Couple Calculus Problems (Mostly Solid Revolutions)

In summary: The area is infinite.6. In summary, the conversation covers finding volumes and areas of solids generated by revolving regions around different axes. It also discusses the possibility of writing a function as the product of two differentiable functions and a proof involving the Mean Value Theorem.

1. Find the vol. of a solid generated by revolving the region bounded by [tex]y = 0[/tex] and [tex] = \frac {1}{\sqrt {x}}[/tex] for [tex]1 \le x \le 2[/tex] about the line [tex]y = - 1[/tex]
2. Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the lines [tex]x=0[/tex], [tex]y = 0[/tex], [tex]x = 1[/tex], and the curve [tex]y = e^{x^{2}}[/tex]. about the [tex]y[/tex] - axis
3. Can you write the func. [tex]f(x) = x[/tex] as the product of two differentiable functions ([tex]g(x)[/tex] and [tex]h(x)[/tex]) if [tex]g(0) = h(0) = 0[/tex].
4. Show that if
[tex]\frac {a_{0}}{1} + \frac {a_{1}}{2} + ... + \frac {a_{n}}{n + 1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{0} + a_{1}x + ... + a_{n}x^{n} = 0[/tex]
for some x in [tex][0,1][/tex]
5. Find the area bounded by [tex]y = \sqrt {x}[/tex], [tex]\frac {1}{x}[/tex], [tex]\frac {1}{x^{2}}[/tex]
6. The region in the first quadrant bounded by [tex]x = 2[/tex] and [tex]y = 4[/tex] and [tex]x^{2} = 4y[/tex] is revolved around the [tex]y[/tex]-axis. Find the volume.


Attempts at solution (so far)
3. Yes. But I don't know how to show this. It's true for $x^{\frac {1}{2}}$ and $x^{\frac {1}{2}}$ or $x^{\frac {1}{3}}$ and $x^{\frac {2}{3}}$.

4. Let f(x) = a_0 + a_1x + ... + a_nx^n. Then, by the Mean Value Theorem, there exists c between 0 and 1 such that f'(c) = \frac {f(1) - f(0)}{1-0} = \frac {a_0 + a_1 + ... + a_n}{n+1}. But since f'(c) = a_0 + 2a_1c +...+ na_nc^{n-1}, it follows that a_0 + a_1 + ... + a_n = (n+1)(a_0 + 2a_1c + ... + na_nc^{n-1}). Therefore, a_0 + a_1x + ... + a_nx^n = 0 where x=c.
 

Related to Couple Calculus Problems (Mostly Solid Revolutions)

1. What is the purpose of using calculus in solving couple calculus problems?

Calculus is used to calculate the volume of a solid generated by the rotation of a two-dimensional region around a given axis. This is known as the method of solid revolution and is commonly used in physics and engineering to solve problems involving rotating objects.

2. How do you determine the limits of integration for a couple calculus problem?

The limits of integration are determined by setting up an integral that represents the volume of the solid of revolution. The lower limit is the starting point of the region of rotation and the upper limit is the ending point. These limits can be determined by graphing the region or using geometric formulas.

3. What is the difference between the disk method and the shell method in couple calculus problems?

The disk method is used when the region of rotation is perpendicular to the axis of revolution, while the shell method is used when the region of rotation is parallel to the axis of revolution. The disk method involves slicing the region into thin disks, while the shell method involves slicing the region into thin cylindrical shells.

4. How do you handle regions of rotation that intersect or overlap in couple calculus problems?

In cases where the regions of rotation intersect or overlap, the integral must be split into multiple integrals and the limits of integration must be adjusted accordingly. Each individual region must be solved separately and then the results can be added together to find the total volume.

5. What are some real-world applications of couple calculus problems?

Couple calculus problems have many applications in real life situations, such as calculating the volume of a water tank, determining the mass and volume of an object with varying density, and finding the moment of inertia of a rotating object. They are also used in engineering and physics to analyze and design rotating machinery and structures.
