Challenging +1.8 This is a Further Maths parametric question requiring arc length and surface of revolution formulas with exponential-trigonometric functions. While the derivatives and integration are moderately complex (involving product rule and exponential integrals), the structure is standard for FP1 and follows directly from formula application. The exponential factors simplify nicely, making this challenging but not exceptional for Further Maths students.
A curve \(C\) has parametric equations
$$x = \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 t } \cos 2 t , \quad y = \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 t } \sin 2 t , \quad \text { for } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi \leqslant t \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi .$$
Find the arc length of \(C\).
Find the area of the surface generated when \(C\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
\(\Rightarrow S = 4\sqrt{2}\pi\cdot\frac{e^{2\pi}-e^{-2\pi}}{10} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}\pi}{5}(e^{2\pi}-e^{-2\pi})\) or \(\frac{4\sqrt{2}\pi}{5}\sinh 2\pi\) or \(952\) (3sf)
\(\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix}1\\-2\\2\\-1\end{pmatrix}+\lambda\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}+\mu\begin{pmatrix}2\\1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}\) since \(\mathbf{M}\begin{pmatrix}1\\-2\\2\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}15\\33\\66\\81\end{pmatrix}\) and \(\mathbf{M}\left[\lambda\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}+\mu\begin{pmatrix}2\\1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}\right]=0\)
B1\(\checkmark\) [2]
Sum of components \(= 6 \Rightarrow 3\lambda+3\mu=6 \Rightarrow \mu=2-\lambda\)
B1\(\checkmark\)
Sum of squares of components \(= 26 \Rightarrow 5\mu^2+4\lambda\mu+4\lambda^2+3\lambda^2+10=26\) \(\Rightarrow 4\lambda^2-8\lambda+4=0 \Rightarrow (\lambda-1)^2=0\)
