Q. What is the area of the region between 22 consecutive points where the graphs of f(x)=cos(x) f(x)=\cos (x) and g(x)=cos(x)+2 g(x)=-\cos (x)+2 intersect?
  1. Find Intersection Points: Find the points of intersection between the two functions.\newlineTo find the points of intersection, we set f(x)f(x) equal to g(x)g(x):\newlinecos(x)=cos(x)+2\cos(x) = -\cos(x) + 2
  2. Solve for x: Solve the equation for x.\newline2cos(x)=22\cos(x) = 2\newlinecos(x)=1\cos(x) = 1\newlineThe cosine function equals 11 at x=2nπx = 2n\pi, where nn is an integer. However, since we are looking for the first two consecutive points of intersection, we will consider n=0n = 0 and n=1n = 1.\newlinex=0x = 0, x=2πx = 2\pi
  3. Determine Area: Determine the area between the curves from x=0x = 0 to x=2πx = 2\pi. The area AA between two curves from aa to bb is given by the integral from aa to bb of the top function minus the bottom function: A=ab(top functionbottom function)dxA = \int_{a}^{b} (\text{top function} - \text{bottom function}) \, dx In this case, from x=0x = 0 to x=2πx = 2\pi, the top function is x=2πx = 2\pi00 and the bottom function is x=2πx = 2\pi11. x=2πx = 2\pi22
  4. Simplify and Integrate: Simplify the integrand and calculate the integral.\newlineA=02π(2cos(x)+2)dxA = \int_{0}^{2\pi} (-2\cos(x) + 2) \, dx\newlineA=[2sin(x)+2x]02πA = [-2\sin(x) + 2x]_{0}^{2\pi}
  5. Evaluate Antiderivative: Evaluate the antiderivative at the bounds and subtract.\newlineA=[2sin(2π)+2(2π)][2sin(0)+2(0)]A = [-2\sin(2\pi) + 2(2\pi)] - [-2\sin(0) + 2(0)]\newlineA=[0+4π][0+0]A = [0 + 4\pi] - [0 + 0]\newlineA=4πA = 4\pi
