Algebra.Com's Answer #208308 by nabla(475) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, find where x=x^2 (this gives the end points of the closed interior). This occurs when 1=x and 0=x. So, we are interested in the closed interval [0,1].\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you will note by graphing that x>=x^2 throughout [0,1]. IE. .5>.25 etc.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we integrate from 0 to 1 of (x-x^2)dx.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is (x^2/2) -(x^3/3) evaluated from 0 to 1 so we have (1/2)-(1/3)=1/6. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
