Question

Compute the area of the region bounded by the
graph of ƒ and the x-axis on the given interval. You may find it useful to sketch the region.
Ƒ(x) =1/(x2 + 1) on [-1, √3]

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given function is,

f(x)=1x2+1

Step 2

To find area of the region bounded by the graph of ƒ and the x-axis on the given interval.

Use the formula: Area=abf(x)dx

Here f(x)=1x2+1 

and a,b=-1,3

Substitute all the values in formula,

Area=-131x2+1dx         =arctanx-13         =arctan(3)-arctan(-1)         =π3--π4         =4π+3π12         =7π12
