A tunnel is defined by revolved around the x-axis within the domain . Suddenly, the whole tunnel is filled completely with cement. Magic happens and only the cement cast is left. If , the volume of the cement cast in cubic units, can be represented in the form , where and are integers, find .
NB: Please evaluate the integral by hand, or you'll miss out on the fun!

The area of the circle at any point in the interval x ∈ [ 0 , 2 0 π ] is π [ f ( x ) ] 2 = π ( s i n x + 5 ) 2 . Since x varies from 0 to 2 0 π , the volume is given by V = ∫ 0 2 0 π π ( s i n x + 5 ) 2 d x = π ∫ 0 2 0 π s i n 2 x d x + 1 0 π ∫ 0 2 0 π s i n x d x + 2 5 π ∫ 0 2 0 π d x .
π ∫ 0 2 0 π s i n 2 x d x = 1 0 π 2
1 0 π ∫ 0 2 0 π s i n x d x = 0
2 5 π ∫ 0 2 0 π d x = 5 0 0 π 2
∴ V = 1 0 π 2 + 0 + 5 0 0 π 2 = 5 1 0 π 2
We conclude that a = 5 1 0 and b = 2 . Therefore:
a + b = 5 1 2
