Problem 15

Sometimes it's easier to find an area by regarding $x$ as a function of $y$ instead of $y$ as a function of $x .$ To illustrate this idea, let $S$ be the region enclosed by the line $y=x-1$ and the parabola $y^{2}=2 x+6$
(a) By sketching $S$ , observe that if you want to integrate with respect to $x$ you have to split $S$ into two parts with different boundary curves.
(b) If you integrate with respect to $y,$ observe that there is a left boundary curve and a right boundary curve.
(c) Find the area of S using the method of either part (a) or part (b).

Problem 21

Cerebral blood flow The table shows measurements of $A(t),$ the concentration of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ flowing into a patient's brain, and $V(t),$ the concentration of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ flowing out of the brain, where $t$ is measured in minutes and $A(t)$ and $V(t)$ are measured in mL of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ per mL of blood.
$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline t & {A(t)} & {V(t)} \\ \hline 1 & {0.031} & {0.008} \\ {3} & {0.041} & {0.029} \\ {5} & {0.042} & {0.035} \\ {7} & {0.044} & {0.042} \\ {9} & {0.045} & {0.044} \\ \hline\end{array}$$
