Normal Line Area Volume 678A0A
1. **Problem statement:**
Find the value of $t$ where line $WY$ is normal to the curve $y=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+1$ at point $B(2,4)$, then find the area of the shaded region bounded by the curve, line $BQ$ (vertical through $B$), and line $WY$, and finally find the volume generated when this shaded region is revolved about the $y$-axis.
2. **Step a: Find $t$ (the x-intercept of line $WY$ normal to the curve at $B$).**
- The curve is $y=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+1$.
- The derivative (slope of tangent) is $y' = x$.
- At $B(2,4)$, slope of tangent is $m_{tangent} = 2$.
- Slope of normal line is $m_{normal} = -\frac{1}{m_{tangent}} = -\frac{1}{2}$.
- Equation of normal line $WY$ passing through $B(2,4)$:
$$y - 4 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$$
- Find $t$ where $WY$ meets the x-axis ($y=0$):
$$0 - 4 = -\frac{1}{2}(t - 2) \implies -4 = -\frac{1}{2}t + 1 \implies -5 = -\frac{1}{2}t \implies t = 10$$
3. **Step b: Find the area of the shaded region.**
- The shaded region is bounded by the curve from $x=0$ to $x=2$, the vertical line $BQ$ at $x=2$, and the normal line $WY$ from $B$ to $Y(t,0)$.
- The area under the curve from $x=0$ to $x=2$:
$$A_1 = \int_0^2 \left(\frac{1}{2}x^{2} + 1\right) dx = \left[\frac{1}{6}x^{3} + x\right]_0^2 = \frac{8}{6} + 2 = \frac{4}{3} + 2 = \frac{10}{3}$$
- The area under the normal line $WY$ from $x=2$ to $x=10$:
Equation of $WY$: $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 5$
$$A_2 = \int_2^{10} \left(-\frac{1}{2}x + 5\right) dx = \left[-\frac{1}{4}x^{2} + 5x\right]_2^{10} = \left(-\frac{1}{4} \times 100 + 50\right) - \left(-\frac{1}{4} \times 4 + 10\right) = ( -25 + 50 ) - ( -1 + 10 ) = 25 - 9 = 16$$
- The total area of the shaded region is the sum of $A_1$ and $A_2$:
$$A = \frac{10}{3} + 16 = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{48}{3} = \frac{58}{3}$$
4. **Step c: Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the shaded region about the y-axis.**
- The volume is generated by revolving the region bounded by the curve and the normal line about the y-axis.
- Use the shell method: volume $V = 2\pi \int_{x=0}^{x=10} x \cdot f(x) \, dx$ where $f(x)$ is the height of the region at $x$.
- For $0 \leq x \leq 2$, height is the curve $y=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+1$.
- For $2 < x \leq 10$, height is the normal line $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 5$.
- Compute volume:
$$V = 2\pi \left( \int_0^2 x \left(\frac{1}{2}x^{2} + 1\right) dx + \int_2^{10} x \left(-\frac{1}{2}x + 5\right) dx \right)$$
- Calculate first integral:
$$\int_0^2 x \left(\frac{1}{2}x^{2} + 1\right) dx = \int_0^2 \left(\frac{1}{2}x^{3} + x\right) dx = \left[\frac{1}{8}x^{4} + \frac{1}{2}x^{2}\right]_0^2 = \left(\frac{1}{8} \times 16 + \frac{1}{2} \times 4\right) = 2 + 2 = 4$$
- Calculate second integral:
$$\int_2^{10} x \left(-\frac{1}{2}x + 5\right) dx = \int_2^{10} \left(-\frac{1}{2}x^{2} + 5x\right) dx = \left[-\frac{1}{6}x^{3} + \frac{5}{2}x^{2}\right]_2^{10}$$
Evaluate:
$$= \left(-\frac{1}{6} \times 1000 + \frac{5}{2} \times 100\right) - \left(-\frac{1}{6} \times 8 + \frac{5}{2} \times 4\right) = (-166.6667 + 250) - (-1.3333 + 10) = 83.3333 - 8.6667 = 74.6666$$
- Total volume:
$$V = 2\pi (4 + 74.6666) = 2\pi \times 78.6666 = 157.3333\pi = \frac{472}{3}\pi$$
**Final answers:**
- a. $t = 10$
- b. Area of shaded region $= \frac{58}{3}$
- c. Volume of solid $= \frac{472}{3}\pi$
