I don't know if I got this correct or not. Find lim e^2x/x. x --> +infinity. The answer I got for this was positive infinity. Was that correct?
I also have 2 more question that I can't seem to solve.
(1) What is the area of the largest rectangle under the graph y = 3-x^2 and above the x-axis?
(2) The total area of the region between the curve y=x^3 and the x-axis between x=-1 and x= 2 is?

Yes, you're right for the first one :)

1.

Let the height of the rectangle be y and the width be x.

The area of the rectangle is then A = xy

But you know that y = 3 - x^2, so you get:

A = x(3 - x^2)

This is the area of the rectangle in terms of x. Expand and simplify. You can find the derivative of this expression to get the value of x at the maximum area, or complete the square and find the optimum point.

2. This is simply:



I put minus because you know the graph is negative for x < 0, and finding the area from -1 to 0 will give a negative area.

Post what you get! :)

For number 2, I got 9 as my answer. As for number 1, I'm not sure if this is correct, but I got 4 as my answer. >_<

1. Wait, I realised I made a mistake in my explanation. The width is 2x, not x (though that doesn't really change the answer). This becomes:





At optimum, A' = 0.









A = 2(1)(2) = 4

Right!

Oh! That's how you do it. Thank you so much for helping me! :)

No problem! :)
