Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the bounded region defined by the curves x=0, y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2, and the line x=2. Participants are exploring the implications of these boundaries on the area they enclose.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning why the bounded regions defined by different combinations of the curves yield the same area, while the inclusion of x=2 alters the outcome. There is also a discussion about the ambiguity in defining the area based on the given conditions.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the definitions of the bounded regions and the necessity of certain boundaries. Some have provided sketches to illustrate their points, but ambiguity remains regarding the exact areas being referenced.

Contextual Notes

There is a noted lack of clarity in the definitions of the areas being discussed, and participants are encouraged to provide sketches to aid understanding. The original poster expresses difficulty in finding the bounded region, indicating a need for further exploration of the problem setup.

i m thinking of this...
area bounded by x=0, y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2 and x=2

why the region bounded by the below three cases are the same
1. x=0, y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2
2. y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2
3. and x=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2

but after i add x=2 and compute the bounded region, it's different?

i am just feeling so hard of finding the bounded region of the above curves

It is unclear which area you mean. The initial 5 conditions can be used to define up to 5 different areas, and all three cases below are ambiguous as well.

Did you draw a sketch?
 
For the initial description,
x=0, y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2 and x=2
and the conditions you are given,
1. x=0, y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2
2. y=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2
3. and x=0, y=x^2, y=4-x^2
Note, that in "1" the three conditions given are exactly the same as in the initial description. You have to explain why "x= 2" is not necessary.
For "2" the same is true except that it is "x= 0" that is missing and for "3" it is y= 0.
