1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the area of the region SS bounded by the curve y=tanxy = \tan x, the x-axis, and the line x=π4x = \frac{\pi}{4} for 0xπ40 \le x \le \frac{\pi}{4}. Then, we need to find the volume of the solid generated by rotating SS about the x-axis, given that (tanxx)=tan3x(\tan x - x)' = \tan^3 x.

2. Solution Steps

(1) The area of the region SS is given by the integral of the function y=tanxy = \tan x from 00 to π4\frac{\pi}{4}:
A=0π4tanxdxA = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan x dx
Since tanx=sinxcosx\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}, we can write this as:
A=0π4sinxcosxdxA = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} dx
Let u=cosxu = \cos x, then du=sinxdxdu = -\sin x dx. When x=0x = 0, u=cos0=1u = \cos 0 = 1. When x=π4x = \frac{\pi}{4}, u=cosπ4=12=22u = \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
So, A=1221udu=lnu122=(ln22ln1)=(ln2ln20)=(12ln2ln2)=12ln2A = \int_1^{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} -\frac{1}{u} du = -\ln |u| \Big|_1^{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = -(\ln \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} - \ln 1) = -(\ln \sqrt{2} - \ln 2 - 0) = -(\frac{1}{2} \ln 2 - \ln 2) = \frac{1}{2} \ln 2.
Therefore, the area SS is 12log2\frac{1}{2} \log 2 (assuming log refers to the natural logarithm). Thus the box 1 is
2.
(2) The volume of the solid generated by rotating SS about the x-axis is given by:
V=π0π4(tanx)2dx=π0π4tan2xdxV = \pi \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} (\tan x)^2 dx = \pi \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan^2 x dx
We are given that (tanxx)=tan3x(\tan x - x)' = \tan^3 x. We can also rewrite tan2x\tan^2 x as sec2x1\sec^2 x - 1. Thus,
tan2xdx=(sec2x1)dx=tanxx\int \tan^2 x dx = \int (\sec^2 x - 1) dx = \tan x - x.
So, V=π0π4tan2xdx=π[tanxx]0π4=π[(tanπ4π4)(tan00)]=π[(1π4)(00)]=π(1π4)=π(4π4)V = \pi \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan^2 x dx = \pi [\tan x - x]_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} = \pi [(\tan \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{4}) - (\tan 0 - 0)] = \pi [(1 - \frac{\pi}{4}) - (0 - 0)] = \pi (1 - \frac{\pi}{4}) = \pi (\frac{4 - \pi}{4})
Thus, we are told (tanxx)=tan2(x)sec2(x)=sec2(x)1(\tan x - x)' = \tan^2(x)\sec^2(x) = \sec^2(x) - 1 and not tan3(x)\tan^3(x). 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.

3. Final Answer

(1) 2
(2) 2
(3) 4
