An alternative solution to what Watatank said would be:
1. Combine the equations
2. Factorize
y = x+2
y = x^2-5x+11
x^2-5x+11 = x+2
x^2-6x+9 = 0
(x-3)(x-3) = 0
(x-3)^2 = 0
thus, x=3 ONLY
Resubstituting it into the first equation to obtain a y-coordinate and you get the point (3,5)...
I'll elaborate on what followme said:
Area required
= Area of rectangle - Area of curve and y-axis
= 2ln8 - int(x)dy (lim: 0->ln8)
= 2ln8 - int(1/4e^y)dy (lim: 0->ln8)
= 2ln8 - 1/4[8-1]
= 2ln8 - 7/4
*I got 1/4e^y by rearranging y=ln(4x) in terms of x
**0 and ln8 are...
There is no difference between the multiple subinterval and the simple formula. The complete Simpson's rule is given by:
f'(x) = h/3[(y0+yn)+4(odd)+2(even)]
Whereas the simplified version is designed for a function with ONLY 3 subintervals. Taking this into account, you only have y0, y1 and...
That's what I meant, but I couldn't figure out how to do the greater/equal and lesser/equal symbol and cbf looking.
I believe what I said was correct. For f(x) > 0, you simply use the > sign instead of >, and likewise for lesser than. :)
I agree with b35ty about drawing the parabola. From the factorized form you can mark your roots on the x-axis. From here draw it out (remember to watch out for the (2-x) case because the parabola is heading downwards).
If you want f(x) < 0, then it's the part of the parabola under the x-axis...
If the focus is F(-3,3) and directrix is y=5, then your vertex is (-3,4). Same x-co-ord as F and average of y-co-ord. Thus your focal length is 1 (y distance from either F or directrix to vertex).
(x+3)^2=-4(1)(y-4)
