For years, mathematicians were challenged by the following problem: What is the area of a region under a curve between two values of \(x ?\) The problem was solved in the seventeenth century with the development of integral calculus. Using calculus, the area of the region under \(y=\frac{1}{x^{2}+1},\) above the \(x\) -axis, and between \(x=a\) and \(x=b\) is \(\tan ^{-1} b-\tan ^{-1} a\). Use this result, shown in the figure, to find the area of the region under \(y=\frac{1}{x^{2}+1}\) above the \(x\) -axis, and between the values of a and b given in Exercises \(97-98\). (GRAPH CANNOT COPY) \(a=-2\) and \(b=1\)
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Using radian measure, I can always find a positive angle less than \(2 \pi\) coterminal with a given angle by adding or subtracting \(2 \pi\)
Solve for \(x:\) $$2 \sin ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{4}$$
Use a graphing utility to graph two periods of the function. $$y=3 \sin (2 x+\pi)$$
Graph each pair of functions in the same viewing rectangle. Use your knowledge of the domain and range for the inverse trigonometric function to select an appropriate viewing rectangle. How is the graph of the second equation in cach exercise related to the graph of the first equation? $$ y=\cos ^{-1} x \text { and } y=\cos ^{-1}(x-1) $$
