Problema 6.2.39

Capitolo 6, Problema 6.2.39

Find the area of the region described in the following exercises.

The region bounded by y=e^x, y=e^−2x, and x=ln 4

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the curves and boundaries that enclose the region: the curves are \( y = e^{x} \), \( y = e^{-2x} \), and the vertical line \( x = \ln 4 \).

Find the points of intersection between the two curves \( y = e^{x} \) and \( y = e^{-2x} \) by setting them equal: \( e^{x} = e^{-2x} \). Solve for \( x \) to determine the left boundary of the region.

Determine which curve is on top and which is on the bottom between the intersection point and \( x = \ln 4 \) by comparing \( e^{x} \) and \( e^{-2x} \) in that interval.

Set up the integral for the area of the region as the integral from the left intersection point to \( x = \ln 4 \) of the difference between the top curve and the bottom curve: \[ \text{Area} = \int_{x=a}^{\ln 4} \left( e^{x} - e^{-2x} \right) \, dx \], where \( a \) is the intersection point found earlier.

Evaluate the integral by integrating each term separately: \( \int e^{x} \, dx \) and \( \int e^{-2x} \, dx \), then apply the limits of integration to find the area.

Definite Integration for Area Calculation

The area between two curves y = f(x) and y = g(x) over an interval [a, b] is found by integrating the difference f(x) - g(x) with respect to x. Definite integrals compute the exact area under the curve between the limits, accounting for the vertical distance between the functions.

Properties of Exponential Functions

Exponential functions like y = e^x and y = e^{-2x} have distinct growth and decay behaviors. Understanding their shapes and intersections helps in setting up the integral correctly, especially when determining which function is on top or bottom within the interval.
