Use the definite integral to find the area between the x-axis and f(x) over the indicated interval. Check first to see if the graph crosses the x-axis in the given interval. f(x)= ex - 2; [-1,4] The area between the X-axis and the f(x) is?
Added by David B.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the integral of f(x) over the interval [-1,4]: \[ \int_{-1}^{4} (e^x - 2) \, dx = \left[ e^x - 2x \right]_{-1}^{4} \] Show more…
