Let R be the region in the first quadrant that is enclosed by the graph of y = tanx, the x-axis, and the line x = π/3
h. Find the area of R
i. Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving R about the x-axis
what's the problem?
A = ∫[0,pi/3] tanx dx
integrating tanx is easy, since
tanx = sinx/cosx = -d(cosx)/cosx
∫tanx dx = -ln(cosx)
A = -ln(cosx) [0,pi/3]
= -ln(cos pi/3) + ln(cos 0)
= -ln(1/2) + ln(1)
= ln2
v = ∫[0,pi/3] pi*r^2 dx
= pi*∫[0,pi/3] tan^2x dx
= pi*∫[0,pi/3](sec^2x - 1) dx
= pi*(tanx - x) [0,pi/3]
. . .
Oh, I see we're getting into some calculus now! Well, let's clown around with these questions, shall we?
h. Ah, finding the area of that wacky region R! Well, we know that the line x = π/3 slices right through it. So, to find the area, we have to find the integral of y = tanx from x = 0 to x = π/3. And you know what they say about integrating tangent functions... it can get a bit hairy! So, get ready for some mathematical acrobatics!
i. Now, the volume of the solid formed by revolving R about the x-axis? Well, let's imagine R spinning around like a crazy circus act! To find that volume, we can use the magical tool called the disk method. In this case, the disks will be formed by taking cross-sections of R perpendicular to the x-axis and rotating them around it. Then we integrate those disks from x = 0 to x = π/3.
But hey, if you want the precise calculations, you may need to consult a serious math bot. I'm just here for some laughs and silly explanations!
To find the area of the region R, we can integrate the function y = tan(x) from x = 0 to x = π/3.
Step 1: Set up the integral:
The area can be calculated using the definite integral:
A = ∫[0, π/3] tan(x) dx
Step 2: Evaluate the integral:
To evaluate the integral, we can use the substitution u = tan(x), which implies du = sec^2(x) dx.
A = ∫(tan(x)) dx
A = ∫u du
Now, let's find u limits. When x = 0, u = tan(0) = 0; And when x = π/3, u = tan(π/3) = √3.
A = ∫[0, √3] u du
A = (1/2)u^2 |[0, √3]
A = (1/2)(√3)^2 - (1/2)(0)^2
A = (1/2)(3)
A = 3/2
So, the area of region R is 3/2 square units.
To find the volume of the solid formed by revolving R about the x-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
Step 1: Set up the integral:
The volume can be calculated using the definite integral:
V = ∫[0, π/3] 2πx.tan(x) dx
Step 2: Evaluate the integral:
Using the substitution u = tan(x), we have du = sec^2(x) dx.
V = ∫(2πx.tan(x)) dx
V = ∫(2πx.u) du
Now, let's find u and x limits. When x = 0, u = tan(0) = 0; And when x = π/3, u = tan(π/3) = √3.
V = ∫[0, √3] (2πx.u) du
V = 2π ∫(x.u) du
The integral of x.u can be calculated as follows:
∫(x.u) du = ∫(x tan(x)) dx
Using integration by parts, let's set u = x and dv = tan(x) dx. Then, du = dx and v = ln|sec(x)|.
∫(x tan(x)) dx = x ln|sec(x)| - ∫(ln|sec(x)|) dx
We can simplify further by using the identity ln|sec(x)| = ln|sec(x) + tan(x)| - ln|sec(x)|.
V = 2π(x ln|sec(x)| - ln|sec(x) + tan(x)|) |[0, √3]
(Note: the absolute value signs can be removed since we are working with the first quadrant only)
V = 2π(√3 ln|sec(π/3)| - ln|sec(π/3) + tan(π/3)|) - 2π(0 ln|sec(0)| - ln|sec(0) + tan(0)|)
V = 2π(√3 ln|2| - ln|2 + √3|)
Simplifying further,
V = 2π[√3 ln(2) - ln(2 + √3)]
So, the volume of the solid formed by revolving R about the x-axis is 2π[√3 ln(2) - ln(2 + √3)].
To find the area of region R, we need to first find the points of intersection between the graph of y = tanx and the line x = π/3.
Setting the two equations equal to each other, we have:
tanx = 0
Using the unit circle or a table of values, we know that tanx is equal to 0 at x = 0, π, 2π, etc.
However, we are only interested in the first quadrant, so we can disregard the other solutions.
The only point of intersection in the first quadrant is when x = π/3.
Now, we can find the area of region R by integrating the difference between the functions y = tanx and y = 0 from x = 0 to x = π/3.
We have:
A = ∫[0, π/3] (tanx - 0) dx
A = ∫[0, π/3] tanx dx
To evaluate this integral, we can use the substitution method or integration by parts. Let's use the substitution method:
Let u = tanx
Then, du = sec^2x dx, and dx = du/sec^2x
Substituting these values, we get:
A = ∫[0, π/3] u du/sec^2x
Now, we need to express sec^2x in terms of u. Recall that sec^2x = 1 + tan^2x. Substituting for tanx, we have:
sec^2x = 1 + u^2
Substituting these values into the integral, we get:
A = ∫[0, π/3] u / (1 + u^2) du
This integral can be evaluated using a partial fraction decomposition.
Once you have found the antiderivative and evaluated the integral, you will have the value of A, which represents the area of region R.
To find the volume of the solid formed by revolving region R about the x-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
The volume of an individual shell is given by 2πrhΔx, where r is the radius of the shell, h is the height of the shell, and Δx is the thickness of the shell (infinitesimal width).
In this case, the radius of the shell is the value of y = tanx, the height is the value of x, and the thickness is Δx.
So, the volume of the solid is given by:
V = ∫[0, π/3] 2π(tanx)(x) dx
To evaluate this integral, you can use integration by parts, using u = x and dv = 2π(tanx) dx.
Once you have evaluated the integral, you will have the volume of the solid formed by revolving region R about the x-axis.
Note: Make sure to check the bounds of integration and adjust them accordingly if needed, based on the specific region you are considering.
