This one would be easier to integrate over dy
y from 0 to 1, then y from 1 to 4
put your equations in terms of x = ....
Or if you wanted to integrate over x instead still.... you would need to do x from 0 to 1, of the green line 4 - 3x then subtract the integral from 0 to 1 of the red line y = x
Both of those could be done using the simple area of a triangle formula. since they are all straight lines. but
that could be a way to check if your integrals are correct, find the area of the region using area of triangle = half base times height
the region in question has a base of 4 and a height of 1, area is half of 4 times 1, or Area = 2
Here is the integral...
\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}(4-3x)dx - \int\limits_{0}^{1}(x) dx \]
Which evaluates to the same as the area using the triangle formula, 2
U understand, or what dont make sense?
(4-3x)??
ohhh nevermind
yeah i think i understand(:
i got 4 before because i didnt divide it by 2
You take the whole area under the green line from 0 to 1, then subtract that little area under the red line from 0 to 1
The integrals work out to be 2 so does the same thing using triangle formula
thanks(:
taking me back to calc 1 days years ago. lol these are kinda fun to do
Help me i got 25 questions
