3. Let $R$ be the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the hyperbola $x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } - 9$, the $x$-axis, and the line $x - 5$.
(a) Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving $R$ about the x-axis.
(b) Set up, but do not integrate, an integral expression in terms of a single variable for the volume of the solid generated when $R$ is revolved about the line $\mathrm { x } = - 1$.
Solution
(a) Discs:
$$\begin{aligned}
V & = \pi \int _ { 3 } ^ { 5 } \left( x ^ { 2 } - 9 \right) d x \\
& = \pi \left[ \frac { 1 } { 3 } x ^ { 3 } - 9 x \right] _ { 3 } ^ { 5 } \\
& = \pi \left[ \left( \frac { 125 } { 3 } - 45 \right) - ( 9 - 27 ) \right] = \frac { 44 } { 3 } \pi
\end{aligned}$$
or Shells:
$$\begin{aligned}
V & = 2 \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \left( 5 - \sqrt { 9 + y ^ { 2 } } \right) y d y \\
& = 2 \pi \left[ \frac { 5 } { 2 } y ^ { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \left( 9 + y ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } \right] _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \\
& = 2 \pi \left( 40 - \frac { 125 } { 3 } + \frac { 27 } { 3 } \right) = \frac { 44 } { 3 } \pi
\end{aligned}$$
(b) Shells:
$$\begin{aligned}
V & = 2 \pi \int _ { 3 } ^ { 5 } ( x + 1 ) y d x \\
& = 2 \pi \int _ { 3 } ^ { 5 } ( x + 1 ) \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 9 } d x
\end{aligned}$$
or Washers:
$$\begin{aligned}
V & = \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \left[ 36 - ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } \right] d y \\
& = \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { 4 } \left[ 36 - \left( \sqrt { 9 + y ^ { 2 } } + 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \right] d y
\end{aligned}$$

- Let $f$ be the function defined by $f ( x ) = 2 x e ^ { - x }$ for all real numbers $x$.
(a) Write an equation of the horizontal asymptote for the graph of $f$.
(b) Find the $x$-coordinate of each critical point of $f$. For each such $x$, determine whether $f ( x )$ is a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither.
(c) For what values of $x$ is the graph of $f$ concave down?
(d) Using the results found in parts (a), (b), and (c), sketch the graph of $y = f ( x )$ in the $x y$-plane provided below.
Solution
(a) $y = 0$
(b) $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 2 \left( - x e ^ { - x } + e ^ { - x } \right)$
$$= 2 e ^ { - x } ( 1 - x )$$
critical point at $x = 1$ relative maximum at $x = 1$
(c) $f ^ { \prime \prime } ( x ) = 2 e ^ { - x } ( - 1 ) + \left( - 2 e ^ { - x } \right) ( 1 - x )$
$$= 2 e ^ { - x } ( x - 2 )$$
Concave down when
$$\begin{aligned}
2 e ^ { - x } ( x - 2 ) & < 0 \\
( x - 2 ) & < 0 \\
x & < 2
\end{aligned}$$
