C2 Integration questions!

Ex 11D:

7) The curve C has equation y=x^(2/3)-2/(x^(1/3))+1
the last part:
d) find the area of R


9)a: when it says verify, that the curve and line cross at point A(4,2) does it mean, put 4 in the equation and see if it give y=2 or do you have to make curve's equation and line's equation equal to each other and find A.

10) A sketch shows part of the curve with eqtion y=x^2(x+4). The finite region R1, is bounded by the curve and negative x-axis. The finite region R2 is bounded by the curve, the positive x-axis and Ab, where a = (2,24) and b= (b,0).

find the value of b


thanks.

what is R in question 7?

Sorry, 4got to tell, you have to first verify tht C crosses the x-axis at point (1,0), then you have to show tht a lies on c and has coord. (8,4) and b is (4,0) . you then have to find the line ab and the R is the region bounded by C, AB and the +ve x-axis.

Is R the area between the curve and x-axis?

The bit in bold.

id have thought plug x=4 into both equations and show that you get y=2.
Meh, whatever. Doesn't matter, really.

plugging numbers is a lot less hassle though, especially if the curves have complicated equations.
I would have said it's more hassle if they're complicated but, again, whatever.

:hmmmm:
in that case, try equating y1/3 = x3 + 4x2 + 4 and y2 = 4x2 + 1

Cheers, understood tht. Anyone got any idea for 10, to find b?
