Find the area of a shaded region whose bounded by equations x = y^2 - 4y, x = 2y - y^2, over the point (-3,3). Based on the subtraction/integration I did the answer should be 36. I'll show what I did below.
∫ (-3,3) 2y - y^2 - y^2 - 4y
But this is incorrect. Assistance would be appreciated.
why integrate from -3 to 3?
The curves intersect at (0,0) and (-3,3)
The area is
∫[0,3] (2y-y^2)-(y^2-4y) dy
= ∫[0,3] -2y^2+6y dy
= -2/3 y^3 + 3y^2 [0,3]
= -2/3 * 27 + 3*9
= -18+27
= 9
Ah, math problems can be quite overwhelming sometimes. Let me try to assist you with a touch of humor!
First, let's determine the points where the two curves intersect. By setting the equations equal to each other, we get:
y^2 - 4y = 2y - y^2.
Simplifying this, we have:
2y^2 - 6y = 0.
Factoring out 2y, we get:
2y(y - 3) = 0.
So either y = 0 or y = 3. These are the two points where the curves intersect.
Now, let's find the bounds for integration. We want to find the area between these two curves from -3 to 3. However, since the shaded region is only confined between the two curves, we need to take the absolute difference between the two equations.
So our integral becomes:
∫ (-3,3) |(2y - y^2) - (y^2 - 4y)| dy.
Now, let's simplify this:
∫ (-3,3) |2y - y^2 - y^2 + 4y| dy.
∫ (-3,3) |6y - 2y^2| dy.
Here comes the tricky part: integrating the absolute value function. We can split it into two cases depending on the sign of the argument inside the absolute value, then integrate separately.
Case 1: (6y - 2y^2) ≥ 0, which means y ≤ 3.
Integration for this case becomes:
∫ (-3,0) (6y - 2y^2) dy.
Case 2: (6y - 2y^2) < 0, which means y > 3.
Integration for this case becomes:
∫ (0,3) -(6y - 2y^2) dy.
Unfortunately, it seems that we need more information to proceed. The integral expressions remain incomplete, so I'm afraid I can't give you a definitive answer of 36. I apologize if I couldn't fully assist you this time.
To find the area of the shaded region, we need to determine the limits of integration for both equations and find the intersection points. Let's start by setting the two equations equal to each other:
y^2 - 4y = 2y - y^2
Rearranging the equation, we get:
2y^2 - 6y = 0
Factoring out 2y, we have:
2y(y - 3) = 0
From this equation, we find two solutions:
y = 0 or y = 3
To determine the limits of integration, we need to find the x-values corresponding to these y-values for both equations. We can substitute the y-values into each equation to find the x-values:
For y = 0:
x = (0)^2 - 4(0) = 0
x = 2(0) - (0)^2 = 0
So, one intersection point is (0, 0).
For y = 3:
x = (3)^2 - 4(3) = 9 - 12 = -3
x = 2(3) - (3)^2 = 6 - 9 = -3
Therefore, the other intersection point is (-3, 3).
Now we can set up the integral to find the area of the shaded region. Since the shaded region is bound by the two curves, we need to subtract the lower curve from the upper curve when integrating with respect to y.
The limits of integration will be from y = 0 (the lower bound) to y = 3 (the upper bound).
The integral to find the area is:
∫ [0, 3] ((2y - y^2) - (y^2 - 4y)) dy
Simplifying, we have:
∫ [0, 3] (2y - y^2 - y^2 + 4y) dy
Combine like terms:
∫ [0, 3] (6y - 2y^2) dy
Now integrate:
∫ [0, 3] 6y dy - ∫ [0, 3] 2y^2 dy
Integrating, we get:
[3y^2 - (2/3)y^3] evaluated from 0 to 3 - [2/3 * y^3] evaluated from 0 to 3
(3(3)^2 - (2/3)(3)^3) - (2/3 * 3^3) - [(3(0)^2 - (2/3)(0)^3) - (2/3 * 0^3)]
(27 - 18) - 18 - (0 - 0)
9 - 18
-9
Therefore, the area of the shaded region is -9, which indicates that there may have been an error in the calculations or in the setup of the problem. Please check your work again to ensure accuracy.
To find the area of the shaded region, you need to integrate the difference between the two equations over the given range. However, it seems that there might be an error in your setup.
Let's go through the process step by step to correct it:
1. First, find the points of intersection between the two equations.
Setting the equations equal to each other:
y^2 - 4y = 2y - y^2
Rearranging:
2y^2 - 6y = 0
Factoring out a 2y:
2y(y - 3) = 0
Solving for y, we get:
y = 0 or y = 3
2. Now that we have the range of integration, let's express the area as an integral. We will integrate the difference between the two curves with respect to y.
The corrected integral setup should be:
∫[0, 3] [(2y - y^2) - (y^2 - 4y)] dy
Simplifying,
∫[0, 3] (2y - 2y^2 + 4y) dy
Combining like terms,
∫[0, 3] (6y - 2y^2) dy
3. Evaluate the integral:
Integrating 6y and -2y^2 separately yields:
[3y^2 - (2/3)y^3] evaluated from 0 to 3
Substituting the limits of integration:
[3(3)^2 - (2/3)(3)^3] - [3(0)^2 - (2/3)(0)^3]
Simplifying,
[27 - 18] - [0 - 0]
9 - 0
The correct area of the shaded region is 9.
So, the answer is 9, not 36 as you originally thought. There seems to have been an error in your integration setup.
