Let $0 < a < 1$. Let $S ( a )$ denote the sum of the areas of two regions, one region bounded by the curve $y = x e ^ { 2 x }$, the $x$-axis, and the straight line $x = a - 1$, and the other region bounded by the curve $y = x e ^ { 2 x }$, the $x$-axis, and the straight line $x = a$. We are to find the value of $a$ at which $S ( a )$ is minimized.
The indefinite integral of $x e ^ { 2 x }$ is to be determined, where $C$ is the constant of integration.
The value of $x e ^ { 2 x }$ is $x e ^ { 2 x } < 0$ for $x < 0$ and $x e ^ { 2 x } \geqq 0$ for $x \geqq 0$. Hence we have
$$S ( a ) = \frac { \mathbf { L M } } { \mathbf { N } } \left\{ \mathbf { O } + \left( \mathbf { P } a - \mathbf { Q } \right) e ^ { 2 ( a - 1 ) } + ( \mathbf { R } a - 1 ) e ^ { 2 a } \right\} .$$
Further, since
$$S ^ { \prime } ( a ) = ( a - \mathbf { S } ) e ^ { 2 ( a - 1 ) } + a e ^ { 2 a } ,$$
the value of $a$ at which $S ( a )$ is minimized is $a = \dfrac { \square \mathbf { T } } { e ^ { 2 } + \mathbf { U } }$, which satisfies $0 < a < 1$.
Let $a$ and $t$ be positive real numbers. Let $\ell$ be the tangent to the graph $C$ of $y = a x ^ { 3 }$ at a point $\mathrm { P } \left( t , a t ^ { 3 } \right)$, and let Q be the point at which $\ell$ intersects the curve $C$ again. Further, let $p$ be the line passing through the point P parallel to the $x$-axis; let $q$ be the line passing through the point Q parallel to the $y$-axis; and let R be the point of intersection of $p$ and $q$.
Also, let us denote by $S _ { 1 }$ the area of the region bounded by the curve $C$, the straight line $p$ and the straight line $q$, and denote by $S _ { 2 }$ the area of the region bounded by the curve $C$ and the tangent $\ell$. We are to find the value of $\frac { S _ { 1 } } { S _ { 2 } }$.
First, since the equation of the tangent $\ell$ is
$$y = \mathbf { A } a t ^ { \mathbf{B} } x - \mathbf { C } a t ^ { \mathbf{D} } \text {, }$$
the $x$-coordinate of Q is $- \mathbf { E } t$.
Hence, $S _ { 1 }$ is
$$S _ { 1 } = \frac { \mathbf { F G } } { \mathbf { H } } a t ^ { \mathbf { I } } .$$
Also, since $S _ { 2 }$ is obtained by subtracting $S _ { 1 }$ from the area of the triangle PQR, we have
$$S _ { 2 } = \frac { \mathbf { J K } } { \mathbf { L } } a t ^ { \mathbf { M } } .$$
Hence, the value of $\frac { S _ { 1 } } { S _ { 2 } }$ is always
$$\frac { S _ { 1 } } { S _ { 2 } } = \mathbf { N } ,$$
independent of the values of $a$ and $t$.
Let $a > 1$. We divide the region defined by the two inequalities
$$0 \leqq x \leqq \frac { \pi } { 6 } , \quad 0 \leqq y \leqq a \cos 3 x$$
into two sections by the straight line $y = 1$. Let us denote the area of the section where $y \geq 1$ by $S$ and the area of the section where $y \leq 1$ by $T$. We are to find the value of $a$ such that $T - S$ is maximized, and also find the maximum value of $T - S$.
Let $t$ denote the value of $x \left( 0 \leqq x \leqq \frac { \pi } { 6 } \right)$ satisfying the equation $a \cos 3 x = 1$. Then we have
$$\begin{aligned} S & = \frac { \sin 3 t } { \mathbf { A } \cos 3 t } - t \\ S + T & = \frac { 1 } { \mathbf { B } \cos 3 t } . \end{aligned}$$
When we set $f ( t ) = T - S$, we see that
$$f ^ { \prime } ( t ) = \frac { ( \mathbf { C } - \mathbf { D } \sin 3 t ) \sin 3 t } { \cos ^ { \mathbf { E } } 3 t } .$$
Hence $T - S$ is maximized at $t = \frac { \pi } { \mathbf { F G } }$. Thus, $T - S$ is maximized at $a = \frac { \mathbf { H } \sqrt { \mathbf { I } } } { \mathbf{J} }$, and the maximum value is $\frac { \pi } { \mathbf { K } }$.
Consider the function $f ( x ) = x \sin ^ { 2 } x$ on the interval $0 \leqq x \leqq \pi$. Let $\ell$ be the tangent to the curve $y = f ( x )$ that passes through the origin, where $\ell$ is not the $x$-axis. We are to find the area $S$ of the region bounded by the curve $y = f ( x )$ and the tangent $\ell$.
(1) For each of $\mathbf{A}$ $\sim$ $\mathbf{D}$ in the following sentences, choose the correct answer from among (0) $\sim$ (9) below.
When we denote the point of tangency of the curve $y = f ( x )$ and the tangent $\ell$ by $( t , f ( t ) )$, we have the equality $\mathbf{A}$, since $\ell$ passes through the origin. Further, since
$$f ^ { \prime } ( t ) = \mathbf { B } + 2 t \, \mathbf { C }$$
the $x$-coordinate of the point of tangency is $t = \mathbf { D }$.
(0) $f ( t ) = t f ^ { \prime } ( t )$ (1) $f ^ { \prime } ( t ) = t f ( t )$ (2) $\sin t$ (3) $\sin ^ { 2 } t$ (4) $\cos ^ { 2 } t$ (5) $\sin t \cos t$ (6) $\frac { \pi } { 2 }$ (7) $\frac { \pi } { 3 }$ (8) $\frac { \pi } { 4 }$ (9) $\frac { \pi } { 6 }$
(2) For each of $\mathbf { E }$ $\sim$ $\mathbf { G }$ in the following sentences, choose the correct answer from among (0) $\sim$ (9) below.
The antiderivative of the function $f ( x )$ is
$$\int f ( x ) d x = \mathbf { E } \left( 2 x ^ { 2 } - 2 x \mathbf { F } - \mathbf { G } \right) + C ,$$
where $C$ is the integral constant.
(0) $\frac { 1 } { 8 }$ (1) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$ (2) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ (3) 2 (4) 4 (5) 8 (6) $\sin x$ (7) $\cos x$ (8) $\sin 2 x$ (9) $\cos 2 x$
(3) Thus, the area $S$ of the region bounded by the curve $y = f ( x )$ and the tangent $\ell$ is
$$S = \frac { \mathbf { H } } { \mathbf { I J } } \pi ^ { \mathbf { K } } - \frac { \mathbf { L } } { \mathbf{M} } .$$
On the coordinate plane, there is an annular region formed by the intersection of the exterior of the circle $x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 3$ and the interior of the circle $x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 4$ . A person wants to use a straight scanning rod of length 1 to scan a certain region $R$ above the $x$-axis of this annular region. He designs the scanning rod with black and white ends moving respectively on the semicircles $C _ { 1 } : x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 3 ( y \geq 0 )$ and $C _ { 2 } : x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 4 ( y \geq 0 )$ . Initially, the black end of the scanning rod is at point $A ( \sqrt { 3 } , 0 )$ and the white end is at point $B$ on $C _ { 2 }$ . Then the black and white ends move counterclockwise along $C _ { 1 }$ and $C _ { 2 }$ respectively until the white end reaches point $B ^ { \prime } ( - 2,0 )$ on $C _ { 2 }$ , at which point scanning stops.
(Continuing from Question 19) Let $\Omega$ denote the region swept by the scanning rod in the first quadrant. Find the areas of $\Omega$ and $R$ respectively. (Non-multiple choice question, 6 points)
