Area = ∫x₁x₂ (yupper - ylower) dxCore Logic
Find the intersections of y = |x - 5| and y = 4√(x): Branch 1: 5 - x = 4√(x) x + 4√(x) - 5 = 0 (√(x) + 5)(√(x) - 1) = 0 x = 1, y = 4. Branch 2: x - 5 = 4√(x) x - 4√(x) - 5 = 0 (√(x) - 5)(√(x) + 1) = 0 x = 25, y = 20.
Step 1: Set Up Area Definite Integral
Split integration intervals around vertex x = 5 or compute via simple boundary differences:
A = ∫₁²⁵ 4√(x) dx - Area of Left Triangle - Area of Right Triangle Area of Left Triangle = (1)/(2) × (5 - 1) × 4 = 8 Area of Right Triangle = (1)/(2) × (25 - 5) × 20 = 200Step 2: Complete Computations
∫₁²⁵ 4√(x) dx = [ (8)/(3)x3/2 ]₁²⁵ = (8)/(3)(125 - 1) = (8 × 124)/(3) = (992)/(3) A = (992)/(3) - 208 = (992 - 624)/(3) = (368)/(3)3A = 368
