Answer:
The solution for f(x) = g(x) are;
x = 1 and x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations for the functions, g(x) are;
g(x) = 2 + x
The solution for f(x) = g(x), is given by equating the equations of the two functions as follows;
When f(x) = g(x), we have;
By cross multiplication, we have;
1 + 2·x = x × (2 + x) = 2·x + x²
∴ x² + 2·x - 2·x - 1 = 0
x² - 1 = 0
(x - 1)·(x + 1) = 0
x = 1, or x = -1
f(x) = g(x) = 2 + 1 = 3, or 2 - 1 = 1
Therefore, the solution for f(x) = g(x) are;
f(x) = g(x) = 3 or 1 where x = 1 and x = -1.
Split up the interval [2, 5] into 
equally spaced subintervals, then consider the value of 
at the right endpoint of each subinterval.
The length of the interval is
, so the length of each subinterval would be 
. This means the first rectangle's height would be taken to be 
when 
, so that the height is 
, and its base would have length 
. So the area under over the first subinterval is 
.
Continuing in this fashion, the area under over the 
th subinterval is approximated by 
, and so the Riemann approximation to the definite integral is
and its value is given exactly by taking
. So the answer is D (and the value of the integral is exactly 39).
