Lecture No.32, 33 and 34

Question1:
Find a definite integral indicating the area enclosed by the curves y  x 2  6 x  7 and y  x  1 .
But do not evaluate it further.
Solution:

Here y  x 2  6 x  7 _____ (1) ,

and y  x 1 _____ (2) ,
equating (1) and (2)
 x 2  6 x  7  x  1,
x 2  6 x  7  x  1  0,
x 2  7 x  8  0,
x 2  8 x  x  8  0,
x( x  8)  1( x  8)  0,
 ( x  8)( x  1)  0,
 x  1 and x  8,
as x  1  x 2  6 x  7 for  1  x  8,

dx  1
 cos tdt 
Evaluate  by using second fundamental theorem of calculus. Also
Check the validity of this theorem.

Solution.
Since f ( x )  cos x is continuous on (1, x ) , so by second fundamental theorem of

calculus

d  

Question 5:
Find the volume of a solid bounded by two parallel planes perpendicular to the x-axis
at x  0 and x  3 , where the cross section perpendicular to the x- axis is a rectangle having
dimensions ‘a’ and ‘b’

Question 6:
Find the volume of the solid generated when the region between the graphs of
1
f ( x)  x
2 and g ( x)  x over the interval [0,2] is revolved about the x-axis.

Solution:
Solution:
y  f  x  and y  g  x 
Since the volume enclosed between two curves revolve about the x-
axis so

V     g 2  x   f 2  x   dx
