### Problem 3.1 1. **State the problem:** Find the point(s) of intersection of the curves $y = \cos x$ and $y = \frac{2x}{\pi} - 1$ on $0 \leq x \leq \pi$, determine which curve is upper on subintervals, and find the total enclosed area. 2. **Find the point of intersection:** Set the two functions equal: $$\cos x = \frac{2x}{\pi} - 1$$ Rearranged: $$\cos x + 1 = \frac{2x}{\pi}$$ Multiply both sides by $\pi$: $$\pi (\cos x + 1) = 2x$$ This transcendental equation is solved exactly by inspection or numerically. Check $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$: $$\cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0, \quad \frac{2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}}{\pi} - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0$$ Both sides equal 0, so the point of intersection is at: $$\boxed{\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, 0\right)}$$ 3. **Verify by substitution:** - For $y = \cos x$ at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$: $$y = \cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0$$ - For $y = \frac{2x}{\pi} - 1$ at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$: $$y = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}}{\pi} - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0$$ Both equal, confirming the intersection. 4. **Determine upper boundary on subintervals:** - On $[0, \frac{\pi}{2})$, test $x=0$: $$\cos 0 = 1, \quad \frac{2 \cdot 0}{\pi} - 1 = -1$$ Since $1 > -1$, $y=\cos x$ is upper. - On $(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi]$, test $x=\pi$: $$\cos \pi = -1, \quad \frac{2 \pi}{\pi} - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1$$ Since $1 > -1$, $y=\frac{2x}{\pi} - 1$ is upper. 5. **Calculate the enclosed area:** The total area is the sum of integrals of the difference of upper minus lower function on each subinterval: $$\text{Area} = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (\cos x - (\frac{2x}{\pi} - 1)) \, dx + \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \left(\frac{2x}{\pi} - 1 - \cos x\right) \, dx$$ 6. **Simplify integrands:** - First integral: $$\cos x - \frac{2x}{\pi} + 1$$ - Second integral: $$\frac{2x}{\pi} - 1 - \cos x$$ 7. **Evaluate first integral:** $$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos x \, dx - \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{2x}{\pi} \, dx + \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 \, dx$$ Calculate each: - $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos x \, dx = \sin x \big|_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = 1 - 0 = 1$ - $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{2x}{\pi} \, dx = \frac{2}{\pi} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} \big|_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \frac{1}{\pi} \cdot \left(\frac{\pi^2}{4}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}$ - $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2}$ Sum: $$1 - \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{2} = 1 + \frac{\pi}{4}$$ 8. **Evaluate second integral:** $$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \frac{2x}{\pi} \, dx - \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} 1 \, dx - \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \cos x \, dx$$ Calculate each: - $\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \frac{2x}{\pi} \, dx = \frac{2}{\pi} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} \big|_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} = \frac{1}{\pi} (\pi^2 - \frac{\pi^2}{4}) = \frac{1}{\pi} \cdot \frac{3\pi^2}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{4}$ - $\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} 1 \, dx = \pi - \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}$ - $\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} \cos x \, dx = \sin x \big|_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi} = 0 - 1 = -1$ Sum: $$\frac{3\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{2} - (-1) = \frac{3\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{2} + 1 = \frac{3\pi}{4} - \frac{2\pi}{4} + 1 = \frac{\pi}{4} + 1$$ 9. **Total enclosed area:** $$\text{Area} = \left(1 + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \left(\frac{\pi}{4} + 1\right) = 2 + \frac{\pi}{2}$$ ### Problem 3.2 1. **Describe the solid:** The region bounded by $y = x(6 - x)$, $y=0$, $x=1$, and $x=5$ is revolved about the vertical line $x = -2$. This generates a solid of revolution with circular cross-sections perpendicular to the axis of rotation. 2. **Integration method:** Use the **shell method** because the axis of rotation is vertical and the region is bounded in $x$. 3. **Set up the volume integral:** - Radius of shell at $x$ is distance from $x$ to axis $x = -2$: $$r = x - (-2) = x + 2$$ - Height of shell is $y = x(6 - x) = 6x - x^2$ - Volume: $$V = 2\pi \int_1^5 (\text{radius})(\text{height}) \, dx = 2\pi \int_1^5 (x + 2)(6x - x^2) \, dx$$ 4. **Expand integrand:** $$(x + 2)(6x - x^2) = 6x^2 - x^3 + 12x - 2x^2 = (6x^2 - 2x^2) + 12x - x^3 = 4x^2 + 12x - x^3$$ 5. **Evaluate integral:** $$V = 2\pi \int_1^5 (4x^2 + 12x - x^3) \, dx = 2\pi \left[ \frac{4x^3}{3} + 6x^2 - \frac{x^4}{4} \right]_1^5$$ Calculate each term at bounds: - At $x=5$: $$\frac{4 \cdot 125}{3} + 6 \cdot 25 - \frac{625}{4} = \frac{500}{3} + 150 - 156.25$$ - At $x=1$: $$\frac{4}{3} + 6 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{3} + 6 - 0.25$$ 6. **Compute difference:** $$\left(\frac{500}{3} + 150 - 156.25\right) - \left(\frac{4}{3} + 6 - 0.25\right) = \left(\frac{500}{3} - \frac{4}{3}\right) + (150 - 6) + (-156.25 + 0.25) = \frac{496}{3} + 144 - 156$$ Simplify: $$\frac{496}{3} + (144 - 156) = \frac{496}{3} - 12 = \frac{496}{3} - \frac{36}{3} = \frac{460}{3}$$ 7. **Final volume:** $$V = 2\pi \cdot \frac{460}{3} = \frac{920\pi}{3}$$ ### Problem 3.2c 1. **Rotation about y-axis:** The radius of the shell changes from $r = x + 2$ to $r = x$ (distance from $x$ to $x=0$). 2. **Volume integral:** $$V = 2\pi \int_1^5 x \cdot (6x - x^2) \, dx = 2\pi \int_1^5 (6x^2 - x^3) \, dx$$ ### Problem 3.3a 1. **Solid element dimensions:** For vertical strip at $x$, height is $y = \sqrt{x+1}$. 2. When rotated about x-axis, the radius of the disk is $r = y = \sqrt{x+1}$. ### Problem 3.3b 1. **Integration method:** Use the **disk method** because the solid is generated by rotating around the x-axis and the cross-sections perpendicular to x-axis are disks. 2. **Volume integral:** $$V = \pi \int_0^3 (\sqrt{x+1})^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^3 (x+1) \, dx$$ 3. **Evaluate integral:** $$V = \pi \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + x \right]_0^3 = \pi \left( \frac{9}{2} + 3 \right) = \pi \cdot \frac{15}{2} = \frac{15\pi}{2}$$ ### Problem 3.3c 1. **Rotation about $y = -1$:** The radius of disks changes to $r = y + 1 = \sqrt{x+1} + 1$. 2. **Integration method:** Still use the **disk method** because rotation is about a horizontal line parallel to x-axis. 3. **Justification:** The cross-section disks have radius equal to vertical distance from curve to line $y = -1$. --- **Final answers:** - 3.1a) Intersection at $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, 0\right)$ - 3.1b) $y=\cos x$ upper on $[0, \frac{\pi}{2})$, $y=\frac{2x}{\pi} - 1$ upper on $(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi]$ - 3.1c) Total enclosed area $= 2 + \frac{\pi}{2}$ - 3.2a) Solid of revolution generated by revolving region about vertical line $x=-2$ - 3.2b) Volume $= \frac{920\pi}{3}$ using shell method - 3.2c) Volume integral about y-axis: $V = 2\pi \int_1^5 x(6x - x^2) \, dx$ - 3.3a) Radius of disk $= \sqrt{x+1}$ - 3.3b) Volume $= \frac{15\pi}{2}$ using disk method - 3.3c) Rotation about $y=-1$ uses disk method with radius $r = \sqrt{x+1} + 1$
