Exam questions on Volumes of revolution and mean value

  1. The region RR is bounded by the curve y=x2y=x^2, the xx-axis and the line x=2x=2. Lengths are in centimetres.
    Only the part of RR with 1≤x≤21\le x\le2 is rotated through 2π2\pi radians about the xx-axis. Find the exact volume of the solid formed.2 marks
  2. The function f\mathrm{f} is defined by f(x)=3x2−2x\mathrm{f}(x)=3x^2-2x for 0≤x≤20\le x\le2.
    Find the mean value of f\mathrm{f} over the interval 1≤x≤21\le x\le2.2 marks
  3. The region RR is bounded by the curve y=12x+1y=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2x+1}}, the coordinate axes and the line x=4x=4.
    Show that when RR is rotated through 2π2\pi radians about the xx-axis, the volume of the solid formed is πln⁡3\pi\ln3.3 marks
