Let f be the function shown below, with domain the closed interval [0, 6]. The graph of f shown below, composed of two semicircles.

I need help with mostly B, but if you could check A that would be great.

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

B) take derivative of your function and then put x=5/2 that will be your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shayaan_Mustafa could you explain that some more? Do you mean take the derivative of 2x-1?

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

are you there @Nanoman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

ok sorry for so late. well try to identify your function first then take derivative of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, well isn't the function the area of the two circles?

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

yeah yeah. i know it is not the function. i mean do you know what is the equation of the semi-circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Shayaan_Mustafa Yes, 1/2 of the equation of a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the answer for A is 9.428

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

hello. equation of the circle is \[\large (x-a)^{2}+(x-b ^{})^2_=r ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I shouldn't use the area formula?

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

if a=0 and b=0 then circle's center is at origin.

OpenStudy (shayaan_mustafa):

you mean you should integrate the function for area under the curve? yes you are right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, I made a minor error on my calculations Update: 4.714
