TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeApplied context: real-world solid
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a standard volumes of revolution question requiring integration by parts twice (for the exponential-polynomial product), but the algebraic manipulation is substantial and error-prone. Part (a) is routine setup, but part (b) requires careful repeated integration by parts with e^(2x) terms. The final answer format adds minor complexity. Slightly above average difficulty for P4/Further Maths.

\end{figure} Figure 3 shows the design of a doorknob.
The shape of the doorknob is formed by rotating the curve shown in Figure 4 through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis, where the units are centimetres. The equation of the curve is given by $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( 4 - x ) \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 4$$
  1. Show that the volume, \(V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\), of the doorknob is given by $$V = K \int _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \left( x ^ { 2 } - 8 x + 16 \right) \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } \mathrm {~d} x$$ where \(K\) is a constant to be found.
  2. Hence, find the exact value of the volume of the doorknob. Give your answer in the form \(p \pi \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { q } + r \right) \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }\) where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are simplified rational numbers to be found.

Figure 3 shows the design of a doorknob.\\
The shape of the doorknob is formed by rotating the curve shown in Figure 4 through $360 ^ { \circ }$ about the $x$-axis, where the units are centimetres.

The equation of the curve is given by

$$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( 4 - x ) \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 4$$
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Show that the volume, $V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }$, of the doorknob is given by

$$V = K \int _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \left( x ^ { 2 } - 8 x + 16 \right) \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } \mathrm {~d} x$$

where $K$ is a constant to be found.
\item Hence, find the exact value of the volume of the doorknob.

Give your answer in the form $p \pi \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { q } + r \right) \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }$ where $p , q$ and $r$ are simplified rational numbers to be found.
