To find the area under a curve, we integrate the function. To find the area bound between two curves, we integrate the difference of the functions. That is, we find:

\int\limits^a_b {(f(x)-g(x))} \, dx

If you think about it, we are really doing this with all integration, only the second function is just y=0.

First, we need to figure out which function is on top. In this case we know that 2x^2-24x+42 is a positive parabola while 7x-2x^2 is negative, so the negative parabola will be on top. It is always a good idea to draw a rough sketch of the graphs because the curves could intercept multiple times, flipping which graph is on top at different intervals.

Next, we need to determine the bounds. These will be where the two graphs intercept, so we can just set them equal to each other and solve for x:

2x^2-24x+42=7x-2x^2

Combine like terms:

4x^2-31x+42

Now factor and find the zeros. We can use the quadratic formula:

\frac{31+ \sqrt{31^2-4(4)(42)} }{8}

and

\frac{31- \sqrt{31^2-4(4)(42)} }{8}

x = 1.75 and 6

\int\limits^6_{1.75} {((7x-2x^2)-(2x^2-24x+42))} \, dx

\int\limits^6_{1.75} {(-4x^2+31x-42)} \, dx

Solve:

\frac{-4x^3}{3} + \frac{31x^2}{2} - 42x

Plug in bounds:

\frac{-4(6)^3}{3} + \frac{31(6)^2}{2} - 42(6)-(\frac{-4(1.75)^3}{3} + \frac{31(1.75)^2}{2} - 42(1.75)) = 51.17708

Brilliant_brown [7]
This is an examination to test your level of skill. By asking this quesiton to others, you do not show your true level and maybe be placed in a higher math than you are able.

remember
if ab=0
assume that a and/or b=0

fidn what 2 numbers add to 13 and multiply to -30
15 and -2
(p+15)(p-2)=0

set each to zero
p+15=0
p=-15

p-2=0
p=2

the roots are p=-15 and/or 2

Find three real numbers​ x, y, and z whose sum is 6 and the sum of whose squares is as small as possible. g
mart [117]
We're minimizing x^2+y^2+z^2 subject to x+y+z=6. Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-6)

with partial derivatives

\begin{cases}L_x=2x+\lambda\\L_y=2y+\lambda\\L_z=2z+\lambda\\L_\lambda=x+y+z-6\end{cases}

Set each partial derivative equal to 0:

\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=0\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=0\\x+y+z=6\end{cases}

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we find

2x-2y=0\implies x=y

Similarly, we can determine that x=z and y=z by taking any two of the first three equations. So if x=y=z determines a critical point, then

x+y+z=3x=6\implies x=y=z=2

So the smallest value for the sum of squares is 2^2+2^2+2^2=12 when (x,y,z)=(2,2,2).

What is the value of x (distance from the edge of the screen to the end of the wall) if the area of the screen is 40 m^2?
erica [24]

The value of x that is the length from the edge of the screen to the end of the wall is equal 3. This is derived from an equation which serves as a function of the Area. See the solution below.

<h3>

What is the calculation for the solution above?
</h3>

Recall that the area of the entire wall is 40m².

(10-2x) (16- 2x) = 40

Expanding the brackets, we have

160-20x-32x + 4x² = 40
4x² - 52x + 120 = 0
x² - 13x +30 = 0

Using the quadratic equation

x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

Where a = 1
b  = 13
c = 30

x = (13 ± 7)/2

Thus x = 10; or x = 3.

x cannot be the answer because it invalidates 16-x<0;

Hence, the correct answer is x = 3
