Exam questions on 5.12 Areas and volumes of revolution

  1. The curve CC has equation y=x2−4xy=x^2-4x.
    Use your GDC to find the total area enclosed between CC and the xx-axis for 0≤x≤60\le x\le6.2 marks
  2. For k>0k>0, the region RkR_k is enclosed by the curve y=xy=\sqrt{x}, the xx-axis and the line x=kx=k. The region is rotated through 360∘360^\circ about the xx-axis to form a solid of volume VV.
    Find the value of kk for which V=18πV=18\pi.2 marks
  3. The curve y=x2y=x^2 is drawn for x≥0x\ge0. Distances are in centimetres. The region SS is enclosed by the curve, the yy-axis and the line y=9y=9.
    The region SS is rotated through 360∘360^\circ about the yy-axis to model a bowl. Find the exact volume of the bowl.3 marks
