Here is a sketch of a curve.
1 answer:
Answer:
The turning point of the graph is at (3,-16)
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of curve is given as:
y = x² + ax + b
The two point for which the equation satisfies is (0,-7) and (7,0).
Substitute (0,-7) in the general equation:
y = x² + ax + b
-7 = 0² + a(0) + b
b = -7
Substitute (7,0) in the general equation:
y = x² + ax + b
0 = 7² + 7a + b
Where b = -7
0 = 49 + 7a - 7
0 = 42 + 7a
a = -6
The equation of the curve is:
a = -6 and b = -7
y = x² + ax + b
y = x² - 6x - 7
Graph of the equation is attached below.
We can see that the the turning point of the graph is at (3,-16)

The area of the surface is given exactly by the integral,
We have
so the area is
We split up the domain of integration into 10 subintervals,
[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [4, 9/2], [9/2, 5]
where the left and right endpoints for the -th subinterval are, respectively,
with midpoint
with .
Over each subinterval, we interpolate with the quadratic polynomial,
Then
It turns out that the latter integral reduces significantly to
which is about 651.918, so that the area is approximately .
Compare this to actual value of the integral, which is closer to 1967.
