Question

Find the area of the region bounded by the functions f(x) = x^4 and g(x) = 2 − x^2.

Answer 1

i've found the area bounded by the x-axis and f(x) its 3.771123

Answer 2

would i have to integrate with respect to the y -axis on this one?

Answer 3

have you plotted this

can you see the area enclosed by these curves?

Answer 4

yep iv graphed it, i know what it looks like

Answer 5

you are looking for the area bounded by the curves

so you need to know where they meet to establish the limits of integration

Answer 6

you could draw it using the Draw function here

Answer 7

okay dont know how to draw function but the graphs seem to come together at x =1 and x=-1

Answer 8

so firstly integrate the functions within those limits

and see what comes out

Answer 9

It seems you need to use the method of slicing

Answer 10

which function f(x)or g(x)

Answer 11

this looks like a disk

Answer 12

is their a formula to this method ?

Answer 13

@blackstreet23
are you deliberately trying to take this of course?

this is a simple integration.

Answer 14

no i just want to help
