See below for Part A.

Part B)

$\displaystyle h=\Big(\frac{125}{\pi}+27\Big)^\frac{2}{3}-9\approx7.4614$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

The parabola given by the equation:

y^2=4ax

From 0 to h is revolved about the x-axis.

We can take the principal square root of both sides to acquire our function:

$y=f(x)=\sqrt{4ax}$

Please refer to the attachment below for the sketch.

The area of a surface of revolution is given by:

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{a}^{b}r(x)\sqrt{1+\big[f^\prime(x)]^2} \,dx$

Where r(x) is the distance between f and the axis of revolution.

From the sketch, we can see that the distance between f and the AoR is simply our equation y. Hence:

$r(x)=y(x)=\sqrt{4ax}$

Now, we will need to find f’(x). We know that:

$f(x)=\sqrt{4ax}$

Then by the chain rule, f’(x) is:

$\displaystyle f^\prime(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4ax}}\cdot4a=\frac{2a}{\sqrt{4ax}}$

For our limits of integration, we are going from 0 to h.

Hence, our integral becomes:

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{0}^{h}(\sqrt{4ax})\sqrt{1+\Big(\frac{2a}{\sqrt{4ax}}\Big)^2}\, dx$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{0}^{h}\sqrt{4ax}\Big(\sqrt{1+\frac{4a^2}{4ax}}\Big)\,dx$

Combine roots;

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{0}^{h}\sqrt{4ax\Big(1+\frac{4a^2}{4ax}\Big)}\,dx$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{0}^{h}\sqrt{4ax+4a^2}\, dx$

Integrate. We can consider using u-substitution. We will let:

$u=4ax+4a^2\text{ then } du=4a\, dx$

We also need to change our limits of integration. So:

$u=4a(0)+4a^2=4a^2\text{ and } \\ u=4a(h)+4a^2=4ah+4a^2$

Hence, our new integral is:

$\displaystyle S=2\pi\int_{4a^2}^{4ah+4a^2}\sqrt{u}\, \Big(\frac{1}{4a}\Big)du$

Simplify and integrate:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{\pi}{2a}\Big[\,\frac{2}{3}u^{\frac{3}{2}}\Big|^{4ah+4a^2}_{4a^2}\Big]$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{\pi}{3a}\Big[\, u^\frac{3}{2}\Big|^{4ah+4a^2}_{4a^2}\Big]$

FTC:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{\pi}{3a}\Big[(4ah+4a^2)^\frac{3}{2}-(4a^2)^\frac{3}{2}\Big]$

Simplify each term. For the first term, we have:

$\displaystyle (4ah+4a^2)^\frac{3}{2}$

We can factor out the 4a:

$\displaystyle =(4a)^\frac{3}{2}(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle =8a^\frac{3}{2}(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}$

For the second term, we have:

$\displaystyle (4a^2)^\frac{3}{2}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle =(2a)^3$

Hence:

$\displaystyle =8a^3$

Thus, our equation becomes:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{\pi}{3a}\Big[8a^\frac{3}{2}(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}-8a^3\Big]$

We can factor out an 8a^(3/2). Hence:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{\pi}{3a}(8a^\frac{3}{2})\Big[(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}-a^\frac{3}{2}\Big]$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{8\pi}{3}\sqrt{a}\Big[(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}-a^\frac{3}{2}\Big]$

Hence, we have verified the surface area generated by the function.

Part B)

We have:

y^2=36x

We can rewrite this as:

y^2=4(9)x

Hence, a=9.

The surface area is 1000. So, S=1000.

Therefore, with our equation:

$\displaystyle S=\frac{8\pi}{3}\sqrt{a}\Big[(h+a)^\frac{3}{2}-a^\frac{3}{2}\Big]$

We can write:

$\displaystyle 1000=\frac{8\pi}{3}\sqrt{9}\Big[(h+9)^\frac{3}{2}-9^\frac{3}{2}\Big]$

Solve for h. Simplify:

$\displaystyle 1000=8\pi\Big[(h+9)^\frac{3}{2}-27\Big]$

Divide both sides by 8π:

$\displaystyle \frac{125}{\pi}=(h+9)^\frac{3}{2}-27$

Isolate term:

$\displaystyle \frac{125}{\pi}+27=(h+9)^\frac{3}{2}$

Raise both sides to 2/3:

$\displaystyle \Big(\frac{125}{\pi}+27\Big)^\frac{2}{3}=h+9$

Hence, the value of h is:

$\displaystyle h=\Big(\frac{125}{\pi}+27\Big)^\frac{2}{3}-9\approx7.4614$

The portion of the parabola y²=4ax above the x-axis, where is form 0 to h is revolved about the x-ax

Answer from: shaunalab

You seem to have left out that 0 ≤ x ≤ h.

From y² = 4ax, we get that the top half of the parabola (the part that lies in the first quadrant above the x-axis) is given by y = √(4ax) = 2√(ax). Then the area of the surface obtained by revolving this curve between x = 0 and x = h about the x-axis is

$2\pi\displaystyle\int_0^h y(x) \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy(x)}{\mathrm dx}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dx$

We have

y(x) = 2√(ax) → y'(x) = 2 • a/(2√(ax)) = √(a/x)

so the integral is

$4\sqrt a\pi\displaystyle\int_0^h \sqrt x \sqrt{1+\frac ax}\,\mathrm dx$

$=\displaystyle4\sqrt a\pi\int_0^h (x+a)^{\frac12}\,\mathrm dx$

$=4\sqrt a\pi\left[\dfrac23(x+a)^{\frac32}\right]_0^h$

$=\dfrac{8\pi\sqrt a}3\left((h+a)^{\frac32}-a^{\frac32}\right)$

Now, if y² = 36x, then a = 9. So if the area is 1000, solve for h :

$1000=8\pi\left((h+9)^{\frac32}-27\right)$

$\dfrac{125}\pi=(h+9)^{\frac32}-27$

$\dfrac{125+27\pi}\pi=(h+9)^{\frac32}$

$\left(\dfrac{125+27\pi}\pi\right)^{\frac23}=h+9$

$\boxed{h=\left(\dfrac{125+27\pi}\pi\right)^{\frac23}-9}$

whatvare the choices

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$
