Given the curve f(x) = x^2 and the line y=
5x-6
We need to find the area between the curve and the
line.
First we need to find the intersection
points.
==> x^2 =
5x-6
==> x^2 - 5x + 6 =
0
==> (x-2)(x-3) = 0
==>
x = 2 ==> x = 3
Then we need to find the area between the
interval [ 2, 3].
First we will find the ares under the curve f(x) =
x^2.
==> Int f(x) = Int x^2 dx =
x^3/3
==> A1 = F(3) - F(2) = 27/3 - 8/3 =
19/3.
Then the area under the curve f(x) is A1=
19/3.
Now we will calculate the area under the line
y.
==> Int y = Int 5x -6 dx = 5x^2/2 -
6x
==> Y(3) = (5/2)*9 - 18 = (45-36)/2 =
9/2
==> Y(2) = (5/2)*4 - 12 = 10 - 12 =
-2
==> y(3) - y(2) = 4.5 + 2 = 6.5 =
13/2
Then the area between the line and the curve is
:
A = A2 - A1 = 13/2 - 19/3 =
0.166666
Then the ares is given by 0.16666 square
units.
