Question 1a
Consider the function defined by
Consider the function defined by
A curve with equation is such that
where is a real constant.
Given that the curve passes through the points and
, find
.
The diagram below shows the graph of the function which is defined by
The shaded region in the diagram is the region enclosed by the -axis and the graph of
. The three sub-parts of the shaded region are denoted by R, S and T, as shown.
(a) Find the value of
The diagram below depicts the design for a new company logo. The upper border of the logo is formed by a part of the curve with equation , while the lower border of the logo is formed by a part of the curve with equation
. As shown in the diagram, the logo is divided into a shaded part and an unshaded part by a part of the curve with equation
.
Find the percentage of the total area of the logo that is shaded.
The following diagram shows a part of the graph of the curve with equation , where
is a constant. The point marked A is the vertex of the curve. Region
is the region enclosed by the curve and the
-axis, for the part of the curve where
is non-negative. Region
is the region enclosed by the curve, the positive
-axis, and the line through point A with gradient zero.
When region is rotated
radians about the
-axis, the resultant solid of revolution has a volume equal to
.
The diagram below shows the cross-section of a goldfish bowl to be produced by Pieseize Manufacturing, a specialist company supplying products for goldfish enthusiasts.
The glass part of the bowl sits on a solid base, indicated by the shaded region on the diagram. The cross-section of the glass part of the bowl is symmetrical about the -axis, and may be described by the curve with equation
The dashed horizontal line represents the diameter of the open top of the fishbowl. The maximum depth of the fishbowl, measured along the -axis from the diameter of the open top to where the glass part of the bowl meets the base, is indicated by
in the diagram. All coordinates are expressed in centimetres, and for purposes of answering this question the thickness of the glass sides of the bowl may be regarded as negligible.
The owner of the company, Skodyn Pieseize, is extremely superstitious and is obsessed with the number 23. Therefore he insists that the capacity of the glass part of this new fishbowl must be exactly 23 litres. Find the value of that satisfies this requirement.
