TopicIntegration by Substitution
TypeVolume of revolution with substitution
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 Part (a) requires executing a guided substitution with careful differentiation of u = 4x + 2sin(2x) to get du = (4 + 4cos(2x))dx = 8cos²x dx, then evaluating limits—this is a standard P4/FP2 technique with moderate algebraic manipulation. Part (b) is straightforward application of the volume formula V = π∫y² dx once part (a) is complete. The question is harder than basic C3/C4 integration but represents a typical Further Maths pure question with clear guidance, placing it slightly above average difficulty.

  1. (a) Using the substitution \(u = 4 x + 2 \sin 2 x\), or otherwise, show that
$$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 2 } } \mathrm { e } ^ { 4 x + 2 \sin 2 x } \cos ^ { 2 } x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 8 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 \pi } - 1 \right)$$ Figure 3 The curve shown in Figure 3, has equation $$y = 6 \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x + \sin 2 x } \cos x$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the positive \(x\)-axis, the positive \(y\)-axis and the curve. The region \(R\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid.
(b) Use the answer to part (a) to find the volume of the solid formed, giving the answer in simplest form.
