Question

I NEED HELP FAST, THANKS! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

  33 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

A (graphing) calculator shows you that f(4) ≈ 8, and f(8) ≈ 8.5. The curve is almost a straight line between, so the area is approximately ...

  A = (1/2)(8 + 8.5)(4) = 33

__

If you do the integration, it gets a bit messy.

  $\displaystyle\dfrac{5}{7}\int_4^8{x^{2/7}}\,dx+\dfrac{1}{2}\int_4^8{x^{4/9}}\,dx+\int_4^8{6}\,dx\\\\=\left.\left(\dfrac{5}{9}x^{9/7}+\dfrac{9}{26}x^{13/9}+6x\right)\right|_4^8\approx 33.16$

The appropriate answer choice is 33 square units.
