What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
idk how to solve it
helpp please due soon
You want to find the area under the curve enclosed by the two functions between an interval. If you want to find the integral over that interval, what bounds would you use?
Also, if you find the area under the curve for both individually, how can they 1. Be written together and 2. Account for the fact that you will have an overlapping area
Isn't c supposed to be the ans
Why do you think so?
Iāll give you a hint, -4 to 5 is not the correct bounds
We donāt want to find the ENTIRE area under the curve, because that would include space weāre not counting (namely, the area under x^2 which is NOT between the line and the x^2 curve)
Hereās a visual representation of your interval and the two curves
If we want the area enclosed by x+12 and x^2, what bounds would we use?
May ik why -4 and 5 aren't the correct bounds
When I tried solving the qs someone solved it like the way I did
Look at the graph. Between -4 and 5, is the entire area enclosed by x^2 and x+12?
Posting without the bounds to make it even more explicit
No
So, between what values is there an enclosure?
Also, is (x+12)-x^2 equal to x^2-x-12 like you said above?
That should be another indication of why answer choice C is incorrect (regardless of bounds)
So is it x^2-x-12 and -x^2+x+x
Well, thereās no and
Itās one or the other
Take away the parentheses since addition is associative, x+12+(-x^2), we also know that addition is commutative, so how can we rephrase this expression with -x^2 at the front?
I think you meant to put a 12 on the end here too instead of the second x
Also consider thereās another area that IS between -4 and 5 which is enclosed
So we are going to need the other equation you posted earlier, and the intuition for that is that itās enclosed in the other direction. The line sets the bounds within the x^2 curve, but also an area outside of it
I believe so!
I'm on my last attempt should I try š
Send it
Were we right?
Np
Been years since Iāve done calc so never 100% certain if iām right lmao
Of course, send em
That's a very good question
Think about it like we did before
What are the bounds here?
Graph so you have a visual
U live in canada?
Why is the graph looking like that
I'm so so sorry but what's that ššš
Itās the curve arctan of x, y=1/6, and shows the bound at 7 (imagine a bound at 0, when I put it in itāll look too murky so just imagine)
no
Okay what should I do next
Oh we have same timings
Think about what the bounds will be
What regions are enclosed and over what intervals?
0 and 7
Give the interval corresponding to the enclosed regions
My hint is that there are 2
But weāll start on 0 and end on 7, yes
Yes
No
I mean what are the enclosed regions
Find the bounds before you do anything else
Itāll knock off half of the answer choices
and then selecting the right equation will knock off another half from the remaining
1/6
thatāll be the y value (which we know, because y=1/6 will intersect it at y=1/6), but what would the x value be (as the x is what defines our bounds)
Stated in a leading way, If arctan(x)=1/6, how do we find x?
Hint: what is the inverse function of arctan?
1/x^2+1
What is the inverse function of arctan?
Isn't that supposed to be the inverse?
No
What is the inverse function of arctan?
Arctan is the inverse of tan, and BLANK is the inverse of arctan
Tan?
Yes
We don't need the deriv?
Nope
Ohh
So if arctan(x)=1/6, x=?
Donāt compute the actual x, just keep it in function form (as this is what the problem does in the solutions, and the answer is a crazy decimal)
0.165149
Keep it in function form, the decimal isnāt used in the problem
Tan 1/6
0, tan1/6, 7
Yes!
Ok, next determine the equations thatāll give you the area of the enclosed regions (donāt worry about rotating just yet, thatāll be our last step)
Arctanx^2 and 1/6^2
Donāt worry about rotating yet
From 0 to tan(1/6) what do we need to do to ONLY get the area of the enclosed region?
Look at the graph again if need be
Just like the last problem we did
Extend that to x=7 I had to crop so the first enclosed space is actually visible
If youāre not allowed to look at graphs, the easiest way to know which function is higher than the other at a particular bound is to just plug in an x in the bound and see which value is greater (for us x=0 to start with). For us, we know that y=1/6 is above at first because arctan(0)=0
and then we can check again in the next bound
We won't have graphs in our test
Yes so follow what I said
You can also find the overlapping points that show your separated bounds by setting the functions equal to each other (because they overlap when theyāre equal in x and y value)
So it's h
Wait wait wait
š„ø
Itās not, but I also said donāt rotate yet
Whatās the equation (with integral 0 to tan(1/6)) thatāll get you the enclosed area, knowing y=1/6 is on top, and that whatās below arctanx (because itās the lower function at that point) isnāt in the enclosed space
Acrtan 1/6 will be in the middle like top in the first and below in the second
Yes, now give the equation for the first interval (donāt write out the integral sign and stuff just give me the plain algebraic expression)
We want everything below y=1/6 WITHOUT whatās below arctan(x), as thatās our enclosed space. Whatās the equation
1/6-arctanx
Arctanx-1/6
Awesome
Now we want to know what the integral will look like if itās a circle
Because a 360 revolution is a circle
We double it bcz we have a bigger and a smaller circle
Pir2
No
Think hard about it. Weāre not going to have a constant value as the radius, because the circle changes size across. What would represent the value of the thing being rotated around the x axis, letās say for the first interval
Because when itās rotated (remembering that the radius is HALF of the circle), and our enclosed space is the thing being rotated (and it constitutes half of the circle), whatās our radius?
7
Iāll make a graph to explain
The distance between the y values of the two points represents the radius at a particular value x=4. If we JUST use arctan(4)=y, weāll get the distance from 4 on the x axis to the top function. But we only want the enclosed space, so what can we get rid of to make the radius ONLY the enclosed space?
So whatās the radius IN GENERAL (not for x=4, the generalization is just x because we want it at any real x between 0 and 7)
Is the ans d? For part a
Yes
The radius is just the expressions we found before
arctanx-1/6 and 1/6-arctanx
How abt part b
Ok, first we want to find the inverses of the functions
Because we want y to be equal to the x value of the function, leading from the fact that weāre now rotating around the y axis
So find a way to get x on its own in each function
ok
So itāll be x in terms of y
is it a?
š§āāļøš§āāļø
Did you do the function inversions
y=arctan(x). What is x equal to?
x=0. Already know what x equals
x=7. Already know what x equals
y=1/6. Already know what y equals
Tan(1/6
