(a) Using the substitution \( u = 4x + 2 \sin 2x \), or otherwise, show that

\[\int_{0}^{\pi} e^{4x+2 \sin 2x} \cos^2 x \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]

(5)

The curve shown in Figure 3, has equation

\[y = 6e^{2x+\sin 2x} \cos x\]

The region \( R \), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the positive x-axis, the positive y-axis and the curve.
The region \( R \) is rotated through \( 2\pi \) radians about the x-axis to form a solid.

(b) Use the answer to part (a) to find the volume of the solid formed, giving the answer in simplest form.

Solution to Part a: Integration by Substitution Method
Key Concepts Used:
  1. Substitution Method:
    Transform the integral using \( u = 4x + 2\sin 2x \).
  2. Derivative Calculation:
    Compute \(\frac{du}{dx}\) and express \( dx \) in terms of \( du \).
  3. Trigonometric Identity:
    Simplify \(\frac{du}{dx}\) using \( 1 + \cos 2x = 2\cos^2 x \).
  4. 4. Change of Limits:
    Adjust the integration limits based on the substitution.
Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Substitute \( u = 4x + 2\sin 2x \):

Let:

\[ u = 4x + 2\sin 2x\]

Compute the derivative:

\[\frac{du}{dx} = 4 + 4\cos 2x = 4(1 + \cos 2x)\]

Using the identity \( 1 + \cos 2x = 2\cos^2 x \):

\[\frac{du}{dx} = 8\cos^2 x \Rightarrow dx = \frac{du}{8\cos^2 x}\]

2. Change the Limits:

  • When \( x = 0 \):
    \[ u = 4(0) + 2\sin 0 = 0\]
  • When \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \):
    \[ u = 4\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 2\sin\pi = 2\pi\]

3. Rewrite the Integral:

Substitute \( u \) and \( dx \) into the original integral:

\[\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} e^{4x+2\sin 2x} \cos^2 x \, dx = \int_0^{2\pi} e^u \cos^2 x \cdot \frac{du}{8\cos^2 x}\]

The \(\cos^2 x\) terms cancel out:

\[\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{e^u}{8} \, du = \frac{1}{8} \int_0^{2\pi} e^u \, du\]

4. Evaluate the Integral:

\[\frac{1}{8} [e^u]_{0}^{2\pi} = \frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – e^0) = \frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]

Final Answer:
\[\frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]
Final Answer:
\[\frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]

Solution to Part b: Volume of Revolution about x-axis
Key Concepts Used:
  1. Volume of Revolution:
    Use the formula \( V = \pi \int_a^b y^2 \, dx \).
  2. Substitution from Part (a):
    Relate the integrand to the result obtained in part (a).
  3. Simplification:
    Express \( y^2 \) in terms of the integrand from part (a).
Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Express \( y^2 \):

Given:

\[ y = 6e^{2x + \sin 2x} \cos x\]

Square both sides:

\[ y^2 = 36e^{4x + 2\sin 2x} \cos^2 x\]

2. Set Up the Volume Integral:

The volume \( V \) is:

\[ V = \pi \int_0^{\pi/2} y^2 \, dx = 36\pi \int_0^{\pi/2} e^{4x + 2\sin 2x} \cos^2 x \, dx\]

Notice that the integrand matches part (a):

\[ \int_0^{\pi/2} e^{4x + 2\sin 2x} \cos^2 x \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]

3. Substitute the Result from Part (a):

\[ V = 36\pi \times \frac{1}{8} (e^{2\pi} – 1) = \frac{9}{2} \pi (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]

Final Answer:
\[\frac{9}{2} \pi (e^{2\pi} – 1)\]
