Consider the solid whose base in the -plane is the region bounded by the curvethe -axis, and the vertical lines and . The cross-sections of this solid taken by planes perpendicular to the -axis are all equilateral triangles. Find the volume of this solid. [3 points]If the volume is , compute .\
Steps for Python code:
- Define symbol x.
- Define the function .
- Integrate from 1 to 2.
- Extract p, q, r from the result.
- Calculate sum.
Let's write the code. [PYTHON] from sympy import symbols, integrate, ln, sqrt, simplify
x = symbols('x')
Side length s(x) = sqrt(x + x*ln(x))
Area A(x) = (sqrt(3)/4) * s(x)^2 = (sqrt(3)/4) * (x + x*ln(x))
We factor out sqrt(3)/4 for the integration part to keep it simple first
integrand = x + x * ln(x) integral_result = integrate(integrand, (x, 1, 2))
print(f"Integral result: {integral_result}")
Now multiply by sqrt(3)/4
volume = (sqrt(3)/4) * integral_result print(f"Volume: {volume}")
We need the form sqrt(3)(p + qln(2))/r
Let's simplify the integral result to see p, q, r
Integral result should be of form (A + B*ln(2))/C
Then Volume = sqrt(3)/4 * (A + Bln(2))/C = sqrt(3)(A + B*ln(2))/(4C)
So p=A, q=B, r=4C (assuming fractions are simplified)
Let's check the value of integral_result
It was 3/4 + 2*ln(2) based on manual calc.
Let's see what sympy gives.
[/PYTHON] ps_output: Integral result: 2log(2) + 3/4 Volume: sqrt(3)(2*log(2) + 3/4)/4
The volume of the solid is given by the integral of the cross-sectional area from to . The side length of the equilateral triangle at position is . The area of an equilateral triangle with side is .
The volume is: [ V = \int_{1}^{2} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (x + x \ln x) , dx = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \int_{1}^{2} (x + x \ln x) , dx ]
From the Python output, the integral evaluates to . Substituting this back into the volume expression: [ V = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left( \frac{3}{4} + 2 \ln 2 \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left( \frac{3 + 8 \ln 2}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}(3 + 8 \ln 2)}{16} ]
Comparing this to the form , we have:
We need to find : [ p + q + r = 3 + 8 + 16 = 27 ]
\boxed{27}
