Slope integrals for calculus, having trouble need all the help I can get

(1) The integral is straightforward; x ranges between two constants, and y ranges between two functions of x that don't intersect.

(2) First find where the two curves intersect:

y ² - 4 = -3y

y ² + 3y - 4 = 0

(y + 4) (y - 1) = 0

y = -4, y = 1   →   x = 12, x = -3

That is, they intersect at the points (-3, 1) and (12, -4). Since x ranges between two explicit functions of y, you can capture the area with one integral if you integrate with respect to x first:

(3) No special tricks here, x is again bounded between two constants and y between two explicit functions of x.

c plumb line

explanation:

because god's plumb line “has a lot to do with the poor. it has a lot to do with righteousness that is living in right relationship with god and neighbor.

i would imagine your answer to be b.

i'm not could be wrong.

(also for future reference, their is an 'arts' category. : )
