Think About It Consider the equation \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1 .\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation. (b) Set up the definite integral for finding the first quadrant arc length of the graph in part (a). (c) Compare the interval of integration in part (b) and the domain of the integrand. Is it possible to evaluate the definite integral? Is it possible to use Simpson's Rule to evaluate the definite integral? Explain. (You will learn how to evaluate this type of integral in Section \(6.7 .)\)
(a) use a graphing utility to graph the region bounded by the graphs of the equations, \((b)\) find the area of the region, and (c) use the integration capabilities of the graphing utility to verify your results. $$ y=x \sqrt{\frac{4-x}{4+x}}, \quad y=0, \quad x=4 $$
Find the length of the curve \(y^{2}=x^{3}\) from the origin to the point where the tangent makes an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the \(x\) -axis.
(a) use a graphing utility to graph the region bounded by the graphs of the equations, \((b)\) find the area of the region, and (c) use the integration capabilities of the graphing utility to verify your results. $$ f(x)=1 /\left(1+x^{2}\right), \quad g(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{2} $$
Sketch the region bounded by the graphs of the functions, and find the area of the region. $$ f(x)=\cos x, \mathrm{~g}(x)=2-\cos x, 0 \leq x \leq 2 \pi $$
