Q1MEDIUMCOREarea between curves: integrating in $x$ and in $y$曲线间面积:关于$x$与$y$的积分[6 marks]

Region $R$ enclosed by $y=4-x^{2}$ and $y=x+2$: (a) area integral in $x$; (b) rewrite as integral in $y$.$y=4-x^{2}$与$y=x+2$围成的区域$R$:(a) 关于$x$的面积积分;(b) 改写为关于$y$的积分。

Answers:答案:  (a) $A = \displaystyle\int_{-2}^{1}(2-x-x^{2})\,dx = \dfrac{9}{2}$  ·  (b) $A = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{3}\!\left[(y-2)-(-\sqrt{4-y})\right]dy + \displaystyle\int_{3}^{4}\!2\sqrt{4-y}\,dy = \dfrac{9}{2}$

(a) Intersection points and $x$-integral(a) 交点与关于$x$的积分 M1·A1·A1

Set the curves equal to locate the intersection points: $4-x^{2}=x+2$, so $x^{2}+x-2=(x+2)(x-1)=0$, giving $x=-2$ and $x=1$. (M1) On the interval $(-2,1)$ test $x=0$: the parabola gives $4$ and the line gives $2$, so $y=4-x^{2}$ lies above $y=x+2$.令两曲线相等以求交点:$4-x^{2}=x+2$,故$x^{2}+x-2=(x+2)(x-1)=0$,得$x=-2$与$x=1$。(M1) 在区间$(-2,1)$上取$x=0$验证:抛物线给出$4$,直线给出$2$,故$y=4-x^{2}$在$y=x+2$上方。

$$A = \int_{-2}^{1}\!\bigl[(4-x^{2})-(x+2)\bigr]\,dx = \int_{-2}^{1}(2-x-x^{2})\,dx.$$

Evaluate: $\left[2x-\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}-\dfrac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{-2}^{1} = \!\left(2-\tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{1}{3}\right)-\!\left(-4-2+\tfrac{8}{3}\right) = \tfrac{7}{6}-\!\left(-6+\tfrac{8}{3}\right) = \tfrac{7}{6}+\tfrac{10}{3} = \tfrac{7}{6}+\tfrac{20}{6} = \dfrac{9}{2}.$ (A1·A1)计算:$\left[2x-\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}-\dfrac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{-2}^{1} = \!\left(2-\tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{1}{3}\right)-\!\left(-4-2+\tfrac{8}{3}\right) = \tfrac{7}{6}-\!\left(-6+\tfrac{8}{3}\right) = \tfrac{7}{6}+\tfrac{10}{3} = \tfrac{7}{6}+\tfrac{20}{6} = \dfrac{9}{2}.$ (A1·A1)

(b) Rewrite boundary curves in $y$(b) 将边界曲线用$y$表示 M1·A1·A1

The region $R$ spans $y\in[0,4]$: the lowest point of the enclosed boundary is the intersection at $(-2,0)$ ($y=0$), and the highest point is the top of the parabola at $(0,4)$ ($y=4$). (M1) The parabola $y=4-x^{2}$ gives two branches: $x=\sqrt{4-y}$ (right) and $x=-\sqrt{4-y}$ (left). The line gives $x=y-2$.区域$R$的$y$范围为$[0,4]$:围合边界的最低点为交点$(-2,0)$($y=0$),最高点为抛物线顶点$(0,4)$($y=4$)。(M1) 抛物线$y=4-x^{2}$给出两个分支:$x=\sqrt{4-y}$(右侧)和$x=-\sqrt{4-y}$(左侧)。直线给出$x=y-2$。

A horizontal slice at height $y$ must satisfy $y\ge x+2$ (above the line, i.e. $x\le y-2$) and $y\le 4-x^{2}$ (below the parabola, i.e. $-\sqrt{4-y}\le x\le\sqrt{4-y}$). Combining:在高度$y$处的水平切片需满足$y\ge x+2$(直线上方,即$x\le y-2$)与$y\le 4-x^{2}$(抛物线下方,即$-\sqrt{4-y}\le x\le\sqrt{4-y}$)。综合得:

  • For $y\in[0,3]$: $y-2\le\sqrt{4-y}$, so the right boundary is the line $x=y-2$ and the left boundary is the left parabola branch $x=-\sqrt{4-y}$.当$y\in[0,3]$时:$y-2\le\sqrt{4-y}$,故右边界为直线$x=y-2$,左边界为抛物线左支$x=-\sqrt{4-y}$。
  • For $y\in[3,4]$: $y-2\ge\sqrt{4-y}$, so both boundaries are parabola branches: right $x=\sqrt{4-y}$, left $x=-\sqrt{4-y}$.当$y\in[3,4]$时:$y-2\ge\sqrt{4-y}$,故两侧边界均为抛物线分支:右支$x=\sqrt{4-y}$,左支$x=-\sqrt{4-y}$。

Hence the area integral in $y$ requires a split: (A1 for identifying the split at $y=3$, A1 for correct integrands and limits)因此关于$y$的面积积分需要分段:(A1 识别在$y=3$处分段,A1 被积函数与积分上下限正确)

$$A = \int_{0}^{3}\!\Bigl[(y-2)-(-\sqrt{4-y})\Bigr]\,dy + \int_{3}^{4}\!\Bigl[\sqrt{4-y}-(-\sqrt{4-y})\Bigr]\,dy$$ $$= \int_{0}^{3}(y-2+\sqrt{4-y})\,dy + \int_{3}^{4}2\sqrt{4-y}\,dy.$$

Verification: $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{3}(y-2)\,dy+\int_{0}^{3}\sqrt{4-y}\,dy = -\tfrac{3}{2}+\tfrac{14}{3}=\tfrac{19}{6}$; $\displaystyle\int_{3}^{4}2\sqrt{4-y}\,dy=\tfrac{4}{3}$; total $=\tfrac{19}{6}+\tfrac{4}{3}=\tfrac{27}{6}=\tfrac{9}{2}$. ✓验证:$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{3}(y-2)\,dy+\int_{0}^{3}\sqrt{4-y}\,dy = -\tfrac{3}{2}+\tfrac{14}{3}=\tfrac{19}{6}$;$\displaystyle\int_{3}^{4}2\sqrt{4-y}\,dy=\tfrac{4}{3}$;合计$=\tfrac{19}{6}+\tfrac{4}{3}=\tfrac{27}{6}=\tfrac{9}{2}$。✓

Insight.思路点拨。 When switching to $y$-integration, the $y$-range of the region is NOT simply $[y_{\text{intersection,1}},\, y_{\text{intersection,2}}]$. Here the curves intersect at $y=0$ and $y=3$, but the parabola rises to $y=4$, so the region extends to $y=4$. The boundary assignment changes at $y=3$: below that level the line caps the region on the right, while above it both sides of the parabola form the boundary. Always determine the full $y$-range of the region and check whether the identity of the left/right boundary changes anywhere in that range.改为关于$y$积分时,区域的$y$范围并非简单地为$[y_{\text{交点1}},\, y_{\text{交点2}}]$。此处曲线在$y=0$与$y=3$处相交,但抛物线延伸至$y=4$,故区域延伸至$y=4$。边界的归属在$y=3$处发生变化:在此高度以下,直线从右侧限制区域;在此高度以上,抛物线两支构成边界。务必确定区域的完整$y$范围,并检查左右边界的归属是否在该范围内发生变化。
Q2MEDIUMCOREarea requiring a split: curves that cross需要分段的面积:相交的曲线[6 marks]

$y=\sin x$ and $y=\cos x$ on $\left[0,\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$: (a) intersections and sign of gap; (b) total area as a sum of integrals.$\left[0,\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$上的$y=\sin x$与$y=\cos x$:(a) 交点与差值符号;(b) 总面积表示为积分之和。

Answers:答案:  (a) $x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$ and $x=\tfrac{5\pi}{4}$  ·  (b) $4\sqrt{2}-2$

(a) Intersections and relative position(a) 交点与相对位置 M1·A1

$\sin x = \cos x \Rightarrow \tan x=1$, so $x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}+k\pi$. On $\left[0,\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$ these are $x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$ and $x=\tfrac{5\pi}{4}$. (M1) Test values: at $x=0$, $\cos 0=1>\sin 0=0$, so $\cos x>\sin x$ on $\left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right)$; at $x=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$, $\sin>0=\cos$, so $\sin x>\cos x$ on $\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4},\tfrac{5\pi}{4}\right)$; at $x=\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$, $\cos(-60^{\circ})=\tfrac{1}{2}>-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin$, so $\cos x>\sin x$ on $\left(\tfrac{5\pi}{4},\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$. (A1)$\sin x = \cos x \Rightarrow \tan x=1$,故$x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}+k\pi$。在$\left[0,\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$上这些点为$x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$和$x=\tfrac{5\pi}{4}$。(M1) 取验证值:在$x=0$处,$\cos 0=1>\sin 0=0$,故$\left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right)$上$\cos x>\sin x$;在$x=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$处,$\sin>\cos=0$,故$\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4},\tfrac{5\pi}{4}\right)$上$\sin x>\cos x$;在$x=\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$处,$\cos(-60^{\circ})=\tfrac{1}{2}>-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin$,故$\left(\tfrac{5\pi}{4},\tfrac{3\pi}{2}\right]$上$\cos x>\sin x$。(A1)

(b) Total area as a sum and evaluation(b) 总面积的积分之和与计算 M1·A1·A1·A1

Total area $= \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/4}(\cos x-\sin x)\,dx + \int_{\pi/4}^{5\pi/4}(\sin x-\cos x)\,dx + \int_{5\pi/4}^{3\pi/2}(\cos x-\sin x)\,dx.$ (M1)总面积 $= \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/4}(\cos x-\sin x)\,dx + \int_{\pi/4}^{5\pi/4}(\sin x-\cos x)\,dx + \int_{5\pi/4}^{3\pi/2}(\cos x-\sin x)\,dx.$ (M1)

Antiderivative of $\cos x-\sin x$ is $\sin x+\cos x$; antiderivative of $\sin x-\cos x$ is $-\cos x-\sin x$.$\cos x-\sin x$的原函数为$\sin x+\cos x$;$\sin x-\cos x$的原函数为$-\cos x-\sin x$。

First integral: $\bigl[\sin x+\cos x\bigr]_{0}^{\pi/4} = \bigl(\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr)-(0+1) = \sqrt{2}-1.$ (A1)第一个积分:$\bigl[\sin x+\cos x\bigr]_{0}^{\pi/4} = \bigl(\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr)-(0+1) = \sqrt{2}-1.$ (A1)

Second integral: $\bigl[-\cos x-\sin x\bigr]_{\pi/4}^{5\pi/4} = \bigl(\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr)-\bigl(-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr) = \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}.$第二个积分:$\bigl[-\cos x-\sin x\bigr]_{\pi/4}^{5\pi/4} = \bigl(\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr)-\bigl(-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr) = \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}.$

Third integral: $\bigl[\sin x+\cos x\bigr]_{5\pi/4}^{3\pi/2} = (-1+0)-\bigl(-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr) = -1+\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}-1.$第三个积分:$\bigl[\sin x+\cos x\bigr]_{5\pi/4}^{3\pi/2} = (-1+0)-\bigl(-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\bigr) = -1+\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}-1.$

Total $= (\sqrt{2}-1)+2\sqrt{2}+(\sqrt{2}-1) = 4\sqrt{2}-2.$ (A1)合计 $= (\sqrt{2}-1)+2\sqrt{2}+(\sqrt{2}-1) = 4\sqrt{2}-2.$ (A1)

Insight.思路点拨。 Area between curves is always $\int|f-g|\,dx$, and the absolute value forces you to split at every crossing point. Omitting either interior crossing here would produce a net signed area, which can be less than any one piece, giving a nonsensically small answer. The antiderivative $[\sin x+\cos x]$ or $[-\cos x-\sin x]$ follows immediately from the sign convention on each sub-interval; there is no need to recompute from scratch for each piece.曲线间面积始终为$\int|f-g|\,dx$,绝对值要求在每个交点处分段。此处若漏掉任一内部交点,将得到有符号的净面积,其值可能小于任何一段的面积,从而给出不合理的小结果。每个子区间上的原函数$[\sin x+\cos x]$或$[-\cos x-\sin x]$直接由符号约定给出,无需对每段重新推导。
Q3HARDCOREwasher method: revolution about the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis垫圈法:绕$x$轴与$y$轴旋转[8 marks]

Region $R$ bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$, $y=0$, $x=4$: (a) disk about $x$-axis; (b) washer about $y$-axis integrating in $y$.由$y=\sqrt{x}$、$y=0$、$x=4$围成的区域$R$:(a) 绕$x$轴的圆盘法;(b) 绕$y$轴的垫圈法(关于$y$积分)。

Answers:答案:  (a) $8\pi$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{128\pi}{5}$

(a) Disk method about the $x$-axis(a) 绕$x$轴的圆盘法 M1·A1·A1

Each cross-section perpendicular to the $x$-axis is a disk with radius $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and area $\pi(\sqrt{x})^{2}=\pi x$. (M1)垂直于$x$轴的每个截面是半径为$f(x)=\sqrt{x}$、面积为$\pi(\sqrt{x})^{2}=\pi x$的圆盘。(M1)

$$V = \pi\int_{0}^{4} x\,dx = \pi\!\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{4} = \pi\cdot 8 = 8\pi.$$

(A1·A1) The volume $8\pi$ is positive and dimensionally consistent with a solid of diameter $2\sqrt{4}=4$, confirming the order of magnitude. ✓(A1·A1)体积$8\pi$为正,与直径$2\sqrt{4}=4$的旋转体在数量级上一致,结果合理。✓

(b) Washer method about the $y$-axis, integrating in $y$(b) 绕$y$轴的垫圈法,关于$y$积分 M1·M1·A1·A1·A1

Rewrite the boundary in terms of $y$. The curve $y=\sqrt{x}$ becomes $x=y^{2}$; the line $x=4$ is constant. (M1) When revolving about the $y$-axis, integrate with respect to $y$ from $y=0$ to $y=\sqrt{4}=2$. At height $y$ the washer has outer radius $R=4$ (the flat wall at $x=4$) and inner radius $r=y^{2}$ (the curve $x=y^{2}$). (M1)用$y$改写边界。曲线$y=\sqrt{x}$变为$x=y^{2}$;直线$x=4$为常数。(M1) 绕$y$轴旋转时,关于$y$从$y=0$到$y=\sqrt{4}=2$积分。在高度$y$处,垫圈的外半径为$R=4$($x=4$处的平面壁),内半径为$r=y^{2}$(曲线$x=y^{2}$)。(M1)

$$V = \pi\int_{0}^{2}\!\bigl[4^{2}-(y^{2})^{2}\bigr]\,dy = \pi\int_{0}^{2}(16-y^{4})\,dy.$$ $$= \pi\!\left[16y-\frac{y^{5}}{5}\right]_{0}^{2} = \pi\!\left(32-\frac{32}{5}\right) = \pi\cdot\frac{128}{5} = \frac{128\pi}{5}.$$

(A1 integrand, A1 limits, A1 answer) Sanity check: the enclosing cylinder has volume $\pi(4)^{2}(2)=32\pi$; the actual solid is $\tfrac{128\pi}{5}\approx 80.4$, less than $32\pi\approx 100.5$. ✓(A1 被积函数,A1 积分限,A1 答案)合理性检验:包围圆柱的体积为$\pi(4)^{2}(2)=32\pi$;实际体积$\tfrac{128\pi}{5}\approx 80.4$,小于$32\pi\approx 100.5$。✓

Insight.思路点拨。 Choosing which variable to integrate in is a method decision, not an accident. About the $x$-axis the region has a clean top function $y=\sqrt{x}$, so disk/washer in $x$ is natural. About the $y$-axis the same region has a flat outer wall ($x=4$) and a curved inner wall ($x=y^{2}$), so a washer in $y$ is the direct approach. The shell method (integrating in $x$) would also work for the $y$-axis problem and avoids expressing $x$ as a function of $y$; both paths reach $\tfrac{128\pi}{5}$.选择对哪个变量积分是方法上的决策,并非偶然。绕$x$轴时,区域有清晰的上函数$y=\sqrt{x}$,故关于$x$的圆盘法或垫圈法很自然。绕$y$轴时,同一区域有平面外壁($x=4$)和弯曲内壁($x=y^{2}$),故关于$y$的垫圈法是直接方法。柱壳法(关于$x$积分)对绕$y$轴问题同样适用,且无需将$x$表示为$y$的函数;两种方法均得$\tfrac{128\pi}{5}$。
Q4HARDCOREwasher method with offset axis: revolving about $y=-1$偏移轴的垫圈法:绕$y=-1$旋转[8 marks]

Region $R$ enclosed by $y=x^{2}$ and $y=2x$: (a) intersection points; (b) volume revolving $R$ about $y=-1$ by the washer method.$y=x^{2}$与$y=2x$围成的区域$R$:(a) 交点;(b) 用垫圈法求$R$绕$y=-1$旋转的体积。

Answers:答案:  (a) $x=0$ and $x=2$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{104\pi}{15}$

(a) Intersection points(a) 交点 M1·A1

Set $x^{2}=2x$: $x^{2}-2x=x(x-2)=0$, so $x=0$ and $x=2$. (M1·A1) On $(0,2)$ the line $y=2x$ lies above the parabola $y=x^{2}$ (test $x=1$: $2>1$).令$x^{2}=2x$:$x^{2}-2x=x(x-2)=0$,故$x=0$与$x=2$。(M1·A1) 在$(0,2)$上,直线$y=2x$位于抛物线$y=x^{2}$上方(取$x=1$验证:$2>1$)。

(b) Washer radii for axis $y=-1$(b) 旋转轴$y=-1$的垫圈半径 M1·M1·A1·A1·A1·A1

The axis of revolution is $y=-1$, one unit below the $x$-axis. Both curves lie at or above $y=0$, so they are at or above the axis. The outer radius at position $x$ is the distance from $y=-1$ to the farther curve, which is the upper curve $y=2x$: (M1)旋转轴为$y=-1$,位于$x$轴下方一个单位。两条曲线均在$y=0$处或其上方,故均在旋转轴上方。位置$x$处的外半径是从$y=-1$到较远曲线(即上曲线$y=2x$)的距离:(M1)

$$R(x) = 2x-(-1) = 2x+1.$$

The inner radius is the distance from $y=-1$ to the nearer curve, which is the lower curve $y=x^{2}$: (M1)内半径是从$y=-1$到较近曲线(即下曲线$y=x^{2}$)的距离:(M1)

$$r(x) = x^{2}-(-1) = x^{2}+1.$$

Both radii are positive on $[0,2]$. (A1 for each radius expression) The washer formula gives:两个半径在$[0,2]$上均为正。(每个半径表达式各得A1)垫圈公式给出:

$$V = \pi\int_{0}^{2}\!\bigl[(2x+1)^{2}-(x^{2}+1)^{2}\bigr]\,dx.$$

Expand: $(2x+1)^{2}=4x^{2}+4x+1$ and $(x^{2}+1)^{2}=x^{4}+2x^{2}+1$. Their difference is $-x^{4}+2x^{2}+4x$. (A1)展开:$(2x+1)^{2}=4x^{2}+4x+1$,$(x^{2}+1)^{2}=x^{4}+2x^{2}+1$。二者之差为$-x^{4}+2x^{2}+4x$。(A1)

$$V = \pi\int_{0}^{2}(-x^{4}+2x^{2}+4x)\,dx = \pi\!\left[-\frac{x^{5}}{5}+\frac{2x^{3}}{3}+2x^{2}\right]_{0}^{2}$$ $$= \pi\!\left(-\frac{32}{5}+\frac{16}{3}+8\right) = \pi\!\left(\frac{-96+80+120}{15}\right) = \frac{104\pi}{15}.$$

(A1) Sanity check: the enclosing washer cylinder (outer radius $2(2)+1=5$, inner radius $0^{2}+1=1$, length $2$) has volume $\pi(25-1)(2)=48\pi$; the actual volume $\tfrac{104\pi}{15}\approx 21.8$ is smaller. ✓(A1)合理性检验:包围垫圈圆柱(外半径$2(2)+1=5$,内半径$0^{2}+1=1$,长度$2$)的体积为$\pi(25-1)(2)=48\pi$;实际体积$\tfrac{104\pi}{15}\approx 21.8$较小。✓

Insight.思路点拨。 When the axis of revolution is not $y=0$ but $y=k$, every radius picks up an additive offset. The outer radius is (upper curve)$-k$ and the inner radius is (lower curve)$-k$, with the signs always chosen so both are non-negative. Writing $R(x)=2x+1$ and $r(x)=x^2+1$ before squaring is the safest approach: it separates the geometry from the algebra, and a quick check that $R(x)\ge r(x)\ge 0$ on the whole interval catches sign errors early.当旋转轴不是$y=0$而是$y=k$时,每个半径都会增加一个偏移量。外半径为(上曲线)$-k$,内半径为(下曲线)$-k$,符号的选取应使两者均非负。在平方之前先写出$R(x)=2x+1$和$r(x)=x^2+1$是最稳妥的方法:这将几何意义与代数运算分开,在整个区间上快速验证$R(x)\ge r(x)\ge 0$可及早发现符号错误。

Q5HARDPROOFcylindrical shells: deriving the formula and applying it柱壳法:公式推导及其应用[8 marks]

(a) Derive the shell volume element $2\pi r h\,dr$ from exact shell volume. (b) Apply the shell formula to revolve the region under $y=x(2-x)$, $0\le x\le 2$, about the $y$-axis.(a) 从精确壳体积推导体积元$2\pi r h\,dr$。(b) 将柱壳公式应用于$y=x(2-x)$($0\le x\le 2$)下方区域绕$y$轴旋转的问题。

Answers:答案:  (a) volume element $= \pi(2r+\Delta r)h\,\Delta r \to 2\pi rh\,dr$体积元 $= \pi(2r+\Delta r)h\,\Delta r \to 2\pi rh\,dr$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{8\pi}{3}$

(a) Exact shell volume and the limiting element(a) 精确壳体积与极限体积元 M1·A1·R1

A cylindrical shell is the region between two coaxial cylinders of the same height $h$, inner radius $r$, and outer radius $r+\Delta r$. Its volume equals the volume of the outer cylinder minus the volume of the inner cylinder: (M1)柱壳是两个同轴圆柱之间的区域,其高度均为$h$,内径为$r$,外径为$r+\Delta r$。其体积等于外圆柱体积减去内圆柱体积:(M1)

$$V_{\text{shell}} = \pi(r+\Delta r)^{2}h - \pi r^{2}h = \pi h\bigl[(r+\Delta r)^{2}-r^{2}\bigr] = \pi h(2r\,\Delta r+(\Delta r)^{2}).$$

Factor: $V_{\text{shell}} = \pi(2r+\Delta r)h\,\Delta r$. (A1)提取公因子:$V_{\text{shell}} = \pi(2r+\Delta r)h\,\Delta r$。(A1)

As $\Delta r\to 0$ the term $\Delta r$ in $(2r+\Delta r)$ vanishes, and summing infinitely many such shells via the Riemann integral gives the volume element $dV = 2\pi r h\,dr$. (R1) The resulting integral formula is $V = \displaystyle\int_{a}^{b} 2\pi r(x)\,h(x)\,dx$, where $r(x)$ is the shell radius and $h(x)$ is the shell height at position $x$.当$\Delta r\to 0$时,$(2r+\Delta r)$中的$\Delta r$项趋于零,通过黎曼积分对无限多个这样的壳求和,得到体积元$dV = 2\pi r h\,dr$。(R1) 由此得到积分公式$V = \displaystyle\int_{a}^{b} 2\pi r(x)\,h(x)\,dx$,其中$r(x)$为壳半径,$h(x)$为位置$x$处的壳高。

(b) Shell formula applied to $y=x(2-x)$ about the $y$-axis(b) 柱壳公式应用于$y=x(2-x)$绕$y$轴旋转 M1·A1·A1·A1

For a vertical shell at position $x\in[0,2]$: the shell radius is $r(x)=x$ (distance to the $y$-axis) and the shell height is $h(x)=x(2-x)=2x-x^{2}$. (M1)对于位置$x\in[0,2]$处的竖直壳:壳半径为$r(x)=x$(到$y$轴的距离),壳高为$h(x)=x(2-x)=2x-x^{2}$。(M1)

$$V = 2\pi\int_{0}^{2}x\cdot(2x-x^{2})\,dx = 2\pi\int_{0}^{2}(2x^{2}-x^{3})\,dx$$ $$= 2\pi\!\left[\frac{2x^{3}}{3}-\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}^{2} = 2\pi\!\left(\frac{16}{3}-4\right) = 2\pi\cdot\frac{4}{3} = \frac{8\pi}{3}.$$

(A1 integrand, A1 antiderivative, A1 answer) Sanity check: the enclosing cylinder has radius $2$ and height $1$ (the maximum of $x(2-x)$ at $x=1$), giving volume $4\pi$; the actual volume $\tfrac{8\pi}{3}\approx 8.38$ is slightly above the inscribed cylinder $2\pi(1)(1)=2\pi\approx 6.28$ and far below the enclosing value, which is reasonable. ✓(A1 被积函数,A1 原函数,A1 答案)合理性检验:包围圆柱半径为$2$,高为$1$($x(2-x)$在$x=1$处的最大值),体积为$4\pi$;实际体积$\tfrac{8\pi}{3}\approx 8.38$略高于内切圆柱$2\pi(1)(1)=2\pi\approx 6.28$,远低于包围值,结果合理。✓

Insight.思路点拨。 The shell method's power is that it integrates in $x$ even when the axis of revolution is vertical. Here, expressing $y$ as a function of $x$ is immediate, but expressing $x$ as a function of $y$ (needed for washers about the $y$-axis) would require solving a quadratic, producing two branches and a messier setup. The derivation in (a) shows why $2\pi r$ appears: the thin shell unrolls into a rectangle of circumference $2\pi r$ and thickness $dr$.柱壳法的优势在于即使旋转轴为竖直轴,仍可关于$x$积分。此处将$y$表示为$x$的函数是直接的,但将$x$表示为$y$的函数(垫圈法绕$y$轴所需)需要求解二次方程,产生两个分支,建立更繁琐。(a)中的推导说明了为何出现$2\pi r$:薄壳展开后成为周长为$2\pi r$、厚度为$dr$的矩形。
Q6HARDPROOFarc length: deriving the integrand from the Pythagorean approximation弧长:从勾股近似推导被积函数[8 marks]

(a) Derive the arc-length integral from the chord-length approximation. (b) Find the exact arc length of $y=\ln(\cos x)$ from $x=0$ to $x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$.(a) 从弦长近似推导弧长积分。(b) 求$y=\ln(\cos x)$从$x=0$到$x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$的精确弧长。

Answers:答案:  (a) $L=\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^{2}}\,dx$  ·  (b) $\ln(\sqrt{2}+1)$

(a) Pythagorean approximation and the integral(a) 勾股近似与积分 M1·M1·A1·R1

Partition $[a,b]$ into subintervals of width $\Delta x$. The chord joining $(x,f(x))$ to $(x+\Delta x, f(x+\Delta x))$ has horizontal run $\Delta x$ and vertical rise $\Delta y = f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)$. By the Pythagorean theorem, the chord length is (M1)将$[a,b]$分成宽度为$\Delta x$的子区间。连接$(x,f(x))$与$(x+\Delta x, f(x+\Delta x))$的弦,水平跨度为$\Delta x$,竖直升差为$\Delta y = f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)$。由勾股定理,弦长为(M1)

$$\sqrt{(\Delta x)^{2}+(\Delta y)^{2}} = \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\right)^{2}}\,\Delta x.$$

(M1) As $\Delta x\to 0$, the difference quotient $\tfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\to f'(x)$ by the definition of the derivative, so each chord element tends to $\sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^{2}}\,dx$. (A1) Summing and passing to the limit gives the arc-length integral (R1):(M1) 当$\Delta x\to 0$时,由导数的定义,差商$\tfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\to f'(x)$,故每个弦元趋于$\sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^{2}}\,dx$。(A1) 求和并取极限得弧长积分(R1):

$$L = \int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^{2}}\,dx.$$

(b) Arc length of $y=\ln(\cos x)$ from $0$ to $\tfrac{\pi}{4}$(b) $y=\ln(\cos x)$从$0$到$\tfrac{\pi}{4}$的弧长 M1·A1·A1·A1

Differentiate: $f'(x)=\dfrac{-\sin x}{\cos x}=-\tan x$, so $[f'(x)]^{2}=\tan^{2}x$. (M1)求导:$f'(x)=\dfrac{-\sin x}{\cos x}=-\tan x$,故$[f'(x)]^{2}=\tan^{2}x$。(M1)

Simplify under the radical using the Pythagorean identity $1+\tan^{2}x=\sec^{2}x$: (A1)利用勾股恒等式$1+\tan^{2}x=\sec^{2}x$化简根号内表达式:(A1)

$$\sqrt{1+\tan^{2}x} = \sqrt{\sec^{2}x} = |\sec x| = \sec x \quad \text{for } x\in\left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right].$$

Hence: (A1)故:(A1)

$$L = \int_{0}^{\pi/4}\sec x\,dx = \Bigl[\ln|\sec x+\tan x|\Bigr]_{0}^{\pi/4}.$$

At $x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$: $\sec\tfrac{\pi}{4}=\sqrt{2}$ and $\tan\tfrac{\pi}{4}=1$, so the upper limit gives $\ln(\sqrt{2}+1)$. At $x=0$: $\sec 0+\tan 0=1$, so the lower limit gives $\ln 1=0$. (A1)在$x=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$处:$\sec\tfrac{\pi}{4}=\sqrt{2}$,$\tan\tfrac{\pi}{4}=1$,故上限给出$\ln(\sqrt{2}+1)$。在$x=0$处:$\sec 0+\tan 0=1$,故下限给出$\ln 1=0$。(A1)

$$L = \ln(\sqrt{2}+1).$$
Insight.思路点拨。 The arc-length integrand $\sqrt{1+(f')^2}$ almost never simplifies, which is why textbook problems are engineered so the expression under the radical is a perfect square or reduces via a trig identity. Here $1+\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x$ is exact, not an approximation, and $\sec x>0$ on $[0,\pi/4]$ allows us to drop the absolute value without qualification. The antiderivative $\ln|\sec x+\tan x|$ is the standard integral of $\sec x$, verified by differentiating.弧长被积函数$\sqrt{1+(f')^2}$几乎从不化简,这就是为何教材题目刻意使根号内表达式为完全平方式或可通过三角恒等式化简。此处$1+\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x$是精确等式而非近似,且$\sec x>0$在$[0,\pi/4]$上成立,允许我们直接去掉绝对值符号。原函数$\ln|\sec x+\tan x|$是$\sec x$的标准积分,可通过求导验证。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{8}{15}$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{32\sqrt{3}}{3}$  ·  (c) see below见下文

(a) Square cross-sections(a) 正方形截面 M1·A1·A1·A1

Intersection of $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=\tfrac{x}{2}$: $\sqrt{x}=\tfrac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=\tfrac{x^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow x^{2}-4x=0\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x=4$. On $(0,4)$ test $x=1$: $\sqrt{1}=1>\tfrac{1}{2}$, so $y=\sqrt{x}$ is the upper boundary. (M1) The side length of the square at position $x$ equals the vertical gap:$y=\sqrt{x}$与$y=\tfrac{x}{2}$的交点:$\sqrt{x}=\tfrac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=\tfrac{x^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow x^{2}-4x=0\Rightarrow x=0$或$x=4$。在$(0,4)$上取$x=1$验证:$\sqrt{1}=1>\tfrac{1}{2}$,故$y=\sqrt{x}$为上边界。(M1) 位置$x$处正方形的边长等于竖向间距:

$$s(x) = \sqrt{x}-\frac{x}{2},\qquad A(x) = s(x)^{2} = \left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{x}{2}\right)^{2} = x - x^{3/2}+\frac{x^{2}}{4}.$$ $$V = \int_{0}^{4}\!\left(x-x^{3/2}+\frac{x^{2}}{4}\right)dx = \left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{2}{5}x^{5/2}+\frac{x^{3}}{12}\right]_{0}^{4}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$ $$= \left(8-\frac{2}{5}\cdot 32+\frac{64}{12}\right) = 8-\frac{64}{5}+\frac{16}{3} = \frac{120-192+80}{15} = \frac{8}{15}. \quad \text{(A1·A1)}$$

(b) Equilateral-triangle cross-sections(b) 等边三角形截面 M1·A1·A1·A1

At position $x\in[-2,2]$, the chord of the disk $x^{2}+y^{2}\le 4$ perpendicular to the $x$-axis has half-length $\sqrt{4-x^{2}}$, so the full base side is $s(x)=2\sqrt{4-x^{2}}$. (M1) The area of an equilateral triangle with side $s$ is $\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^{2}$:在位置$x\in[-2,2]$处,圆盘$x^{2}+y^{2}\le 4$垂直于$x$轴的弦半长为$\sqrt{4-x^{2}}$,故完整底边长为$s(x)=2\sqrt{4-x^{2}}$。(M1) 边长为$s$的等边三角形面积为$\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^{2}$:

$$A(x) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot\bigl(2\sqrt{4-x^{2}}\bigr)^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot 4(4-x^{2}) = \sqrt{3}(4-x^{2}). \quad \text{(A1)}$$ $$V = \int_{-2}^{2}\sqrt{3}(4-x^{2})\,dx = \sqrt{3}\!\left[4x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{-2}^{2} = \sqrt{3}\!\left[\!\left(8-\frac{8}{3}\right)-\!\left(-8+\frac{8}{3}\right)\!\right] \quad \text{(A1)}$$ $$= \sqrt{3}\!\left(16-\frac{16}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3}\cdot\frac{32}{3} = \frac{32\sqrt{3}}{3}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$

(c) Why $V=\int A(x)\,dx$ contains disks and washers as special cases(c) 为何$V=\int A(x)\,dx$将圆盘法和垫圈法作为特例包含其中 R1·A1

When a region is revolved about the $x$-axis, every cross-section perpendicular to the $x$-axis is a disk (area $\pi R(x)^{2}$) or a washer (area $\pi[R(x)^{2}-r(x)^{2}]$); substituting either formula into $V=\int A(x)\,dx$ recovers the disk and washer formulas respectively. (R1·A1) The general formula covers any shape of cross-section, not only circles.当区域绕$x$轴旋转时,垂直于$x$轴的每个截面是圆盘(面积$\pi R(x)^{2}$)或垫圈(面积$\pi[R(x)^{2}-r(x)^{2}]$);将任一公式代入$V=\int A(x)\,dx$,分别还原为圆盘公式和垫圈公式。(R1·A1) 一般公式适用于任意形状的截面,不仅限于圆形。

Insight.思路点拨。 The cross-section formula $V=\int A(x)\,dx$ is the master principle: it does not care what shape the cross-sections are, only that their area can be expressed as a function of position. Disk and washer volumes are special cases where the cross-sections happen to be circles or annuli. Recognising this unifies several distinct-looking formulas into a single idea and makes the equilateral-triangle and square-cross-section problems straightforward once you write down $A(x)$.截面公式$V=\int A(x)\,dx$是根本原理:它不关心截面的形状,只需截面面积能表示为位置的函数即可。圆盘和垫圈体积是截面恰好为圆形或圆环形的特例。认识到这一点将多个看似不同的公式统一为同一思路,一旦写出$A(x)$,等边三角形截面和正方形截面的问题便迎刃而解。

Q8HARDAPPLIEDshell vs. washer: the same solid by two methods柱壳法与垫圈法:用两种方法求同一旋转体[10 marks]

Region $R$ bounded by $y=x^{3}$, $x=0$, $y=8$, revolved about the $y$-axis: (a) sketch; (b) washer method; (c) shell method.由$y=x^{3}$、$x=0$、$y=8$围成的区域$R$绕$y$轴旋转:(a) 草图;(b) 垫圈法;(c) 柱壳法。

Answers:答案:  (a) see description below见下文描述  ·  (b) $\dfrac{96\pi}{5}$  ·  (c) $\dfrac{96\pi}{5}$ ✓

(a) Description of the region $R$(a) 区域$R$的描述 A1·A1

The boundary consists of three pieces: the curve $y=x^{3}$ from $(0,0)$ to $(2,8)$; the horizontal line $y=8$ from $(0,8)$ to $(2,8)$; and the $y$-axis ($x=0$) from $(0,0)$ to $(0,8)$. The region is bounded on the left by the $y$-axis, on the right by the cubic, and on top by the horizontal line. (A1 for each of two distinct features correctly identified.)边界由三部分组成:从$(0,0)$到$(2,8)$的曲线$y=x^{3}$;从$(0,8)$到$(2,8)$的水平线$y=8$;以及从$(0,0)$到$(0,8)$的$y$轴($x=0$)。区域左侧以$y$轴为界,右侧以三次曲线为界,上方以水平线为界。(正确识别两个不同特征各得A1。)

(b) Washer method (integrate in $y$)(b) 垫圈法(关于$y$积分) M1·A1·A1·A1

Rewrite the right boundary as $x=y^{1/3}$ (the cube root). Revolving about the $y$-axis: at height $y\in[0,8]$ the cross-section is a disk (no hole, since the left boundary is the axis itself) with radius $R(y)=y^{1/3}$. (M1)将右边界改写为$x=y^{1/3}$(立方根)。绕$y$轴旋转:在高度$y\in[0,8]$处,截面是圆盘(无孔,因为左边界即为旋转轴),半径$R(y)=y^{1/3}$。(M1)

$$V = \pi\int_{0}^{8}\!\left(y^{1/3}\right)^{2}\,dy = \pi\int_{0}^{8}y^{2/3}\,dy = \pi\!\left[\frac{y^{5/3}}{5/3}\right]_{0}^{8} = \frac{3\pi}{5}\!\left[y^{5/3}\right]_{0}^{8}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$ $$= \frac{3\pi}{5}\cdot 8^{5/3} = \frac{3\pi}{5}\cdot (2^{3})^{5/3} = \frac{3\pi}{5}\cdot 2^{5} = \frac{3\pi}{5}\cdot 32 = \frac{96\pi}{5}. \quad \text{(A1·A1)}$$

(c) Shell method (integrate in $x$)(c) 柱壳法(关于$x$积分) M1·A1·A1·A1

A vertical shell at position $x\in[0,2]$ has radius $r(x)=x$ and height $h(x)=8-x^{3}$ (distance from the top line $y=8$ down to the curve $y=x^{3}$). (M1)位置$x\in[0,2]$处的竖直壳,半径$r(x)=x$,高度$h(x)=8-x^{3}$(从上方直线$y=8$到曲线$y=x^{3}$的距离)。(M1)

$$V = 2\pi\int_{0}^{2}x(8-x^{3})\,dx = 2\pi\int_{0}^{2}(8x-x^{4})\,dx$$ $$= 2\pi\!\left[4x^{2}-\frac{x^{5}}{5}\right]_{0}^{2} = 2\pi\!\left(16-\frac{32}{5}\right) = 2\pi\cdot\frac{48}{5} = \frac{96\pi}{5}. \quad \text{(A1·A1·A1)}$$

Both methods agree: $V=\dfrac{96\pi}{5}$. ✓两种方法结果一致:$V=\dfrac{96\pi}{5}$。✓

Insight.思路点拨。 The washer method requires expressing the boundary as $x=g(y)$, which here is simply $x=y^{1/3}$. The shell method integrates in $x$, which is often preferable when the function is already given as $y=f(x)$, since no variable-change is needed. As a rule: use disks/washers when integrating parallel to the axis of revolution is natural; use shells when integrating perpendicular to the axis is natural. Both paths must give the same answer, and verifying this is a rigorous self-check.垫圈法需要将边界表示为$x=g(y)$,此处简单地为$x=y^{1/3}$。柱壳法关于$x$积分,当函数已以$y=f(x)$形式给出时往往更为方便,无需换元。一般原则:当沿旋转轴方向积分较自然时,用圆盘法或垫圈法;当垂直于旋转轴方向积分较自然时,用柱壳法。两种方法必须给出相同答案,验证这一点是严格的自我检验。
Q9HARDAPPLIEDarc length with algebraic simplification under the radical根号下代数化简的弧长计算[10 marks]

Curve $y=\dfrac{x^{3}}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2x}$ on $[1,3]$: (a) show $1+(y')^{2}$ is a perfect square; (b) exact arc length; (c) structural reason for the simplification.$[1,3]$上的曲线$y=\dfrac{x^{3}}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2x}$:(a) 证明$1+(y')^{2}$为完全平方式;(b) 精确弧长;(c) 化简成立的结构性原因。

Answers:答案:  (a) $1+(y')^{2}=\left(\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}\right)^{2}$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{14}{3}$  ·  (c) $f'$ has the form $P-Q$ with $PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$$f'$具有$P-Q$的形式,且$PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$

(a) Computing $1+(y')^{2}$ and showing it is a perfect square(a) 计算$1+(y')^{2}$并证明其为完全平方式 M1·A1·A1·A1

Differentiate term by term: (M1)逐项求导:(M1)

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{1}{2x^{2}}.$$

Square the derivative:对导数平方:

$$\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{1}{2x^{2}}\right)^{2} = \frac{x^{4}}{4}-2\cdot\frac{x^{2}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2x^{2}}+\frac{1}{4x^{4}} = \frac{x^{4}}{4}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4x^{4}}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$

Add $1$:加$1$:

$$1+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{2} = \frac{x^{4}}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4x^{4}} = \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2x^{2}}\right)^{2}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$

This is a perfect square because the cross term $+\tfrac{1}{2}$ (from $2\cdot\tfrac{x^2}{2}\cdot\tfrac{1}{2x^2}$) exactly restores the $1$ that was added. (A1)这是完全平方式,因为交叉项$+\tfrac{1}{2}$(来自$2\cdot\tfrac{x^2}{2}\cdot\tfrac{1}{2x^2}$)恰好补足了所加的$1$。(A1)

(b) Exact arc length(b) 精确弧长 M1·A1·A1

Since $\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}>0$ on $[1,3]$, the square root is simply that expression: (M1)由于$\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}>0$在$[1,3]$上成立,平方根即为该表达式:(M1)

$$L = \int_{1}^{3}\!\left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2x^{2}}\right)dx = \left[\frac{x^{3}}{6}-\frac{1}{2x}\right]_{1}^{3}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$ $$= \left(\frac{27}{6}-\frac{1}{6}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{26}{6}-\left(-\frac{2}{6}\right) = \frac{28}{6} = \frac{14}{3}. \quad \text{(A1)}$$

(c) Structural reason for the perfect-square simplification(c) 完全平方化简的结构性原因 R1·A1·A1

Write $f'(x)=P(x)-Q(x)$ where $P=\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}$ and $Q=\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}$. Then (R1)令$f'(x)=P(x)-Q(x)$,其中$P=\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}$,$Q=\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}$。则(R1)

$$1+(P-Q)^{2} = 1+P^{2}-2PQ+Q^{2}.$$

For this to equal $(P+Q)^{2}=P^{2}+2PQ+Q^{2}$, we need $1-2PQ=2PQ$, i.e. $PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$. (A1)要使其等于$(P+Q)^{2}=P^{2}+2PQ+Q^{2}$,需要$1-2PQ=2PQ$,即$PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$。(A1)

Check: $P\cdot Q=\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}=\dfrac{1}{4}$. ✓ The structural property is that the derivative splits into two parts whose product is the constant $\tfrac{1}{4}$; textbook arc-length problems are designed by choosing a function whose derivative has this property. (A1)验证:$P\cdot Q=\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2x^{2}}=\dfrac{1}{4}$。✓ 结构性质在于:导数可分解为两部分,其乘积为常数$\tfrac{1}{4}$;教材弧长题目正是通过选取导数具有该性质的函数来设计的。(A1)

Insight.思路点拨。 Arc-length integrals are notoriously hard to evaluate in closed form. The one situation where they simplify is when $1+(f')^2$ is a perfect square, which happens precisely when $f'$ is the difference $P-Q$ of two functions with constant product $PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$. In that case $(P-Q)^2+1=(P+Q)^2$ and the square root disappears. The function $\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\tfrac{1}{2x}$ is deliberately constructed with this property in mind.弧长积分以难以得到闭合形式而著称。唯一能化简的情形是$1+(f')^2$为完全平方式,这恰好发生在$f'$为两个函数之差$P-Q$且乘积$PQ=\tfrac{1}{4}$为常数时。此时$(P-Q)^2+1=(P+Q)^2$,根号消去。函数$\tfrac{x^3}{6}+\tfrac{1}{2x}$正是以此性质为目标刻意构造的。
Q10HARDAPPLIEDrevolution about an offset axis $x=3$; shell vs. washer choice绕偏移轴$x=3$旋转:柱壳法与垫圈法的选择[8 marks]

Region $R$: $y=4-x^{2}$, $y=0$, $-2\le x\le 2$. (a) Shell method about $x=3$. (b) Why the washer method is harder here.区域$R$:$y=4-x^{2}$,$y=0$,$-2\le x\le 2$。(a) 绕$x=3$的柱壳法。(b) 为何垫圈法在此处更困难。

Answers:答案:  (a) $64\pi$  ·  (b) see explanation below见下文说明

(a) Shell method about the line $x=3$(a) 绕直线$x=3$的柱壳法 M1·M1·A1·A1·A1

For a vertical shell at position $x\in[-2,2]$: the axis is $x=3$, which lies to the right of the entire region, so the shell radius is the distance from $x$ to the axis: (M1)对于位置$x\in[-2,2]$处的竖直壳:旋转轴为$x=3$,位于整个区域的右侧,故壳半径为$x$到旋转轴的距离:(M1)

$$r(x) = 3-x \quad (\ge 1 > 0 \text{ on } [-2,2]).$$

The shell height is $h(x)=4-x^{2}$ (the parabola above the $x$-axis). (M1)壳高为$h(x)=4-x^{2}$($x$轴上方的抛物线)。(M1)

$$V = 2\pi\int_{-2}^{2}(3-x)(4-x^{2})\,dx.$$

Expand the integrand: $(3-x)(4-x^{2})=12-3x^{2}-4x+x^{3}$. Split into even and odd parts: $12-3x^{2}$ is even and $-4x+x^{3}$ is odd. Since the interval is symmetric about $x=0$, the odd part integrates to zero: (A1)展开被积函数:$(3-x)(4-x^{2})=12-3x^{2}-4x+x^{3}$。分解为奇偶部分:$12-3x^{2}$为偶函数,$-4x+x^{3}$为奇函数。由于积分区间关于$x=0$对称,奇函数部分的积分为零:(A1)

$$V = 2\pi\int_{-2}^{2}(12-3x^{2})\,dx = 2\pi\cdot 2\int_{0}^{2}(12-3x^{2})\,dx = 4\pi\!\left[12x-x^{3}\right]_{0}^{2}$$ $$= 4\pi(24-8) = 4\pi\cdot 16 = 64\pi. \quad \text{(A1·A1)}$$

(b) Why the washer method is harder about $x=3$(b) 为何垫圈法对旋转轴$x=3$更困难 R1·A1·A1

The washer method would integrate with respect to $y$. At a given height $y\in[0,4]$, the parabola $y=4-x^{2}$ contributes two $x$-values: $x=\pm\sqrt{4-y}$. To revolve about $x=3$, the outer washer radius is $3-(-\sqrt{4-y})=3+\sqrt{4-y}$ (distance from $x=3$ to the left branch) and the inner radius is $3-\sqrt{4-y}$ (distance to the right branch). (R1·A1)垫圈法需关于$y$积分。在给定高度$y\in[0,4]$处,抛物线$y=4-x^{2}$给出两个$x$值:$x=\pm\sqrt{4-y}$。绕$x=3$旋转时,垫圈外半径为$3-(-\sqrt{4-y})=3+\sqrt{4-y}$(从$x=3$到左支的距离),内半径为$3-\sqrt{4-y}$(到右支的距离)。(R1·A1)

Setting up the difference of squares in $y$, we get $R^2 - r^2 = (3+\sqrt{4-y})^2-(3-\sqrt{4-y})^2 = 12\sqrt{4-y}$, and the resulting integral $\pi\int_0^4 12\sqrt{4-y}\,dy$ is straightforward but requires recognising and tracking both branches of the parabola simultaneously. For a non-symmetric region about a shifted axis, failure to identify both branches produces an incorrect washer. The shell method avoids this entirely by working in $x$. (A1)在$y$中建立平方差,得$R^2 - r^2 = (3+\sqrt{4-y})^2-(3-\sqrt{4-y})^2 = 12\sqrt{4-y}$,由此得到的积分$\pi\int_0^4 12\sqrt{4-y}\,dy$虽可计算,但需要同时识别并追踪抛物线的两个分支。对于关于偏移轴的非对称区域,若未能正确识别两个分支,将得到错误的垫圈。柱壳法通过关于$x$积分完全规避了这一问题。(A1)

Insight.思路点拨。 When the axis of revolution is a vertical line $x=k$ and the region is expressed as $y=f(x)$, the shell method is almost always simpler: the shell radius is $|k-x|$ and the height is $f(x)$, with no need to invert $f$. The washer method requires integrating in $y$, which in turn requires solving for $x$ as a function of $y$. For the parabola $x=\pm\sqrt{4-y}$ this produces two branches that must both be tracked as separate contributions to the washer radii. The odd-function symmetry argument used in (a) is a powerful shortcut: always check whether the integrand splits into even and odd parts when the interval is symmetric.当旋转轴为竖直线$x=k$且区域以$y=f(x)$表达时,柱壳法几乎总是更简便:壳半径为$|k-x|$,高度为$f(x)$,无需对$f$求反函数。垫圈法需关于$y$积分,进而要将$x$表示为$y$的函数。对于抛物线$x=\pm\sqrt{4-y}$,这产生两个分支,两者都必须作为垫圈半径的独立贡献加以追踪。(a)中使用的奇函数对称性论证是一个有力的捷径:当积分区间对称时,始终检查被积函数能否分解为奇偶部分。
