Question
Consider the function f(x)=√xsinx, 0<x<π.
Consider the region bounded by the curve y=f(x), the x-axis and the lines x=π6, x=π3.
Show that the x-coordinate of the minimum point on the curve y=f(x) satisfies the equation tanx=2x.
Determine the values of x for which f(x) is a decreasing function.
Sketch the graph of y=f(x) showing clearly the minimum point and any asymptotic behaviour.
Find the coordinates of the point on the graph of f where the normal to the graph is parallel to the line y=−x.
This region is now rotated through 2π radians about the x-axis. Find the volume of revolution.
