Find the area between the curves. The graph is attached.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THIS IS THE EQUATIONS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THIS IS THE GRAPH

OpenStudy (abb0t):

area is \[\int\limits (t0p)-(bottom) dx \] can be dy or dx. depending on what you chose or makes easier

OpenStudy (abb0t):

then. set both your equations equal to each other to find your bounds. you're already given one, x=16. now u just need 2 figure out the other. u can also use ur given graph to find ur other one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually you're going to have to break it up into two integrals, since they cross over at x=4, so the first integral will be frome 0 to 4 and the next one will be from 4 to 16, keeping in mind that the bigger area goes in front for each integral so you don't get a negative area.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Hermeezy is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{4} \sqrt{x} - \frac{ 1 }{ 2x } + \int\limits_{4}^{16} \frac{ 1 }{ 2x }- \sqrt{x}\]

When i do this i get a negative number though...-86/3. Should i switch the equations around? I thought i put the upper equation subtract lower equation corretctly

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Is it: \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x \] or \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2x }\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ x }dx= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\ln(x)\] \[\int\limits(\sqrt{x})dx= \int\limits(x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})dx = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } x^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }} \] Evaluate on the new found bounds. Just make sure your integrals are correct.
