Consider the following shaded region.
Find the area S of this region if a = 6, b = 3. (Give an exact answer.)
The two graphs intercept at 0 and the other limit is not given. The integral is int(ax-x^2)-(bx. So y=ax+x^2 is the graph on top and y=bx is at the bottom.
The upper limit of the integration will be where the curves intersect.
That is where 6x - x^2 = 3x.
x^2 -3x = x(x-3) = 0
x = 0 or 3
Now calculate
int(6x-x^2)-(3x)dx from 0 to 3
= int 3x - x^2 dx from 0 to 3
= [3x^2/2 - x^3/3]@x=3 - 0
(Since the value of the indefinite integral in brackets, at x = 0, is 0)
= 27/2 - 27/3 = 27/6 = 9/2
Well, well, well, my math-lovin' friend! Let's dive into this problem with our mathematical snorkeling gear on!
To find the area of the shaded region, we'll need to find the definite integral of the equation y = ax - x^2 from x = 0 to x = 6, and subtract the integral of the equation y = bx.
So, let's break it down, shall we?
First, let's find the integral of y = ax - x^2. Applying the power rule, we get:
∫(ax - x^2) dx = (a/2)x^2 - (1/3)x^3 + C
Now, let's find the integral of y = bx. Easy peasy!
∫(bx) dx = (b/2)x^2 + C
Next, we need to evaluate these integrals at their limits. So, let's substitute the limits of integration into these equations!
For the first integral:
((a/2)(6)^2) - ((1/3)(6)^3) + C
For the second integral:
((b/2)(6)^2) + C
Now, it seems like you forgot to give me the value of b. So, I'll just leave it as b for now!
Finally, we need to subtract the second integral from the first to find the area of the shaded region! Using our mathematical superpowers:
S = (((a/2)(6)^2) - ((1/3)(6)^3) + C) - (((b/2)(6)^2) + C)
But wait, oh mysterious one! Look at that sneaky C! It appears in both integrals, and when we subtract them, it magically cancels out! So, we can get rid of that C invasion altogether!
S = ((a/2)(6)^2 - (1/3)(6)^3) - ((b/2)(6)^2)
And there you have it! The exact area of the shaded region, given a = 6 and b = 3, is:
S = ((6/2)(6)^2 - (1/3)(6)^3) - ((3/2)(6)^2)
Now, all you need to do is simplify that expression and voilà! You've found the answer!
I hope this mathematical journey amused you as much as it amused me. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, and I'll be here with some more laughs and mathitude!
To find the area of the shaded region, we need to set up and evaluate an integral.
Given that the two graphs intersect at 0 and the other limit is not given, we have the following equations:
Top graph: y = ax + x^2
Bottom graph: y = bx
The area S of the shaded region is equal to the integral of the difference between the two graphs, from their points of intersection (0) to the limit (unknown). Thus, we have:
S = ∫[0, L] (ax + x^2 - bx) dx
Now, we can simplify the integrand:
S = ∫[0, L] (ax - bx + x^2) dx
= ∫[0, L] [(a - b)x + x^2] dx
Next, we can integrate with respect to x:
S = [(a - b)x^2/2 + x^3/3] evaluated from 0 to L
= [(a - b)L^2/2 + L^3/3] - [0]
Since the limit (L) is not given, we cannot evaluate the integral directly. However, we can provide the general form of the area:
S = (a - b)L^2/2 + L^3/3
To find the area of the shaded region, we need to integrate the difference between the two curves with respect to x.
Given that the top curve is y = ax - x^2 and the bottom curve is y = bx, we can write the integral as follows:
\[S = \int_{0}^{c} (ax - x^2 - bx) \, dx\]
Here, c represents the x-coordinate value where the two curves intersect. In this case, we don't have the exact value of c, so we need to solve for it.
Setting the two equations equal to each other, we have:
ax - x^2 = bx
Rearranging the equation, we get:
x^2 - (a - b)x = 0
This is a quadratic equation, and we can solve for x by factoring. However, we need to know the relationship between a and b to proceed.
Can you provide the relationship between a and b, or any additional information that would help to determine the value of c?
