TopicParametric integration
TypeShow integral then evaluate volume
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard parametric integration question requiring a given substitution. Part (a) involves routine manipulation of the volume of revolution formula with the substitution tan u = √x, requiring chain rule differentiation and algebraic simplification. Part (b) is straightforward integration of 1/u². While the initial function looks complex, the substitution is provided and leads to a simple integrand. This is typical P4/FP2 material but more mechanical than insightful.

\includegraphics{figure_3} The curve \(C\), shown in Figure 3, has equation $$y = \frac{x^{-\frac{1}{4}}}{\sqrt{1+x}\left(\arctan\sqrt{x}\right)}$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by \(C\), the line with equation \(x = 3\), the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = \frac{1}{3}\) The region \(R\) is rotated through \(360°\) about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid. Using the substitution \(\tan u = \sqrt{x}\)
  1. show that the volume \(V\) of the solid formed is given by $$k \int_a^b \frac{1}{u^2} du$$ where \(k\), \(a\) and \(b\) are constants to be found. [6]
  2. Hence, using algebraic integration, find the value of \(V\) in simplest form. [3]

The curve $C$, shown in Figure 3, has equation

$$y = \frac{x^{-\frac{1}{4}}}{\sqrt{1+x}\left(\arctan\sqrt{x}\right)}$$

The region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by $C$, the line with equation $x = 3$, the $x$-axis and the line with equation $x = \frac{1}{3}$

The region $R$ is rotated through $360°$ about the $x$-axis to form a solid.

Using the substitution $\tan u = \sqrt{x}$

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item show that the volume $V$ of the solid formed is given by

$$k \int_a^b \frac{1}{u^2} du$$

where $k$, $a$ and $b$ are constants to be found.
[6]

\item Hence, using algebraic integration, find the value of $V$ in simplest form.
