Integration Rule [Reverse Power Rule]: $\displaystyle \int {x^n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} + C$

Integration Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \int {cf(x)} \, dx = c \int {f(x)} \, dx$

Integration Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \int {[f(x) \pm g(x)]} \, dx = \int {f(x)} \, dx \pm \int {g(x)} \, dx$

Integration Rule [Fundamental Theorem of Calculus 1]: $\displaystyle \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx = F(b) - F(a)$

Area of a Region Formula: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^b_a {[f(x) - g(x)]} \, dx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

F: y = √(15 - x)

G: y = √(15 - 3x)

H: y = 0

Step 2: Find Bounds of Integration

Solve each equation for the x-value for our bounds of integration.

F

Set y = 0: 0 = √(15 - x)
[Equality Property] Square both sides: 0 = 15 - x
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x term: -x = -15
[Division Property of Equality] Isolate x: x = 15

G

Set y = 0: 0 = √(15 - 3x)
[Equality Property] Square both sides: 0 = 15 - 3x
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x term: -3x = -15
[Division Property of Equality] Isolate x: x = 5

This tells us that our bounds of integration for function F is from 0 to 15 and our bounds of integration for function G is 0 to 5.

We see that we need to subtract function G from function F to get our area of the region (See attachment graph for visual).

Step 3: Find Area of Region

Integration Part 1

Rewrite Area of Region Formula [Integration Property - Subtraction]: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx - \int\limits^d_c {g(x)} \, dx$
[Integral] Substitute in variables and limits [Area of Region Formula]: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^{15}_0 {\sqrt{15 - x}} \, dx - \int\limits^5_0 {\sqrt{15 - 3x}} \, dx$
[Area] [Integral] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle A = \int\limits^{15}_0 {(15 - x)^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, dx - \int\limits^5_0 {(15 - 3x)^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, dx$

Step 4: Identify Variables

Set variables for u-substitution for both integrals.

Integral 1:

u = 15 - x

du = -dx

Integral 2:

z = 15 - 3x

dz = -3dx

Step 5: Find Area of Region

Integration Part 2

[Area] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle A = -\int\limits^{15}_0 {-(15 - x)^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, dx + \frac{1}{3}\int\limits^5_0 {-3(15 - 3x)^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, dx$
[Area] U-Substitution: $\displaystyle A = -\int\limits^0_{15} {u^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, du + \frac{1}{3}\int\limits^0_{15} {z^{\frac{1}{2}}} \, dz$
[Area] Reverse Power Rule: $\displaystyle A = -(\frac{2u^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}) \bigg|\limit^0_{15} + \frac{1}{3}(\frac{2z^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}) \bigg|\limit^0_{15}$
[Area] Evaluate [Integration Rule - FTC 1]: $\displaystyle A = -(-10\sqrt{15}) + \frac{1}{3}(-10\sqrt{15})$
[Area] Multiply: $\displaystyle A = 10\sqrt{15} + \frac{-10\sqrt{15}}{3}$
[Area] Add: $\displaystyle A = \frac{20\sqrt{15}}{3}$
