TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeVolume with numerical methods
DifficultyModerate -0.3 Part (a) is a straightforward volume of revolution requiring the standard formula V = π∫y²dx with a simple function that integrates easily to give 8π. Part (b) is routine application of Simpson's rule with clear strip width. Both parts are standard textbook exercises requiring only direct application of learned techniques, making this slightly easier than average but not trivial due to the two-part structure and need for careful arithmetic.

The region \(R\), shaded in the diagram, is bounded by the curve and by the lines \(x = 1 , x = 5\) and \(y = 0\). The region \(R\) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact volume of the solid formed.
  2. Use Simpson's rule, with 4 strips, to find an approximate value for $$\int _ { 1 } ^ { 5 } \sqrt { } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) \mathrm { d } x ,$$ giving your answer correct to 3 decimal places.
