解答
(a)
We want
x+23x−1=A+x+2B
Write the right hand side over the common denominator x+2:
A+x+2B=x+2A(x+2)+B
So
3x−1=A(x+2)+B
Expanding,
3x−1=Ax+2A+B
Compare coefficients:
A=3
and
2A+B=−1
Substitute A=3:
6+B=−1
so
B=−7
Therefore
x+23x−1=3−x+27
(b)
The volume of revolution about the x-axis is
V=π∫14y2dx
Using part (a),
y=3−x+27
So
y2=(3−x+27)2=9−x+242+(x+2)249
Therefore
V=π∫14(9−x+242+(x+2)249)dx
Integrate:
∫(9−x+242+(x+2)249)dx=9x−42ln(x+2)−x+249
So
V=π[9x−42ln(x+2)−x+249]14
Apply the limits:
V=π((36−42ln6−649)−(9−42ln3−349))=π(36−9−649+349−42ln6+42ln3)=π(27+649−42ln2)=π(6211−42ln2)
Hence the exact volume is
π(6211−42ln2)
