TopicParametric integration
TypeParametric surface area of revolution
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This question requires computing arc length using the parametric formula, then surface of revolution. The arc length integral simplifies nicely (√(t²(t²+4) + t²(4-t²)) = 2t), making it manageable. The surface of revolution integral ∫2πy√((dx/dt)²+(dy/dt)²)dt requires finding y by integration and careful algebraic manipulation. While technically demanding with multiple steps and requiring confidence with parametric calculus, the integrals are standard Further Maths fare without requiring novel insight.
Spec4.08d Volumes of revolution: about x and y axes

3 At any point \(( x , y )\) on the curve \(C\), $$\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } = t \sqrt { } \left( t ^ { 2 } + 4 \right) \quad \text { and } \quad \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - t \sqrt { } \left( 4 - t ^ { 2 } \right)$$ where the parameter \(t\) is such that \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2\). Show that the length of \(C\) is \(4 \sqrt { } 2\). Given that \(y = 0\) when \(t = 2\), determine the area of the surface generated when \(C\) is rotated through one complete revolution about the \(x\)-axis, leaving your answer in an exact form.

\(\frac{ds}{dt} = \sqrt{t(t^2 + 4) + t^2(4-t)} = \sqrt{8t^2} = 2\sqrt{2}t\)B1
\(s = 2\sqrt{2} \int_0^t tdt = 2\sqrt{2}[t^2]_0 = 4\sqrt{2}\) (AG)M1A1
[3]
\(y = (1/3)(4-t^2)^{3/2}\)B1
\(S = +2\pi/3 \int_0^2 2\sqrt{2t(4-t^2)^{3/2}}dt\)M1
\(= ... = [-(4\sqrt{2\pi}/15)(4-t^2)^{5/2}]_0\)A1
\(= 128\sqrt{2\pi}/15\)A1

$\frac{ds}{dt} = \sqrt{t(t^2 + 4) + t^2(4-t)} = \sqrt{8t^2} = 2\sqrt{2}t$ | B1 |

$s = 2\sqrt{2} \int_0^t tdt = 2\sqrt{2}[t^2]_0 = 4\sqrt{2}$ (AG) | M1A1 |

$y = (1/3)(4-t^2)^{3/2}$ | B1 |

$S = +2\pi/3 \int_0^2 2\sqrt{2t(4-t^2)^{3/2}}dt$ | M1 |

$= ... = [-(4\sqrt{2\pi}/15)(4-t^2)^{5/2}]_0$ | A1 |

$= 128\sqrt{2\pi}/15$ | A1 |

3 At any point $( x , y )$ on the curve $C$,

$$\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } = t \sqrt { } \left( t ^ { 2 } + 4 \right) \quad \text { and } \quad \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - t \sqrt { } \left( 4 - t ^ { 2 } \right)$$

where the parameter $t$ is such that $0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2$. Show that the length of $C$ is $4 \sqrt { } 2$.

Given that $y = 0$ when $t = 2$, determine the area of the surface generated when $C$ is rotated through one complete revolution about the $x$-axis, leaving your answer in an exact form.
