Please help? Will FAN AND MEDAL! Find the range of the function f of x equals the integral from negative 6 to x of the square root of the quantity 36 minus t squared dt. a. [-6,0] b. [0,6] c. [0,9pie] d. [0,18pie]
Can you please help? @zepdrix @Directrix @Nnesha @agent0smith
You gotta take screenshots or learn to use latex.
what is latex?
The equation writing on here, press the equation button and start learning. Screenshots too. Don't write integrals in words, good god no.
\[f(x)=\int\limits_{-6}^{x}\sqrt{36-t^2}dt\]
I'd start by drawing the function inside the integral. The sqrt(36-t^2). Hopefully you recognize it as a semicircle
Remember that the integral means you're finding the area under the curve. If you drew out that semicircle, what is the area of it?
\[\sqrt{-(t+6)(t-6)}\] I put the original equation in and got this
@agent0smith
That has nothing to do with what i said though...
I dont understand how to draw the semi-circle, or how to find the area? That is why I put that into my calculator because that is what I thought you were suppose to do.
Draw means graph.
okay so graph the equation
Once you realize it's a semicircle and find the radius, finding the area is easy.
Look. Find the radius. Then find the area. https://www.google.com/search?q=y%3Dsqrt(36-x%5E2)&oq=y%3Dsqrt(36-x%5E2)&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Okay the radius is either -5.4 or 5.4
Sorry -5.66 or 5.66
Look at the graph i gave.
And... a radius is a length.... they can't be negative.
Okay the radius is 6
so the area is \[36\pi \]
The area of a circle of radius 6 is 36pi. This is not a circle.
I know it is a semi-circle so it half of that. So the area is 18pi.
So if you integrated that function from x = -6 to x = 6, that's the area of the entire semircircle If you integrated from x=-6 to x=-6, what would the area be?
9pi.?
If you integrate any function from x=a to x=a, the area is always the same value.
\[\Large \int\limits_a^a f(t)dt= 0\]
Okay so it would be D. [0,18pi]

I gave you a medal right after your last post for a reason
Ohh it never said you did. I'm sorry.
Thank you for the help.
You're welcome.
