the working integral with lower and upper limits
final answer
1 f(x)=4-x^2 and g(x)=x+2
2 f(x)e^x and g(x)=e^-x
3 f(x)= square root of x and g(x)=x3
4 f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=-x^2
thank you so much i will make this a reviewer. Godbless! Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) f(x)=4-x^2 and g(x)=x+2
4 - x^2 = x + 2
x^2 +x -2 = 0
(x+2)(x-1) = 0
x = -2 or x = 1
*************************************************
points of intersection are (-2, 0) and (1, 3)
lower limit is -2 and upper limit is 1
*************************************************
consider the graph of the two functions f(x) red line, g(x) green line
:
the area bounded by the curves is found by subtracting the area of the curve below from the area of the curve above, in our case
:
we integrate from -2 to 1 (f(x) - g(x))
:
f(x) - g(x) = 4 - x^2 -x - 2 = -x^2 -x + 2
:
now integrate term by term
:
******************************************************************
integral is -x^3/3 -x^2/2 + 2x, evaluate this for x1=-2 and x2=1
******************************************************************
:
(-1/3 -1/2 +2) - (8/3 -4/2 -4) = 7/6 - (-20/6) = 27/6 = 9/2 = 4.5
:
******************************
area is 4.5 square units

problems 2 - 4 are found by the same method
