Q. 12. Find the area between the curves y=x2+x+1 and y=−2x2−4x−1. Round to 2 decimal places.
Set up integral for area: Step 1: Set up the integral for the area between the curves.To find the area between two curves, we first need to find the points where they intersect. This is done by setting the equations equal to each other:x2+x+1=−2x2−4x−1.
Solve for x: Step 2: Solve for x.Combining like terms, we get:3x2+5x+2=0.This can be factored into:(3x+2)(x+1)=0.So, x=−32 or x=−1.
Set up definite integral: Step 3: Set up the definite integral.The area A between the curves from x=−1 to x=−32 is given by the integral of the upper curve minus the lower curve:A=∫−1−32[(−2x2−4x−1)−(x2+x+1)]dx.
Simplify integrand: Step 4: Simplify the integrand.A=∫−1−32[−3x2−5x−2]dx.
Calculate the integral: Step 5: Calculate the integral.A=[(−x3−25x2−2x)] from −1 to −32.Substituting the limits:A=[(−(−32)3−(25)(−32)2−2(−32))−(−(−1)3−(25)(−1)2−2(−1))].
