Expert Solution

Step 1

The given equation of the curve is $y = \frac{x^{4}}{8} + \frac{1}{4 x^{2}}, 1 \leq x \leq 2$

The area of this curve by rotating the about the x-axis in the interval $1 \leq x \leq 2$ is given by:

$Area = \int_{1}^{2} (y d l) d x$ ,

Where, $d l = \sqrt{1 + {(\frac{d y}{d x})}^{2}}$

So,

$Area = \int_{1}^{2} (y \sqrt{1 + {(\frac{d y}{d x})}^{2}}) d x . . . . . . . . . (1)$

Step 2

To find the required area first find the derivative of the given curve by differentiating with respect to x.

$y = \frac{x^{4}}{8} + \frac{1}{4 x^{2}} \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x^{4}}{8} + \frac{1}{4 x^{2}}) \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x^{4}}{8}) + \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{4 x^{2}}) \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{4 x^{3}}{8} + \frac{- 2}{4 x} \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{x^{4} - 1}{2 x}$
