Hi. I'm new here. :) I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem...
i'm supposed to find the region bounded by:
y=x+1
y=e^-x
x=1

i think i should find the other point of intersection but i forgot to do that (i haven't taken a math course for about 4 years).
please help!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's just

\int_0^1 (x+1-e^{-x}) dx = (\frac 1 2 x^2 + x + e^{-x})\vert_0^1 = 1/2+e^{-1}
 
Find the region or find the area of the region?

"i think i should find the other point of intersection but i forgot to do that "
Forgot to do that or forgot how to do that?:rolleyes:

The region is bounded by the three curves y= x+ 1, y= e-x and x= 1. It should be easy to see that y= x+ 1 and y= e-x cross at (0, 1). Of course, y= x+ 1 and x= 1 cross at (1, 2). Finally, y= e-x and x= 1 cross at (1, e-1).

maverick6664, please don't give the full answer to homework problems.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
