  1. Find the exact volume of revolution when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
    1. Complete the table of values, and use the trapezium rule with 4 strips to estimate the area of the shaded region.
      \(x\)00.511.52
      \(y\)1.92832.89644.5919
    2. The trapezium rule for \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } \sqrt { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } } \mathrm {~d} x\) with 8 and 16 strips gives 6.797 and 6.823, although not necessarily in that order. Without doing the calculations, say which result is which, explaining your reasoning.

5 A curve has parametric equations \(x = \sec \theta , y = 2 \tan \theta\).
  1. Given that the derivative of \(\sec \theta\) is \(\sec \theta \tan \theta\), show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 2 \operatorname { cosec } \theta\).
  2. Verify that the cartesian equation of the curve is \(y ^ { 2 } = 4 x ^ { 2 } - 4\). Fig. 5 shows the region enclosed by the curve and the line \(x = 2\). This region is rotated through \(180 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. \begin{figure}[h]

1 The finite region enclosed by the line \(y = k x\), where \(k\) is a positive constant, the \(x\)-axis for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant h\), and the line \(x = h\) is rotated through 1 complete revolution about the \(x\)-axis. Prove by integration that the centroid of the resulting cone is at a distance \(\frac { 3 } { 4 } h\) from the origin \(O\).
[0pt] [The volume of a cone of height \(h\) and base radius \(r\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]

3 The equation of a curve is \(y = \lambda x ^ { 2 }\), where \(\lambda > 0\). The region bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = a\), where \(a > 0\), is denoted by \(R\). The \(y\)-coordinate of the centroid of \(R\) is \(a\). Show that \(\lambda = \frac { 10 } { 3 a }\).
