Q. What is the area of the region between the graphs of f(x)=x2+12x and g(x)=3x2+10 from x=1 to x=4 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 77(B) 364(C) 18(D) 45
Set up integral: First, we need to set up the integral to find the area between the two curves. The area A can be found by integrating the difference between the functions f(x) and g(x) from x=1 to x=4.A=∫x=1x=4(f(x)−g(x))dx
Write functions: Now we need to write down the functions f(x) and g(x) and find the difference f(x)−g(x). f(x)=x2+12x g(x)=3x2+10 The difference is: f(x)−g(x)=(x2+12x)−(3x2+10)=−2x2+12x−10
Integrate difference: Next, we integrate the function −2x2+12x−10 from x=1 to x=4. A = ∫x=1x=4(−2x2+12x−10)dx To integrate, we find the antiderivative of −2x2+12x−10. Antiderivative: (−2/3)x3+6x2−10x
Evaluate antiderivative: We now evaluate the antiderivative from x=1 to x=4. A=[(−32)x3+6x2−10x] from x=1 to x=4 A=[(−32)(4)3+6(4)2−10(4)]−[(−32)(1)3+6(1)2−10(1)]
Calculate values: Calculate the values at x=4 and x=1. A=[(−32)(64)+6(16)−40]−[(−32)(1)+6(1)−10] A=[(−3128)+96−40]−[(−32)+6−10] A=[(−3128)+56]−[(−32)−4]
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.A=3(−128+168)−3(−2−12)A=340−3−14A=340+314A=354A=18
