TopicParametric integration
TypeParametric surface area of revolution
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths parametric arc length and surface of revolution question requiring computation of √((dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²) and integration. The derivatives are straightforward (e^t - 4 and 4e^(t/2)), and the resulting integrand simplifies to a perfect square (e^t - 2e^(t/2))², making the integration routine. While it requires multiple steps and careful algebra, it follows a well-practiced template without requiring novel insight.

5 The curve \(C\) has parametric equations $$x = \mathrm { e } ^ { t } - 4 t + 3 , \quad y = 8 \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } t } , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2 .$$
  1. Find, in terms of e , the length of \(C\).
  2. Find, in terms of \(\pi\) and e , the area of the surface generated when \(C\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
