I have two questions.

1. Find the equation of the curve COD assuming it is of the form y=ax^2n.
C(-60,18) O(0,0), D(40,8).

2.Line AB: 20y=x+480
Curve CD: y=x^2/200
A(-60,21) B(40,26)

Find the area between the line AB and the Curve CD, between x= 40, x=-60

I got 1883 1/3 but the answer has 466 2/3. Am i wrong?

1. just sub in the points and solve simultaneous equations.

A = S [40 --> -60] (x/20+24)dx - S [40 --> -60] (x^2/200) dx
= a-b

a = (0.5)(26+21)(40-(-60)) (area of trapezium)

b = 1400/3 = 466 2/3 (after evaluating)

.'. A = 1883 1/3 u^2 is the area enclosed

the answer gives the area under the parabola for some reason

Also if some1 can help me in this question that would be great.

Find the equation of the tangent to the parabola y=2x^2 at (1,2). Calculate its point of intersection with the x-axis and the volume of the solid formed when the area between the parabola, the tangent line and the xaxis is reveloved about the xaxis.

Especially the bit about forming a solid of revolution.

The tangent, has equn of
y=4x-2
THe pt of intersection is (1/2,0)

But the area formed i found to be 2/15 pi, which is different to the answer. Much help would be appreciated.

well, y'=4x=4 at (1,2)
y-2=4(x-1)
y=4x-2
y=0, x=1/2

uhh when x=0 y=-2
V=2/3pi ?

Timothy, but dosent it say the intesection with the x-axis? Meaning anything belwo the x-axis is discounted. If you can pleaes post solution.

hmm? what do u mean by anything below the x-axis is discounted?
i just did the solid of revolution.

i actually didn't integrate it, i just did the volume of a cone.

What... you didnt integrate it. How did you solve it then?

What i meant was that the tangent cut the y-axis below at y = -2. Thus the area between the parabola and the tangent and x-axis, is above the x-axis.

Otherwords my workings...




But also, how would volume of the cone work? The parabola is curved.

oh, it was area between parabola.
my answers totally wrong then.
this is tricky then.

zzz... but how did u get 2/3pi. Because that was the right anwer.

Im just curious and want to know.

it should be,

pi S [4x^4-(4x-2)^2] dx from 0.5 to 1

+ pi S (4x^4)dx from 0 to 0.5
