Antiderivatives...
Can we compute the area bounded by curves if there is no intersections???? ans. please!!

Question

nubeer · Answer

hmm . i am not sure. if u have a question u can show it would be easy to answer

anonymous · Answer

here are the equations given $$y-x ^{2}=0$$ and $$x-2y=1$$,,but the problem is ,, their graphs do not intersect..
,so how will i find the area bounded??

nubeer · Answer

no u cant compute this one. beacuse no region is bounded between curves.

anonymous · Answer

can't get my teacher ..he said, area of this can be computed..
but i do think so it can't be computed..Anyway,, thank you..!!

nubeer · Answer

well it can if the limits are given... unless we dont have limits we cant compute

anonymous · Answer

i think ,it's impossible to get the limits,, coz limits are based on the intersections of the graphs of the equation..

anonymous · Answer

is it possible the area = 0??? i agree that the two functions don't intersect.

anonymous · Answer

i think so,, coz if we set the limits to zero and compute the area,, the resulting area would also be zero..

anonymous · Answer

okay lyndel, i say if your teacher insists that the area can be computed, you can argue that the area is zero.

nubeer · Answer

well we cant get limits from this question i just meant if limits are already give then this can be solved otherwise it cant.

..okay.! tnx nubeer and moyo..!
