning. The finite region \(R\) is enclosed by the curve with equation \(y = \frac { 8 } { \sqrt { 16 + x ^ { 2 } } }\), the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 0\) and \(x = 4\). Region \(R\) is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact value of the volume generated. [4]

6 The equation of a plane \(\Pi\) is \(x - 2 y - z = 30\).
  1. Find the acute angle between the line \(\mathbf { r } = \left( \begin{array} { c } 3

    3
    2 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\Pi\).
  2. Determine the geometrical relationship between the line \(\mathbf { r } = \left( \begin{array} { l } 1
    4
    2 \end{array} \right) + \mu \left( \begin{array} { r } 3
    - 1
    5 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\Pi\).

  1. Use the Maclaurin series for \(\sin x\) to work out the series expansion of \(\sin x \sin 2 x \sin 4 x\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
  2. Hence find, in exact surd form, an approximation to the least positive root of the equation \(2 \sin x \sin 2 x \sin 4 x = x\).
