Step 1
Answer
To find (\theta), we use the coordinate of point P, which is ((\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{2})).
Starting from the parametric equations:
From (x = tan \theta):
[ tan \theta = \sqrt{3} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} ]
From (y = sin \theta):
[ sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} ]
However, both values of (\theta) must be consistent. Therefore, the value of (\theta) at point P is (\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}).
Step 2
Answer
The slope of the tangent at point P can be derived from the parametric equations:
Calculate ( \frac{dx}{d\theta} ) and ( \frac{dy}{d\theta} ):
[ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = sec^2 \theta ]
[ \frac{dy}{d\theta} = cos \theta ]
Then evaluate at (\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}):
[ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = sec^2(\frac{\pi}{3}) = 4 ] [ \frac{dy}{d\theta} = cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2} ]
The slope of the normal, which is the negative reciprocal:
[ m = -\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = -2 ]
Using the point ((\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{2})) and the slope to find the equation of the normal:
[ y - \frac{1}{2} = -2(x - \sqrt{3}) ]
Setting ( y = 0 ) to find Q:
[ 0 - \frac{1}{2} = -2(x - \sqrt{3}) ] [ x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ]
Thus, the coordinates of Q: (\left( k \sqrt{3}, 0 \right)) where (k = \frac{1}{2}).
Step 3
Answer
To find the volume of the solid of revolution, we use the formula:
[ V = \pi \int_{0}^{\sqrt{3}} y^2 dx ]
Substituting (y = sin \theta):
We change variable with respect to (\theta) by finding ( dx = \sec^2 \theta d\theta ):
[ V = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} (sin \theta)^2 sec^2 \theta d\theta ]
Using the identity ( (sin)^2 = 1 - (cos)^2 ):
[ V = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} (1 - cos^2 \theta) sec^2 \theta d\theta = \pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} (sec^2 \theta - 1) d\theta ]
The integral evaluates to:
[ \left[ tan \theta \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} = tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) - tan(0) = \sqrt{3} ]
Therefore, the volume:
[ V = \pi \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3}) = 3\sqrt{3}\pi ]
So the final volume of the solid of revolution is in the form with constants p and q.
