Use symmetry for a half-turn and translate the rotation axis

The region RR is bounded by C:y=ex2C:y=e^{x^2} and y=4y=4.

(i) Find the exact volume when RR is rotated through two right angles about the y-axis.

(ii) Write down the equation of the curve obtained when CC is translated four units in the negative y-direction. Hence find the approximate volume of the solid formed when RR is rotated completely about y=4y=4.

Use different regions for area and revolution

The graph shows y=1/(1+x2)y=1/(1+x^2) and y=tan⁡xy=\tan x, where the source prints −π/2≤x≤π/2-\pi/2\le x\le\pi/2.

(i) Find the area bounded by the two curves and x=1x=1.

(ii) Find the volume generated when the region bounded by the two curves and the y-axis is rotated by 2π2\pi radians about the y-axis.

Reuse a substitution result in a circle-area problem

(i) Using x=sin⁡θx=\sin\theta, show that ∫01/21−x2 dx=π/12+3/8\int_0^{1/2}\sqrt{1-x^2}\,dx=\pi/12+\sqrt3/8. (ii) The circle x2+(y−1)2=1x^2+(y-1)^2=1 and the line y=1−3xy=1-\sqrt3x intersect at A=(1/2,1−3/2)A=(1/2,1-\sqrt3/2). Using part (i), find the exact area of the shaded region bounded by the circle, line and x-axis.
