The region R is bounded by the curve y=sqrt(x)+5/sqrt(x) the x-axis and the lines x = 3, x = 4. Find the volume generated when R is rotated through four right-angles about the x-axis. Give your answer correct to the nearest integer.

The general formula for a volume of rotation is pi times the integral of y^2. The first step is to square y. this can be done by squaring the first term, squaring the last term and finding twice the pr...

The radius of a circular disc is increasing at a constant rate of 0.003cm/s. Find the rate at which the area is increasing when the radius is 20cm.

The rate at which the area is increasing, dA/dt, can be written with terms we know or can find out easily: dA/dt=dA/dr x dr/dt.Area of a disc, A = (pi)r^2dA/dr=2(pi)rRate of change of radius, dr/d...

The first term of an infinite geometric series is 48. The ratio of the series is 0.6. (a) Find the third term of the series. (b) Find the sum to infinity. (c) The nth term of the series is u_n. Find the value of the sum from n=4 to infinity of u_n.

Note here: u_n indicates u subscript n.

(a) u_1 = 48 and the ratio, r = 0.6

Using a calculator, u_2 = 48 x 0.6 = 28.8

u_3 = 28.8 x 0.6 = 17.28

(b...
