1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to find the area of the region bounded by the curve , the x-axis, and the line for . Then, we need to find the volume of the solid generated by rotating about the x-axis, given that .
2. Solution Steps
(1) The area of the region is given by the integral of the function from to :
Since , we can write this as:
Let , then . When , . When , .
So, .
Therefore, the area is (assuming log refers to the natural logarithm). Thus the box 1 is
2.
(2) The volume of the solid generated by rotating about the x-axis is given by:
We are given that . We can also rewrite as . Thus,
.
So,
Thus, we are told and not . So the box 3 is
2. So, volume is $V = \pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \tan^2(x) dx = \pi (\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) - \frac{\pi}{4}) = \pi(1 - \frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\pi(4 - \pi)}{4}$. So, box 5 is
4.
