Question from Rogerson, a student: Thanks for helping me with the previous problem. Can I ask you to help me again in this one? Thanks. Find the area, S, enclosed by the given curve(s) and the given line. Thanks a lot. You're a great help :) |
Rogerson,
Draw a diagram!!!
This time there is a region bounded by the two curves that has an area.
Solve the two equations to find the points where the curves intersect, x = a and x = b with a ≤ b. Between a and b the line is above the parabola so the area bounded by the curves is
