Worked solution
4((i))
1. Find the $x$-coordinates of the points of intersection using a graphing calculator.
To find the points of intersection, equate the two functions:
Using a graphing calculator, we solve for :
2. Set up the definite integral for the area of the bounded region.
The area of the region is the integral of the upper curve minus the lower curve between the points of intersection. By observing the graphs on the calculator, is the upper curve for .
3. Evaluate the definite integral using a graphing calculator.
Using the graphing calculator's numerical integration function directly on the definite integral:
4((ii))
1. Concisely retrieve the intersection points and total area from part (i).
From part (i), the -coordinates of the intersections of and are found by solving .
Using a graphing calculator, and .
The total area of region is:
2. Set up the integral equation for the line $x=c$ dividing the area in half.
Since the line divides region into two equal areas, the area from to must be half of the total area:
3. Evaluate the integral algebraically and solve for $c$ using a GC.
Evaluating at the limits gives:
Using a graphing calculator to solve for within the interval :
4((iii))
1. Find the intersection points and the y-limits of integration
Solve (using the GC):
The corresponding -values (the limits for integration along the -axis) are
2. Express the curves as x in terms of y and set up the washer integral
Rearrange each curve to make the subject:
Rotating about the -axis gives a washer cross-section, so
3. Evaluate the integral
Using the GC (or by hand with evaluated between the limits):
cubic units
