MHB Good day, Exam Integrals: volume and area
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the area of a region bounded by specific curves and vertical lines. The first boundary is a parabola described by the equation y = 4 - x^2, which intersects the x-axis at points (-2, 0) and (2, 0). The second boundary is a straight line given by y = 2 - x, which intersects the parabola at (-1, 3) and (2, 0). It is noted that the vertical lines x = -2 and x = 3 do not enclose any additional area, as they lie outside the region defined by the parabola and line. The area can be calculated by integrating the difference between the two curves from x = -1 to x = 2.
