I tried this buth check my maths anyway...

Explanation:

In exercise 4 we can think in terms of subtracting areas; we take a big area, normally a rectangle, and subtract smaller "curved" areas (the area of P for example is the composition of 2 smaller areas formed by a big rectangle minus a "curved" trapezium)

Have a look:

4,P)#A=int_1^e2lny*dy=[2xlnx-x]_1^e=2 (unite)^2#
4,Q)#A=int_0^1e^x-e^-x*dx= 1.0862 (unite)^2#
5)#A=int_0^(7pi/6)sin(x)-(-1/2)*dx=3.699 (unite)^2#

Explanation:

for question 4
a) for area P

#y=1and y=e#

#y=e^x#
solve for x
#x=lny#

#y=e^-x#
solve for x
#x=-lny#

#A=int_a^b(x_2-x_1)*dy=int_1^elny-(-lny)*dy#

#int_1^elny+lny*dy=int_1^e2lny*dy=[2xlnx-x]_1^e=2 (unite)^2#

b) for area Q

#x=0 and x=1#

#A=int_a^b(y_2-y_1)*dx=int_0^1e^x-e^-x*dx=[e^x+e^-x]_0^1=1.0862 (unite)^2#

For question 5

The area of shaded region

#x=0 and x=7pi/6#

#A=int_a^b(y_2-y_1)*dx=int_0^(7pi/6)sin(x)-(-1/2)*dx#

#[x/2-cos(x)]_0^(7pi/6)=(7*pi+2*3^(3/2)+12)/12=3.699 (unite)^2#
