42.5\text{42.5}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To estimate the area bounded by the curves y=2x2+1y = 2x^2 + 1 and y=x2+1y = x^2 + 1, and the lines x=0x = 0 and x=5x = 5, we first find the difference between the two curves.

  1. Determine the function representing the height of the region.

    The height h(x)h(x) of the region between the two curves is given by the upper curve minus the lower curve.

    h(x)=(2x2+1)−(x2+1)=2x2+1−x2−1=x2h(x) = (2x^2 + 1) - (x^2 + 1) = 2x^2 + 1 - x^2 - 1 = x^2

    So, we need to estimate the area under the curve y=x2y = x^2 from x=0x = 0 to x=5x = 5.

  2. Calculate the width of each strip (hh).

    The interval is from x=0x = 0 to x=5x = 5, and we are using 5 strips.

    h=upper limit−lower limitnumber of strips=5−05=1h = \frac{\text{upper limit} - \text{lower limit}}{\text{number of strips}} = \frac{5 - 0}{5} = 1
  3. Determine the x-values for the ordinates and calculate the corresponding y-values using y=x2y = x^2.

    The x-values are x0=0,x1=1,x2=2,x3=3,x4=4,x5=5x_0 = 0, x_1 = 1, x_2 = 2, x_3 = 3, x_4 = 4, x_5 = 5.
    The corresponding y-values are:

    y0=02=0y_0 = 0^2 = 0 y1=12=1y_1 = 1^2 = 1 y2=22=4y_2 = 2^2 = 4 y3=32=9y_3 = 3^2 = 9 y4=42=16y_4 = 4^2 = 16 y5=52=25y_5 = 5^2 = 25
  4. Apply the trapezium rule formula.

    The trapezium rule formula is:

    Area≈h2[y0+yn+2(y1+y2+⋯+yn−1)]\text{Area} \approx \frac{h}{2} [y_0 + y_n + 2(y_1 + y_2 + \dots + y_{n-1})]

    Substitute the values:

    Area≈12[y0+y5+2(y1+y2+y3+y4)]\text{Area} \approx \frac{1}{2} [y_0 + y_5 + 2(y_1 + y_2 + y_3 + y_4)] Area≈12[0+25+2(1+4+9+16)]\text{Area} \approx \frac{1}{2} [0 + 25 + 2(1 + 4 + 9 + 16)] Area≈12[25+2(30)]\text{Area} \approx \frac{1}{2} [25 + 2(30)] Area≈12[25+60]\text{Area} \approx \frac{1}{2} [25 + 60] Area≈12[85]\text{Area} \approx \frac{1}{2} [85] Area≈42.5\text{Area} \approx 42.5

    The estimated area is 42.5\text{42.5}.
