Find the area enclosed between the curves y = f(x) and y = g(x)

Don't forget, in order to find the area under a curve y=f(x) between two values x=a and x=b we integrate f(x) between a and b.Thus to find the area enclosed between two curves y=f(x) and y=g(x) we simply nee...

Solve the two simultaneous equations X2 +2Y2= 18 and X - Y = 3

1) X 2 +2Y 2 = 182) X - Y = 3 Rearrange 2) in the form X=3-Y then substitute in to 1); (3-y) 2 +2Y 2 =18, this is your new equation 39+3Y+3Y+Y 2 +2Y 2 =183) 9+6y+3Y 2 = 18Divide equation 3) by 33 +2Y+Y 2 =6S...
