Find the area of the region closed by the curves Y equal
cosine of the quantity Pi X / 2 and Y equal 1 -, X ^2.
When I set those two equations equal, we don't have any good
rules as of yet as to how to solve a trig function when it's
equaling a polynomial.
So a different strategy would be to look at the graph of them.
When I look at the graph, I get the Y equal 1 -, X ^2 being a
parabola going down, intersecting the X axis at -1
and one and intersecting the Y axis at 0.
When we graph Y equal cosine Pi X / 2, we can see that that
graph is actually going to go through -1 and one also for the
X axis and go through one on the Y axis.
Remember that from our trig days, the period of cosine is 2π
and then we divide by whatever the coefficient is on the X.
So 2π / π halves would give a new period of four.
So we would be crossing at -1 and one low point at 2, cross
again at 3, high point at 4:00.
If we put in more of our graph, that was a three.
So that's a one.
So seeing some symmetry, if we look at from zero to 1 and
multiply by two.
Remember if I stick in a negative X for both of them, I'm
going to realize that they come out with the exact same equation
as the original.
Cosine is an even function.
So if I stick in a negative X, it just comes out as cosine of
the positive of that.
And then for the other equation, if I stuck in negative XA,
negative X ^2 is really just a positive X ^2.
So those are both even functions.
We're going to have symmetry.
So if I go from zero to 1 and multiply by two, that'll give me
the same answers if I went from -1 to one.
We need to figure out the top equation.
By our graph, we can see the top ones, the parabola 1 -, X ^2
minus, the bottom minus, cosine Pi halves X, all in terms of DX.
Taking the integral, we'd get X -, 1/3 X cubed minus sine.
Derivative of sine gives me out cosine.
But then remember the chain rule.
We have to figure out that derivative of the inside piece
that Pi halves X which would be π halves and then we divide by
it.
So we get 2 / π.
When we stick in our upper bound minus our lower bound, we get 2
* 1 - 1/3 - 2π sine of π halves minus the quantity 0 - 0 - 2π
times sine 0, where we end up with Four Thirds -4 Pi.
