5.5.23 (was 5.5.28 area in region defined by y=8/x, y = x^2, x = 1, x = 4

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

im looking through my examples and I don't see one like this. I will give a detailed critique when I see how you've done this one.

These graphs intersect when 8/x = x^2, which we solve to obtain x = 2.

For x < 2 we have 8/x > x^2; for x > 2 the inequality is the reverse.

So we integrate 8/x - x^2 from x = 1 to x = 2, and x^2 - 8 / x from x = 2 to x = 4.

Antiderivative are 8 ln x - x^3 / 3 and x^3 / 3 - 8 ln x. We obtain

8 ln 2 - 8/3 - (8 ln 1 - 1/3) = 8 ln 2 - 7/3 and

64/3 - 8 ln 4 - (8 ln 2 - 8/3) = 56/3 - 8 ln 2.

Adding the two results we obtain 49/3. **

oh yeah. You do not use all of the coordinates. You graph and find which ones are intersecting.

Which in this case is where 8/x = x^2

x = 2.

Now at x < 2 we have 8/x > x^2; for x > 2 the inequality is the reverse.

Integrate 8/x - x^2 from x = 1 to x = 2

antiderivative = 8 ln x - x^3 / 3

8 ln 2 - 8/3 - (8 ln 1 - 1/3)

= 8 ln 2 - 7/3

x^2 - 8 / x from x = 2 to x = 4.

antiderivative = x^3 / 3 - 8 ln x

64/3 - 8 ln 4 - (8 ln 2 - 8/3)

= 56/3 - 8 ln 2

add together to get A = 49/3

5.5.44 (was 5.5.40 demand p1 = 1000-.4x^2, supply p2=42x

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

1000 - .4x^2 = 42x

x= -2605 that can't be right.

then you would find price per unit by plugging in x into p2

then take the integral from 0 to x with (price -supply function)dx

take the antiderivative

then apply fundamental theorem and add together.

1000-.4x^2 = 42x is a quadratic equation. Rearrange to form

-.4 x^2 - 42 x + 1000 = 0 and use the quadratic formula.

You get x = 20

At x = 20 demand is 1000 - .4 * 20^2 = 840, supply is 42 * 20 = 840.

The demand and supply curves meet at (20, 840).

The area of the demand function above the equilibrium line y = 840 is the integral of 1000 - .4 x^2 - 840 = 160 - .4 x^2, from x = 0 to the equlibrium point at x = 20. This is the consumer surplus.

The area of the supply function below the equilibrium line is the integral from x = 0 to x = 20 of the function 840 - 42 x. This is the producer surplus.

The consumer surplus is therefore integral ( 160 - .4 x^2 , x from 0 to 20) = 2133.33 (antiderivative is 160 x - .4 / 3 * x^3). *&*&

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

wow, ok I forgot all about the quadratic formula.

so you rearrange to form

-.4 x^2 - 42 x + 1000 = 0

then use the quadratic formula

x = 20

at x=20 demand is 1000 - .4 * 20^2 = 840

supply is 42 * 20 = 840

demand and supply curves meet at (20,840)

For consumer surplus:

use the integral of 1000 - .4 x^2 - 840

= 160 - .4 x^2, from x = 0 to x = 20

antiderivative is 160 x - .4 / 3 * x^3

=2122.33

For producer surplus:

use the integral of 840 - 42 x from x = 0 to x = 20

antiderivative = 840x - 21x^2

solve using fundamental theorem
