Question

Whats the best way to find the greater equation

Answer 1

y=(1-x^2), y=13-7x

Answer 2

Im finding the area and trying to determine which integral I should subtract from which, but when I graph the POI are screwing with my head

Answer 3

It actually won't matter.
If you choose the wrong one,
you'll end up with the `negative` of the correct answer,
so just drop the negative.

As long as your intersection points are accurate, it should be ok.

Answer 4

haha I knew you would say that.
I know, it just bugs me now knowing which one is greater

Answer 5

XD

Answer 6

The POI? What is that?

Answer 7

test coming up saturday, you'll probably be seeing me around a but more :P
points of intersection

Answer 8

Well, one option would be to run a `test point` which lies between your POI's, ya? And then compare to see which is larger.

Answer 9

oh good point
(see what i did there)

Answer 10

lol ;D

Answer 11

Many books use the notation POI to mean "point of inflection". So be careful not to mix up the two ideas.

Answer 12

You can use a number line to break up the intervals, then plug in test values to see which is bigger (f or g)

Answer 13

Ahh good info jim jam :O

Answer 14

ah ok, thanks jim

Answer 15

no problem
