| Topic | Parametric integration |
| Type | Show integral then evaluate volume |
| Difficulty | Challenging +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. |

B1: For a fully correct integral in x or u with , dx or du , correct limits and bracketing.
May be implied by a fully correct (simplified or un simplified) integral in u
May be seen at any stage in the working following correct work.
The limits must be correct for the variable they are working in. So for an integral in u the limits must
be in radians

Condone a missing du. It can be implied if the substitution for dx has been attempted.
Condone missing brackets if the intention is clear.
A1: Correct simplified integral in terms of u including the π from correct working.
Allow recovery from missing brackets. No need for limits for this mark.
Condone a missing du. It can be implied if the substitution for dx has been attempted
B1: Correct limits for the integral found. Allow where seen, even in part (b) and even if not attached to
the integral. Must be in radians

dM1: Substitutes appropriate limits into their integral and subtracts either way round.
If the integral is in terms of u the limits must be in radians, not degrees.

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.
