Algebra.Com's Answer #825563 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the definite integral to find the area between the x-axis and f(x) over the indicated interval. Check first to see if the graph crosses the x-axis in the given interval. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "f(x)=36-x^2;[-1,12] \n" ); document.write( "\======================= \n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 36 ---> x-intercepts at -6 and +6 \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Int(36 - x^2) = g(x) = 36x - x^3/3 + C \n" ); document.write( "Area from -1 to +6 = g(6) - g(-1) \n" ); document.write( "Area = 216 - (-36 + 1/3) = 179 2/3 sq units \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "Area from 6 to 12: \n" ); document.write( "Area = g(12) - g(6) = 288 sq units ------> you can do the calculations. \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "The area from 6 to 12 is below the x-axis, sometimes viewed as negative. \n" ); document.write( "Subtracting would give a negative area, so add them. \n" ); document.write( " |
