Find the volume generated by rotating about the \(x\) -axis the regions bounded by the graphs of each set of equations. $$y=\sqrt{x e^{-x}}, x=1, x=2$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
\( \pi (-2e^{-2} + e^{-1}) \)

Step by step solution

01

- Understand the Problem

We need to find the volume generated by rotating the given region about the x-axis. The equations are given as: 1. \(y = \sqrt{x e^{-x}}\)2. \(x = 1\)3. \(x = 2\)
02

- Set Up the Integral for Volume

The volume of a solid of revolution about the x-axis is given by the formula: \[ V = \pi \int_{a}^{b} [f(x)]^2 \, dx \]Here, \(f(x) = \sqrt{x e^{-x}}\). The limits of integration, \(a\) and \(b\), are 1 and 2, respectively.
03

- Express the Integrand

First, simplify the integrand. Since \(f(x) = \sqrt{x e^{-x}}\),\[ [f(x)]^2 = (\sqrt{x e^{-x}})^2 = x e^{-x} \]So, the integral becomes:\[ V = \pi \int_{1}^{2} x e^{-x} \, dx \]
04

- Integrate the Function

To integrate \(x e^{-x}\), we use integration by parts. Let \(u = x\) and \(dv = e^{-x} dx\). Then \(du = dx\) and \(v = -e^{-x}\). Using integration by parts formula \(\int u dv = uv - \int v du\), we get:\[ \int x e^{-x} \, dx = -x e^{-x} - \int -e^{-x} \, dx \]Simplify and integrate:\[ -x e^{-x} + e^{-x} \]Evaluate this from 1 to 2.
05

- Evaluate the Definite Integral

Substitute the limits into the antiderivative:\[ \left[ -x e^{-x} + e^{-x} \right]_{1}^{2} = \left( -2 e^{-2} + e^{-2} \right) - \left( -1 e^{-1} + e^{-1} \right) \]Simplify:\[ = -e^{-2} - (-e^{-1}) + (e^{-1} - e^{-2}) \]Combine like terms:\[ = -2e^{-2} + e^{-1} \]
06

- Calculate the Final Volume

Multiply the result by \(\pi\) to get the volume:\[ V = \pi (-2e^{-2} + e^{-1}) \]

integration by parts
Integration by parts is a crucial technique for solving integrals involving the product of two functions. The method is derived from the product rule for differentiation and is represented by the formula \[\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du \]. This formula allows us to break down complex integrals into simpler ones.

Understanding each part of the formula is very important:

Life science: drug dosage. Suppose that an oral dose of a drug is taken. Over time, the drug is assimilated in the body and excreted through the urine. The total amount of the drug that has passed through the body in time T is given by $$ \int_{0}^{T} E(t) d t$$ where \(E(t)\) is the rate of excretion of the drug. A typical rate-ofexcretion function is \(E(t)=t e^{-k t},\) where \(k>0\) and \(t\) is the time, in hours. Use this information for Exercises 49 and \(50 .\) Find \(\int_{0}^{\infty} E(t) d t,\) and interpret the answer. That is, what does the integral represent?
