Question
Use a graph to give a rough estimate of the area of the region that lies beneath the given curve. Then find the exact area.$ y = x^{-4} $, $ 1 \le x \le 6 $
Step 1
00077; curve decreases steeply near x=1 and is nearly 0 after x≈2; rough area estimate by rectangle of height 1 over [1,2] gives ≈1, plus negligible tail ≈0.01, so estimated area ≈1.01. Show more…
