document.write( "it gives a point on the y - axis, (0,4) and this goes across to to meet the curve, and that is the shaded area, \r

document.write( "how would i go about finding this out? i filled integration in for 4 and 0, but it isnt workiong :( thanks \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #91256 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The line y=4 meets the y=sqrt(x) curve at (16,0). \n" ); document.write( "Is the following what you have as the area under \n" ); document.write( "the line,above the curve, and in the 1st Quadrant? \n" ); document.write( "Area = integral from 0 to 16 of 4dx - integral from 0 to 16 of x^(1/2)dx? \n" ); document.write( "= 64 - (2/3)(64) \n" ); document.write( "= (1/3)64 \n" ); document.write( "= 21 1/3 \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
