Problem
In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
The curve shown in Figure 1 has equation
y=x+24x>−2
The region R, bounded by the curve, the y-axis, the x-axis and the line with equation x=8 is shown shaded in Figure 1.
Region R is rotated through 360 degrees about the x-axis.
Use calculus to find the exact value of the volume of the solid generated, writing your answer in simplest form.

本题必须写出全部解题步骤。
不接受完全依赖计算器技术的解法。
图 1 所示曲线的方程为
y=x+24x>−2
阴影部分区域 R 由该曲线、y 轴、x 轴以及直线 x=8 围成,如图 1 所示。
将区域 R 绕 x 轴旋转 360 度。
用微积分求所生成立体的体积精确值,并将答案写成最简形式。

解法一
思路
展开
绕 x 轴旋转的体积为 π∫y2dx。先将 y2 写成幂函数,积分后代入两个边界,保留精确的 π。
答题过程
展开
For rotation about the x-axis,
V=π∫08y2dx.
Since y=4/(x+2),
y2=V=16(x+2)−2,16π∫08(x+2)−2dx.
Integrating gives
∫(x+2)−2dx=−(x+2)−1+C.
Therefore
V====16π[−(x+2)−1]0816π(−101+21)16π⋅52532π.
也可令 u=x+2,上下限变为 2 和 10,得到 16π∫210u−2du;这只是同一积分的变量改写。
