Integrate with respect to x We must set up two integrals, one from x 5 to x and the other from x to x. We must also express the curves as functions of x, not y. The line is y x + and the parabola is in two parts. The upper part is y x and the lower part is y x. Area 5 5 ) ) x + ) x) dx + x) x) dx ) ) x + + x) dx + x dx. Let u x and du dx.

Solution. a) One way to find k is to first find where the parabola intersects the line y x. For very small k, there will be two intersection points. For large k, there will be no intersection point. The quadratic formula will make that clear when we solve the equation..8x + k x,.8x x + k, x ±.3k..6
