Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So what i tried doing first was finding the points of intersection at a and b to set up my integral and ended up with 3 plus/minus the sqrt(-87) all divided by 16. so I found my a and b values.
Ive attempted in differentiating this question using differential equations methods, and I don't seem to be getting the answer I am looking for.
At this point, I don't know where to go from here, Help would be kindly appreciated!
Thank you!
