Question

The function f is defined by  f ( x ) = ( x 1 ) 2 x  ≥ 1 and the function g is defined by g ( x ) = x 2 + 1 x  ≥ 0.

The region R is bounded by the curves  y = f ( x ) y = g ( x )  and the lines  y = 0 x = 0 and  y = 9  as shown on the following diagram.

The shape of a clay vase can be modelled by rotating the region R through 360˚ about the y -axis.

Find the volume of clay used to make the vase.

Markscheme

* This question is from an exam for a previous syllabus, and may contain minor differences in marking or structure.

volume  = π 0 9 ( y 1 2 + 1 ) 2 d y π 1 9 ( y 1 ) d y       (M1)(M1)(M1)(A1)(A1)

Note: Award (M1) for use of formula for rotating about y -axis, (M1) for finding at least one inverse, (M1) for subtracting volumes, (A1)(A1)for each correct expression, including limits.
