Question

Sketch the region enclosed by the given curves. Decide whether to integrate with respect to x or y. Draw a typical approximating rectangle. y = 3/x, y = 3/x2, x = 7 Find the area of the region

Answer 1

Answer:

A=8.4063$u^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Be the functions:

$y=\frac{3}{x};y=\frac{3}{x^{2}}:x=7$

according the graph:

$\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{3}{x} } \, dx -\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{3}{x^{2} } } \, dx =3\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{1}{x} } \, dx -3\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{1}{x^{2} } } \, dx=3(\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{1}{x} } \, dx -\int\limits^1_7 {\frac{1}{x^{2} } } \, dx)=3[lnx-\frac{1}{x}](1-7)=3[(ln7-ln1)-(\frac{1}{7}-1)]=3[(1.945-0)-(0.1428-1)]=3*(1.945+0.8571)=3*2.8021=8.4063u^{2}$
