The shaded region is bounded by the curve and the lines \(x = \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\) and \(y = 0\).
  1. Use the trapezium rule with two intervals to find an approximation to the area of the shaded region, giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Find the exact volume of the solid formed when the shaded region is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis.

The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve, the axes and the line \(x = \pi\).
  1. Use the trapezium rule with two intervals to find an approximation to the area of \(R\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. The region \(R\) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis. Without using a calculator, find the exact volume of the solid produced.

  1. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{e0e2a26b-d4d6-46ea-ac12-a882f3465e5e-2_579_785_1279_721} The diagram shows the curve \(y = \frac { 2 } { \sqrt { } x }\). The region \(R\), shaded in the diagram, is bounded by the curve and by the lines \(x = 1 , x = 5\) and \(y = 0\). The region \(R\) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact volume of the solid formed.
  2. Use Simpson's rule, with 4 strips, to find an approximate value for $$\int _ { 1 } ^ { 5 } \sqrt { } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) \mathrm { d } x ,$$ giving your answer correct to 3 decimal places.

The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 3\).
  1. Use Simpson's rule with six strips to estimate the area of the shaded region. The shaded region is rotated through four right angles about the \(x\)-axis.
  2. Show that the volume of the solid formed is \(\pi ( 3 - \ln 4 )\).
