[QUOTE="BOAS, post: 4655855, member: 488860"] Hello, quick question really. [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Find the area bound by the x axis, [itex]x = 1[/itex], [itex]x = 4[/itex] and [itex]y = 2/x[/itex] [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Representing this graphically, the question is equivalent to performing the definite integral of [itex]y = 2/x[/itex] from [itex]1[/itex] to [itex]4[/itex]. Right? Which would result in the area being equal to [itex]2 ln(4)[/itex] It seems painfully obvious but this question has made me doubt myself so I wanted to check I haven't missed anything obvious... i.e is there any reason to do the longhand of subtracting the smaller areas from the larger ones. Thanks, BOAS [/QUOTE]
