Example Question #3081 : Functions

To find area under a curve, you must:

Possible Answers:

integrate the function twice.

differentiate the function twice.

integrate the function once.

differentiate the function once.

Correct answer:

integrate the function once.

Explanation:

To find the area of a curve, you are not finding the slope (thus not differentiating) but rather integrating. Specifically, you only differentiate once to find 2-dimensional area. Thus, the answer is "integrate the function once."

Example Question #191 : Regions

Find the area under the curve $y=45x^{2}+10x+14$ between x=0 and x=1 .

Possible Answers:

449

435

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the area underneath a curve for a specific range of values, we need to set up a definite integral expression. To do this, we plug our specific information into the following skeleton:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x) dx$

We plug in the equation of the curve in for f(x) , the smaller of our x-values for , and the larger of our x-values for . For this problem, our set-up looks like this:

$\int_{0}^{1}(45x^{2}+10x+14)dx$

Next, we integrate our expression, ignoring our and values for now. We get:

$F(x)= 15x^{3}+5x^{2}+14x$

Now, to find the area under the part of the curve we're looking for, we plug our and values into our integrated expression and find the difference, using the following skeleton:

area = F(b)-F(a)

In this problem, this looks like:

area = F(1)-F(0)

Which plugged into our integrated expression is:

$area = [15(1)^{3}+5(1)^{2}+14(1)] - [15(0)^{3}+5(0)^{2}+14(0)]$

area = [15+5+14] - [0+0+0]

area = [34] - [0]

With our final answer being:

area = 34

$area = \frac{94329}{7}$

With our final answer being:

$area = \frac{94329}{7}$

Example Question #122 : How To Find Area Of A Region

Find the area of the region bounded on top by 2x+2 and on bottom by x^2 from x=0 to x=2

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{8}{3}$

$\frac{16}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{16}{3}$

Explanation:

To find the area bounded by the two curves, we must integrate:

$\int_{a}^{b}[f(x)-g(x)]dx$ , where f(x) is the top function and g(x) is the bottom function.

Using the above formula, we get

$\int_{0}^{2}(2x+2-x^2)dx=2^2+2(2)-\frac{2^3}{3}-(0)=\frac{16}{3}$

The integration was perfomed using the following rule:

$\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

The definite integration was performed by taking the result of the integral and evaluating it at the upper limit, and then subtracting the evaluation at the lower limit.

Example Question #123 : How To Find Area Of A Region

Write the function describing the area below $y=\sqrt{x}$ and above y=(x-5)^2-20

Possible Answers:

$(x-5)^3-20x-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$

$-\frac{(x-5)^3}{3}+20x+\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$

$\frac{(x-5)^3}{3}-20x-x^{\frac{3}{2}}+C$

$\frac{(x-5)^3}{3}-20x-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$

Correct answer:

$\frac{(x-5)^3}{3}-20x-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$

Explanation:

To determine the function that describes the area between two functions, we must integrate over the difference between the upper and lower functions:

$\int ((x-5)^2-20-x^{\frac{1}{2}})dx$

For ease, we can split the integral into three integrals:

$\int (x-5)^2dx -\int 20 dx-\int x^{\frac{1}{2}}dx$

For the first integral, we must make the following substitution:

u=x-5, du=dx

Rewriting the integral and integrating, we get

$\int u^2=\frac{e^3}{3}+C$

which was found using the following rule:

$\int x^ndx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

The second integral is equal to

$\int 20 dx=20x+C$

and was found using the following rule:

$\int dx=x +C$

The third integral, found using the same rule as the first integral, is equal to

$\int x^{\frac{1}2{}} dx=\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$

Combining the results - and adding all the constants of integration to make a single C - we get

$\frac{(x-5)^3}{3}-20x-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C$ .
