Got another Area under the Curve Question(expect more tonight =P) Screenshot in comments.

Where do the curves intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to do that I set 7x=4x^2? So 0 and 7/4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how are you getting 7x? and 4x^2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I see y = x^3, y = 25x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh no! I posted the wrong image

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the correct one. I'm sorry.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok, yes the solutions to 7x = 4x^2 are x = 0 or x = 7/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you will evaluate \[\Large \int_{0}^{7/4} (f(x) - g(x))dx\] where f(x) = 7x, g(x) = 4x^2

Sketch (area in green)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'll plug 7/4 in to both of those equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or do I take the antiderivative of 7x-4x^2 and then plug in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I figured it out, got 343/96. Thanks!
