The graphs of functions f(x)=e^x and h(x)=e^(-.5x), where x is a real number and 0<x<1 ,lie on a plane. Draw these functions and find the area they and the line x=0.6 enclose using integration correct to 3 decimal places

∫ f(x)dx [.6, 0] - ∫ h(x)dx [.6,0]∫ f(x)dx = e^x....... f(x)dx [.6, 0] = (e^.6)-(e^0)=.822∫ h(x)dx = -2e^(-.5x)........... ∫ h(x)dx [.6,0]= (-2e^-.3)-(-2e^0)= .518.822 - .518= .304Therefore area enclosed ...

Differentiate y = (3x^3+2x+7)/x^(1/2)

y = (3x^3+2x+7)/x^(1/2) = 3x^(5/2)+2x^(1/2)+7x^(-1/2)dy/dx = 15/2x^(3/2)+x^(-1/2)-3.5x^(-3/2)
