Q. Let f be the function given by f(x)=4x2−x3, and let ℓ be the line y=18−3x, where ℓ is tangent to the graph of f. Let R be the region bounded by the graph of f and the x axis, and let f(x)=4x2−0 be the region bounded by the graph of f, the line ℓ, and the x-axis, as shown.(a) Show that ℓ is tangent to the graph of f(x)=4x2−5f(x)=4x2−6 at the point f(x)=4x2−7.(b) Find the area of f(x)=4x2−0.(c) Find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the x-axis.
Calculate f(3) and f′(3): To show that the line y=18−3x is tangent to the graph of f(x) at x=3, we first calculate f(3) and f′(3).
Find area of region S: Next, we find the area of region S, bounded by f(x), the line y=18−3x, and the x-axis from x=0 to x=3.
Calculate volume of solid: Finally, we calculate the volume of the solid formed by revolving region R about the x-axis.
