Problem 41E
Find the area of the following regions. In each case, graph the relevant functions and show the region in question.
The region bounded entirely by the curve and the x-axis.
Solution:-
Step 1
The graph of the function is:
The function intersects x-axis at the points when the numerator of the fraction is zero.
Meaning when
To find the roots of this quadratic equation we see
Roots
As we see from the figure the region bounded by and x-axis is from the point
.
To find the area of the bounded region, we integrate from
