1.25 diagram 1
Figure 3 shows part of the curve C\displaystyle C with equation y=34x\displaystyle y = 3\sqrt{4-x} and part of the line l\displaystyle l with equation px+qy+r=0\displaystyle px + qy + r = 0 where p\displaystyle p and r\displaystyle r are integers and q\displaystyle q is prime.
The curve C\displaystyle C cuts the y\displaystyle y-axis at the point A\displaystyle A
The line l\displaystyle l is the tangent to C\displaystyle C at A\displaystyle A
(a) Find the value of p\displaystyle p, the value of q\displaystyle q and the value of r\displaystyle r
(5)
The finite region R\displaystyle R, shown shaded in Figure 3, is rotated through 360\displaystyle 360^\circ about the x\displaystyle x-axis.
