009B Sample Final 1, Problem 5

Consider the solid obtained by rotating the area bounded by the following three functions about the $y$-axis:

$x=0$, $y=e^{x}$, and $y=ex$.

a) Sketch the region bounded by the given three functions. Find the intersection point of the two functions:

$y=e^{x}$ and $y=ex$. (There is only one.)

b) Set up the integral for the volume of the solid.

c) Find the volume of the solid by computing the integral.

Foundations:
Recall:
1. You can find the intersection points of two functions, say $f(x),g(x),$
by setting $f(x)=g(x)$ and solving for Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x.}
2. The volume of a solid obtained by rotating an area around the Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y} -axis using cylindrical shells is given by

Solution:

(a)

Step 1:
First, we sketch the region bounded by the three functions. The region is shown in red, while the revolved solid is shown in blue.

Step 2:
Setting the equations equal, we have Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle e^x=ex.}
We get one intersection point, which is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (1,e).}
This intersection point can be seen in the graph shown in Step 1.

(b)

Step 1:
We proceed using cylindrical shells. The radius of the shells is given by Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r=x.}
The height of the shells is given by

Step 2:
So, the volume of the solid is
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int 2\pi rh\,dx\,=\,\int_0^1 2\pi x(e^x-ex)\,dx.}

(c)

Step 1:
We need to integrate

Step 2:
For the first integral, we need to use integration by parts.
Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=x} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle dv=e^xdx.} Then, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=dx} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle v=e^x.}
So, the integral becomes
