Let $f(x) = e^{2x}$. Let $R$ be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the graph of $f$, the coordinate axes, and the vertical line $x = k$, where $k > 0$. The region $R$ is shown in the figure above.
(a) Write, but do not evaluate, an expression involving an integral that gives the perimeter of $R$ in terms of $k$.
(b) The region $R$ is rotated about the $x$-axis to form a solid. Find the volume, $V$, of the solid in terms of $k$.
(c) The volume $V$, found in part (b), changes as $k$ changes. If $\frac{dk}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}$, determine $\frac{dV}{dt}$ when $k = \frac{1}{2}$.

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.

Consider a twice differentiable function $y ( x )$ in an $x y$ plane which connects two points $A ( - 1,2 )$ and $B ( 1,2 )$. Let $S$ be outer surface area of the cylindrical object created by rotation of the curve $y ( x )$ about the $x$ axis. Answer the following questions.
(1) Prove that the surface area $S$ is given by
$$\begin{aligned} S & = 2 \pi \int _ { - 1 } ^ { 1 } F \left( y , y ^ { \prime } \right) \mathrm { d } x \\ F \left( y , y ^ { \prime } \right) & = y \sqrt { 1 + \left( y ^ { \prime } \right) ^ { 2 } } \end{aligned}$$
where $y ^ { \prime } = \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }$.
(2) Let the curve $y ( x )$ satisfy the following Euler-Lagrange equation for arbitrary $x$:
$$\frac { \partial F } { \partial y } - \frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm {~d} x } \frac { \partial F } { \partial y ^ { \prime } } = 0$$
Considering Eq. (2.3) along with $\frac { \mathrm { d} F } { \mathrm {~d} x }$, prove that the following relation holds:
$$F - y ^ { \prime } \frac { \partial F } { \partial y ^ { \prime } } = c$$
Here $c$ is a constant.
(3) Express a differential equation satisfied by the curve $y ( x )$ using $y , y ^ { \prime } , c$.
(4) Represent the curve $y ( x )$ as a function of $x$ and $c$.
Obtain an equation which should be satisfied by the constant $c$.
