sketch the area enclosed by the curves and find its area. y=e^x , y=e^2x , x=0, x= ln2
\[\int\limits_{0}^{\ln(2)}e^{2x} - \int\limits_{0}^{\ln(2)} e^x\] 3/2 - 1 = 1/2
\[ \int\limits_{0}^{\ln2}(e^{2x}-e^{x})dx = [(1/2)e^{2x} -e^{x}] =\] (from 0 to ln2)
can you guys show me each step? i need to be refreshed in calculus
Area bounded by two functions y=e^x , y=e^2x and two vertical lines x=0, x= ln2 , therefore the area = integal ( f(x) -g(x)) , such that f(x) > g(x) [from x=0 to x =ln2]
here is an important point, that how to decide which function is f(x) and which one is g(x) ===> actually we have to check which one is greater than the other.
and that was give in the graph been posted.
hope that helps.
the answer in the back of the book is 1/2, so was this problem solved algebraically or graphically?
it's been solved algebraically.
did we calculate it ( algebraically) or use the picture to read the answer (graphically)?
in fact the graphs only as a helping tool in deciding which function is higher in y
i want to see the each little step algebraically... i don't how you got 3/2-1= 1/2
but everything here is solved algebraically
[(1/2)e^2x−e^x] , here 1st subtitute by x=ln2 , then subtract the result at x=0
oh!!!!! i get it now!!!!!!
duh!!!! lol thanks guys, sorry i'm a little slow
no worries :)
:)
no problem , any time
For a complete answer: \[\int\limits_{0}^{\ln2}e^{2x}dx = \left[ e^{2x} \over 2 \right]_{0}^{\ln2} = \left[ e^{2 \times \ln 2} - e^0 \over 2 \right] = \left[ 4 - 1 \over 2 \right] = { 3 \over 2 }\]
that' right
3/2-"1"=1/2, how did you get "1"? i keep getting 0
