MHB Quick Surface Area and Application Question

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around two mathematical problems involving surface area and cardiac output calculations. For the first problem, the user struggles with the surface area formula and u-substitution, ultimately seeking guidance on how to proceed after reaching a complex integral. The second problem concerns calculating cardiac output, where the user reports a result of 78.533 using Simpson's Rule with a specified delta x. The thread highlights the need for clarification on both mathematical approaches and invites further input from others for solutions. Assistance is requested to resolve these calculations effectively.

For the first one, I'm completely dumbfounded. I used the SA formula for and ended up getting 2 $π\int_{π/6}^{0} \, cos2x * √1+4sin(2x)^2 ) $
And took u = sin2x, ultimately giving me $ π\int_{√3/2}^{0} \,d (1+ 4u^2)^(1/2) $

I'm lost as to what to do next. I'm almost definite that my u-substitution is incorrect.

Also for the second one, I used the formula for cardiac output, which is mg/ $\int_{b}^{a} \,d $ , which gave me 78.533 by using the Simpson's Rule in the denominator with delta x = 2.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

For the first one:

The formula is the following:
$$S= \int 2 \pi y ds , \ \text{ where } ds=\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^2}dx$$

$\displaystyle{\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos{(2x)}}{dx}=-2\sin{(2x)} }$

$\displaystyle{\sqrt{1+(\frac{dy}{dx})^2}=\sqrt{1+(-2\sin{(2x)} )^2}=\sqrt{1+4\sin^2{(2x)}}}$

So $$S=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 2 \pi y \sqrt{1+4\sin^2{(2x)}}dx=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 2 \pi \cos{(2x)} \sqrt{1+4\sin^2{(2x)}}dx$$

Set $u=\sin{(2x)}$, then:
when $x=0 \Rightarrow u=0$
when $x=\frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow u=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$du=2 \cos{(2x)}dx$

$$S=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 2 \pi \cos{(2x)} \sqrt{1+4\sin^2{(2x)}}dx=\int_0^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \pi \sqrt{1+4u^2}du=\int_0^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \pi \sqrt{1+(2u)^2}du$$

Set $2u=\tan{w}$, then:
when $u=0 \Rightarrow w=0$
when $u=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow \tan{w}=\sqrt{3} \Rightarrow w=\frac{\pi}{3}$
$2du=\frac{1}{\cos^2{w}}dw$

$$S=\int_0^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \pi \sqrt{1+(2u)^2}du=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{1+\tan^2{w}}\frac{1}{\cos^2{w}}dw=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{\frac{1}{\cos^2{w}}}\frac{1}{ \cos^2{w}}dw=\int_0^{ \frac{ \pi}{3}} \frac{\pi}{2} \frac{1}{ \cos^3{w}}dw=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{ \pi}{3}} \frac{\cos{w}}{ \cos^4{w}}dw=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{ \pi}{3}} \frac{\cos{w}}{ (1-\sin^2{w})^2}dw$$

Set $v=\sin{w}$, then:
when $w=0 \Rightarrow v=0$
when $w=\frac{\pi}{3} \Rightarrow v=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$dv=\cos{w}dw$

$$S=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{ \pi}{3}} \frac{\cos{w}}{ (1-\sin^2{w})^2}dw=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \frac{1}{ (1-v^2)^2}dv=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \frac{1}{ (v^2-1)^2}dv= \\ \frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} (\frac{A}{ (v-1)}+\frac{B}{v+1})^2dv$$

Calculate the values of $A$ and $B$ as followed:
$\displaystyle{\frac{A}{ v-1}+\frac{B}{v+1}=\frac{1}{(v-1)(v+1)}}$

Can you continue from here?
 
Excellent. Thank you for your insightful response.
 
Does anyone know the solution to the second question? I used the formula for cardiac output, which is mg/ ∫abd , which gave me 78.533 by using the Simpson's Rule in the denominator with delta x = 2.

Thanks.
