TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeMulti-part: volume and area
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward volumes of revolution question requiring standard integration techniques. Part (i) involves integrating a simple algebraic function (power of linear expression), and part (ii) applies the standard formula V = π∫y² dx. The algebra is clean with the square eliminating the square root, making this slightly easier than a typical C3 question.

The point \(P\) on the curve has coordinates \(\left( 20 , \frac { 1 } { 9 } \sqrt { 3 } \right)\). The shaded region \(R\) is enclosed by the curve and the lines \(x = 0\) and \(y = \frac { 1 } { 9 } \sqrt { 3 }\).
  1. Find the exact area of \(R\).
  2. Find the exact volume of the solid obtained when \(R\) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis.

Integrate to obtain \(k(4x+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\) or \(ku^{\frac{1}{2}}\)*M1 any constant \(k\)
Obtain correct \(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}(4x+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}u^{\frac{1}{2}}\)A1 or exact equiv
Apply limits 0 and 20 and attempt subtraction of area of rectangle (or limits 1 and 81 if \(u\) involved)M1 dep *M; or equiv such as including term \(-\frac{1}{9}\sqrt{3}\) in the integration or finding \(\int \frac{1}{9}\sqrt{3}\,dx\) separately; allow M1 if decimal values used here. Alternative (region between curve and \(y\)-axis): Obtain equation \(x = \frac{3}{4}y^{-2} - \frac{1}{4}\) B1; Integrate to obtain form \(k_1 y^{-1} + k_2 y\) *M1; Apply limits \(\frac{1}{9}\sqrt{3}\) and \(\sqrt{3}\) the right way round M1 d*M; Obtain \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{8}{36}\sqrt{3}\) or better A1
Obtain \(4\sqrt{3} - \frac{20}{9}\sqrt{3}\) and hence \(\frac{16}{9}\sqrt{3}\)A1 answer must be exact and a single term; \(\frac{16}{9}\sqrt{3} + c\) as answer is final A0
