In summary, integration is a mathematical process used to find the area under a curve and is the reverse of differentiation. The rate of change is a measure of how much a quantity is changing over time and can be represented by the derivative. The volume of revolution is calculated by using integration to find the area of a cross-section of a solid and then rotating it around an axis of revolution. These concepts have real-world applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. To improve understanding and skills in these areas, regular practice, seeking help when needed, and engaging with challenging problems and real-world applications are recommended.

Please Help! - Integration, Rate of Change, and Volume of Revolution Questions

Hi
I have completes these following questions but am not sure if I have done them correctly as it is a long time since i studied these topics. I would really appreciate any help. :-)

1 Simplify the following as far as Possible
(a) ∫4e2x dx (2 marks)
(b) ∫(4/x) dx between 1 and 3 (3 marks)
(c) ∫(3x+4)5 dx (2 marks)
(d) ∫((x/2)+1)2 dx (2 marks)

2 Find the area bound by the graph y=3/x, the lines y=1, y=3, and the y-axis (3 marks)

3 Find the Volume of the solid formed by the line y=ex+1 between 0≤x≤1 when it is rotated through 360 degrees about the x axis. Leave your answer in terms of e. ( 5 marks)

4
(a) The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 0.8mm/s. Find the rate at which the volume of the sphere is increasing when r=10mm. Leave your answer in terms of pi (3 marks)

(b) The Volume of the same sphere then starts to decrease at a rate of 27m3/s. Find the rate at which the radius is decreasing when the volume is 3m3
Leave your answer in terms of Pi. (5 marks)

My attempts at Solutions:

1
a) ∫4e2x dx
=(4/2)e2 X x2
= 2e2x2 +K

b) (4/x) = 4x-1
4x-1 dx
[4lnx] between 3 and 1
4ln(3) - 4ln(1)
4ln(3)
=4.39

c) ∫(3x+4)5 dx

= ∫243x5+1620x4+4320x3+5760x2+3072x

= (81/2)x6+324x5+1080x4+1920x3+1920x2+1024x +K

d) ∫((x/2)+1)2 dx
= ∫(x2/4)+x+1 dx
= (x3+6x2+12x)/12
= (x/12)3+(1/2x2)+x +K

2) ∫(between 1 and 3) of (3/x) dy
=∫(between 1 and 3) of 3x-1 dy
=[3x-1y] for 1 and 3
= (3x-1X3) - (3x-1)
= 9/x - 3/x
= 6/x +K

3) y=ex+1 0≤x≤1
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi y2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi (ex+1)2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of (e2x+2ex+1) dx
= Pi[1/2e2x+e2x+x] between 0 and 1
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - [1/2e0+e0+0]
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - [1+1+0]
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - 2
= 1/2e2Pi+e2Pi+Pi-2
= 3/2e2Pi+Pi-2


(I do not really know how to attempt the final rates of change question)
Thank You Everyone

∫eaxdx=(1/a)*eax +C

b) is correct though you shouldn't put it as 4x-1. As soon as you know you have to integrate 1/x with respect to x, just write ln(x). Putting it as 4x-1 sort of implies that you are going to integrate it in the traditional way.

c) looks correct, but there is an easier way to do it rather than having to expand it out. It is known as a substitution method.

∫(3x+4)5 dx

let t=3x+4 so dt/dx = 3 and so dx=dt/3

∴∫(3x+4)5 dx ≡ (1/3)∫t5 dt

and when you finish integrating you just replace t by 3x+4.

d) looks correct.

2) try this again

Your integral is supposed to be

[tex]\int_1 ^{3} x dy[/tex]

but we know that y= 3/x so what is x equal to?

3) When integrating e2x+2ex+1, why did you leave out the 2 in the next line?

4) we are told the radius is increasing at a rate of 0.8mm/s so dr/dt=+0.8mm/s. We want to get dV/dt

Using the chain rule we can get

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}= \frac{d?}{dt}\times{dV}{d?}[/tex]

and for a sphere how does one find the volume V?
what should the '?' be replaced given our information?

So for Q2, is it correct to say:

31∫x dy
y= 3/x so x=3/y
=31∫(3/y)dy
=31∫3lny
=3ln3-3ln1
=3ln3
=3.30

3 ln3 = ln 27 is the exact answer, but 3.30 is only a rough approximation. You should indicate that when you go from the exact answer to an approximation, like this:
[itex]3~ln 3~\approx~3.30[/itex]
 
  • #5


Yes but is it ln(27) or ln(27)+C
 
  • #6


For a definite integral, you don't need the constant of integration.

Do you agree that this is the correct solution for Question 3?

y=ex+1 0≤x≤1
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi y2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi (ex+1)2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of (e2x+2ex+1) dx
= Pi[1/2e2x+e2x+x] between 0 and 1
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - [1/2e0+e0+0]
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - [1+1+0]
= Pi[1/2e2+e2+1] - 2
= 1/2e2Pi+e2Pi+Pi-2
= 3/2e2Pi+Pi-2

Error in line below. Explanation below.

Can you take it from here? If you click on what I wrote, you can see the LaTeX script I wrote to format this stuff. You can copy it and paste it into what you're doing.

so is it:

y=ex+1 0≤x≤1
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi y2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of pi ((e^x)+1)2 dx
=∫(between 0 and 1) of (e^2x+2e^x+1) dx
= Pi[(1/2)e^2x+(2e)^x+x] between 0 and 1
= [1/2e^(2x)pi+(2e)^xpi+xpi] between 0 and 1
=((1/2e)^2pi+2epi+pi) - (1/2)pi+2pi)
= (1/2)e+2epi-(3/2)pi

Also does anybody know how to do that rate of change question?

This is very difficult to read with everything jammed together. Please try to format it so that it's easier to read.

I'm sure someone does. What have you tried to do on it?

Question 1: What is integration?

Integration is a mathematical process that involves finding the area under a curve. It is essentially the reverse of differentiation, which is used to find the slope of a curve at a specific point. Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus and is used to solve a variety of problems in physics, engineering, and other fields.

Question 2: What is the rate of change?

The rate of change is a measure of how much a quantity is changing over time. In calculus, it is represented by the derivative, which gives the instantaneous rate of change at a specific point on a curve. The rate of change can also be thought of as the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a given point.

Question 3: How is the volume of revolution calculated?

The volume of revolution is calculated by using integration to find the area of a cross-section of a solid and then rotating that area around an axis of revolution. This process is also known as the method of disks or the method of cylindrical shells. The resulting volume is the total amount of space enclosed by the solid.

Question 4: What are some real-world applications of integration, rate of change, and volume of revolution?

Integration, rate of change, and volume of revolution are used in a variety of real-world applications. In physics, they are used to solve problems involving motion, such as finding the position or velocity of an object at a given time. In engineering, they are used to calculate the amount of material needed for a specific design or to optimize the shape of a structure. They are also used in economics, biology, and many other fields.

Question 5: How can I improve my understanding and skills in integration, rate of change, and volume of revolution?

To improve your understanding and skills in integration, rate of change, and volume of revolution, it is important to practice regularly and seek help when needed. You can also read textbooks or watch online tutorials to supplement your learning. Additionally, working on challenging problems and seeking out real-world applications can help you develop a deeper understanding of these concepts.
