15 A typical tube of toothpaste measures 5.4 cm across the straight edge at the top and is 12 cm high. It contains 75 ml of toothpaste so it needs to have an internal volume of \(75 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\). Comment on the accuracy of the formula \(V = \frac { 2 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\), as given in line 41 , for the volume in this case. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}

\includegraphics{figure_3} Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation $$y = 3^x$$ The point \(P\) lies on \(C\) and has coordinates \((2, 9)\). The line \(l\) is a tangent to \(C\) at \(P\). The line \(l\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(Q\).
  1. Find the exact value of the \(x\) coordinate of \(Q\). [4]
The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(l\). This region \(R\) is rotated through \(360°\) about the \(x\)-axis.
  1. Use integration to find the exact value of the volume of the solid generated. Give your answer in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are exact constants. [You may assume the formula \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\) for the volume of a cone.] [6]

A segment of the line \(y = kx\) is rotated about the \(x\)-axis to generate a cone with vertex \(O\). The distance of \(O\) from the centre of the base of the cone is \(h\). The radius of the base of the cone is \(r\). \includegraphics{figure_15}
  1. Find \(k\) in terms of \(r\) and \(h\). [1 mark]
  2. Use calculus to prove that the volume of the cone is $$\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$$ [3 marks]
