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

Question

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

irishboy123 · Answer

have you plotted this

can you see the area enclosed by these curves?

anonymous · Answer

yep iv graphed it, i know what it looks like

irishboy123 · Answer

you are looking for the area bounded by the curves

so you need to know where they meet to establish the limits of integration

irishboy123 · Answer

you could draw it using the Draw function here

anonymous · Answer

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

irishboy123 · Answer

so firstly integrate the functions within those limits

and see what comes out

blackstreet23 · Answer

It seems you need to use the method of slicing

anonymous · Answer

which function f(x)or g(x)

blackstreet23 · Answer

this looks like a disk

anonymous · Answer

is their a formula to this method ?

irishboy123 · Answer

@blackstreet23 
are you deliberately trying to take this of course?

this is a simple integration.

blackstreet23 · Answer

no i just want to help
