A company designs spinning toys using the family of functions $y = c x \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } }$, where $c$ is a positive constant. The figure above shows the region in the first quadrant bounded by the $x$-axis and the graph of $y = c x \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } }$, for some $c$. Each spinning toy is in the shape of the solid generated when such a region is revolved about the $x$-axis. Both $x$ and $y$ are measured in inches.
(a) Find the area of the region in the first quadrant bounded by the $x$-axis and the graph of $y = c x \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } }$ for $c = 6$.
(b) It is known that, for $y = c x \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } } , \frac { d y } { d x } = \frac { c \left( 4 - 2 x ^ { 2 } \right) } { \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } } }$. For a particular spinning toy, the radius of the largest cross-sectional circular slice is 1.2 inches. What is the value of $c$ for this spinning toy?
(c) For another spinning toy, the volume is $2 \pi$ cubic inches. What is the value of $c$ for this spinning toy?
Exercise 1 (5 points)
The Delmas chocolate factory decides to market new confectionery: chocolate drops in the shape of a water droplet. To do this, it must manufacture custom moulds that must meet the following constraint: for this range of sweets to be profitable, the chocolate factory must be able to produce at least 80 with 1 litre of liquid chocolate paste.
Part A: modelling by a function
The half-perimeter of the upper face of the drop will be modelled by a portion of the curve of the function $f$ defined on $]0;+\infty[$ by: $$f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 2x - 2 - 3\ln x}{x}.$$
  1. Let $\varphi$ be the function defined on $]0;+\infty[$ by: $$\varphi(x) = x^2 - 1 + 3\ln x.$$ a. Calculate $\varphi(1)$ and the limit of $\varphi$ at 0. b. Study the variations of $\varphi$ on $]0;+\infty[$. Deduce the sign of $\varphi(x)$ according to the values of $x$.
  2. a. Calculate the limits of $f$ at the boundaries of its domain of definition. b. Show that on $]0;+\infty[$: $f'(x) = \dfrac{\varphi(x)}{x^2}$. Deduce the variation table of $f$. c. Prove that the equation $f(x) = 0$ has a unique solution $\alpha$ on $]0;1]$. Determine using a calculator an approximate value of $\alpha$ to $10^{-2}$ near. It is admitted that the equation $f(x) = 0$ also has a unique solution $\beta$ on $[1;+\infty[$ with $\beta \approx 3.61$ to $10^{-2}$ near. d. Let $F$ be the function defined on $]0;+\infty[$ by: $$F(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^2 - 2x - 2\ln x - \frac{3}{2}(\ln x)^2.$$ Show that $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ on $]0;+\infty[$.

Part B: solving the problem
In this part, calculations will be performed with the approximate values to $10^{-2}$ near of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ from Part A. To obtain the shape of the droplet, we consider the representative curve $C$ of the function $f$ restricted to the interval $[\alpha;\beta]$ as well as its reflection $C'$ with respect to the horizontal axis. The two curves $C$ and $C'$ delimit the upper face of the drop. For aesthetic reasons, the chocolatier would like his drops to have a thickness of $0.5$ cm. Under these conditions, would the profitability constraint be respected?
By rotating the cross-section figure around the x-axis, we obtain a model of the light bulb. We decompose it into three parts. We recall that:
  • the volume of a cylinder is given by the formula $\pi r^2 h$ where $r$ is the radius of the base disk and $h$ is the height;
  • the volume of a sphere of radius $r$ is given by the formula $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
We also admit that, for every real number $x$ in the interval $[0;4]$, $f(x) = 2 - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}x\right)$.
The points are $\mathrm{A}(-1;1)$, $\mathrm{B}(0;1)$, $\mathrm{C}(4;3)$, $\mathrm{D}(7;0)$, $\mathrm{E}(4;-3)$, $\mathrm{F}(0;-1)$, $\mathrm{G}(-1;-1)$.
  1. Calculate the volume of the cylinder with cross-section the rectangle $ABFG$.
  2. Calculate the volume of the hemisphere with cross-section the half-disk with diameter $[CE]$.
  3. To approximate the volume of the solid with cross-section the shaded region BCEF, we divide the segment $[OO']$ into $n$ segments of equal length $\frac{4}{n}$ then we construct $n$ cylinders of equal height $\frac{4}{n}$. a. Special case: in this question only we choose $n = 5$. Calculate the volume of the third cylinder, shaded in the figures, then give its value rounded to $10^{-2}$. b. General case: in this question, $n$ denotes any non-zero natural number. We approximate the volume of the solid with cross-section BCEF by the sum of the volumes of the $n$ cylinders thus created by choosing a sufficiently large value of $n$. Copy and complete the following algorithm so that at the end of its execution, the variable $V$ contains the sum of the volumes of the $n$ cylinders created when $n$ is entered. \begin{verbatim} $V \leftarrow 0$ For $k$ going from...to ... : $\mid V \leftarrow \ldots$ Fin For \end{verbatim}
We consider the function $f$ defined on $\mathbb { R }$ by:
$$f ( x ) = \frac { 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 }$$
Let A be a point on $\mathscr { C }$ with positive abscissa $a$. The rotation around the x-axis applied to the part of $\mathscr { C }$ bounded by points I and A generates a surface modeling the flute container, taking 1 cm as the unit.
The real number $a$ being strictly positive, we admit that the volume $V ( a )$ of this solid in $\mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }$ is given by the formula:
$$V ( a ) = \pi \int _ { 0 } ^ { a } ( f ( x ) ) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x$$
  1. Verify, for all real numbers $x \geqslant 0$, the equality: $$( f ( x ) ) ^ { 2 } = 4 \left( \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 } + \frac { - \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 \right) ^ { 2 } } \right) .$$
  2. Determine a primitive on $\mathbb { R }$ of each of the functions: $$g : x \longmapsto \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 } \quad \text { and } \quad h : x \longmapsto \frac { - \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 \right) ^ { 2 } }$$
  3. Deduce that for all real $a > 0$: $$V ( a ) = 4 \pi \left[ \ln \left( \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { a } + 1 } { 2 } \right) + \frac { 1 } { \mathrm { e } ^ { a } + 1 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right] .$$
  4. Using a calculator, determine an approximate value of $a$ to 0.1, knowing that a flute must contain $12.5 \mathrm { cL }$, that is $125 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }$. No justification is required.

To find the volume of a cave, we fit $\mathrm { X } , \mathrm { Y }$ and Z axes such that the base of the cave is in the XY-plane and the vertical direction is parallel to the Z-axis.
