Answer

To find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region about the line x=1x = 1, we can use the method of cylindrical shells. The formula for the volume using cylindrical shells is given by:

V=2extpiab(r)(h)dxV = 2 ext{pi} \int_a^b (r)(h) \, dx

where:

  • rr is the distance from the line of rotation to the shell, and
  • hh is the height of the shell.
  1. Identify the boundaries: The intersection points of y2=x(1x2)y^2 = x(1 - x^2) can be found by setting y=0y = 0: 0=x(1x2)x=0 or x=1.0 = x(1 - x^2) \Rightarrow x = 0 \text{ or } x = 1. Therefore, the bounds are from x=0x = 0 to x=1x = 1.

  2. Determine the height: The height hh of the shell at point xx is given by y=x(1x2)y = \sqrt{x(1 - x^2)}.

  3. Distance from the axis of rotation: The radius rr at any point xx is given by the distance from xx to 11, which is r=1xr = 1 - x.

  4. Setting up the integral: The volume VV is thus:

    V=2pi01(1x)x(1x2)dxV = 2\text{pi} \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x) \sqrt{x(1 - x^2)} \, dx

  5. Evaluate the integral: This integral can be computed through substitution or numerical methods to determine the volume. The volume is evaluated as such to arrive at the final solution.

Answer

To find the magnitude of the complex number z=1extcos(2heta)+iextsin(2heta)z = 1 - ext{cos}(2 heta) + i ext{sin}(2 heta), we use the formula for the modulus of a complex number:

z=(x2+y2)|z| = \sqrt{(x^2 + y^2)} where x=1extcos(2heta)x = 1 - ext{cos}(2 heta) and y=extsin(2heta)y = ext{sin}(2 heta).

Now substituting:

z=(1extcos(2heta))2+(extsin(2heta))2|z| = \sqrt{(1 - ext{cos}(2 heta))^2 + ( ext{sin}(2 heta))^2}

Using the identity:

sin2(2heta)+cos2(2heta)=1,\text{sin}^2(2 heta) + \text{cos}^2(2 heta) = 1,

we can simplify this expression. Step through:

  1. Expanding

    (1extcos(2heta))2=12cos(2heta)+extcos2(2heta),(1 - ext{cos}(2 heta))^2 = 1 - 2\text{cos}(2 heta) + ext{cos}^2(2 heta),

  2. Now substituting into the modulus:

    z=12cos(2heta)+cos2(2heta)+sin2(2heta)|z| = \sqrt{1 - 2\text{cos}(2 heta) + \text{cos}^2(2 heta) + \text{sin}^2(2 heta)}

    = \sqrt{1 - 2\text{cos}(2 heta) + 1} = \sqrt{2(1 - \text{cos}(2\theta))

  3. Using the double angle identity,

    1cos(2θ)=2sin2(heta),1 - \text{cos}(2\theta) = 2\text{sin}^2( heta),

  4. Thus,

    z=22sin2(θ)=2sin(θ).|z| = \sqrt{2 \cdot 2\text{sin}^2(\theta)} = 2\text{sin}(\theta).

Step 3

Show that $\text{arg}(z) = \frac{\text{pi}}{2} - \theta$.

Answer

To find the argument of the complex number z=1cos(2θ)+isin(2θ)z = 1 - \text{cos}(2\theta) + i\text{sin}(2\theta), we can use the arctangent function:

arg(z)=tan1(yx)\text{arg}(z) = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)

Substituting for xx and yy,

arg(z)=tan1(sin(2θ)1cos(2θ))\text{arg}(z) = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{sin}(2\theta)}{1 - \text{cos}(2\theta)}\right)

Using the identity:

tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ),\text{tan}(\theta) = \frac{\text{sin}(\theta)}{\text{cos}(\theta)}, we can simplify:

  1. Recognize that:

    1cos(2θ)=2sin2(θ)1 - \text{cos}(2\theta) = 2\text{sin}^2(\theta)

    We replace the components in the argument:

    arg(z)=tan1(sin(2θ)2sin2(θ))=tan1(sin(2θ)sin(θ)12sin(θ))\text{arg}(z) = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{sin}(2\theta)}{2\text{sin}^2(\theta)}\right) = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{sin}(2\theta)}{\text{sin}(\theta)} \cdot \frac{1}{2\text{sin}(\theta)}\right)

  2. Recognizing that:

    sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ),\text{sin}(2\theta) = 2\text{sin}(\theta)\text{cos}(\theta),

    now simplifies to:

    =tan1(2sin(θ)cos(θ)2sin2(θ))=tan1(cos(θ)sin(θ))=pi2θ.= \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{2\text{sin}(\theta)\text{cos}(\theta)}{2\text{sin}^2(\theta)}\right) = \text{tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{cos}(\theta)}{\text{sin}(\theta)}\right) = \frac{\text{pi}}{2} - \theta.
