1.

Calculate and draw a graph of the area of the region between

f(x) = 5x x

2

+ 12 and g(x) = e

x

+ 5.

2.

Return to and clear the Y prompts by pressing Y= CL . Clear additional

prompts if necessary.

3.

Input f(x) in Y1 with the keystrokes 5 X/

θ/T/n – X/θ/T/n x

2

+ 1

2 ENTER . Input g(x) in Y2 with the keystrokes 2ndF e

x

X/

θ/T/n

+ 5 .

4.

Enter the viewing window -5 < x < 5 and -5 < y < 20. Your viewing window

should clearly show the region between f(x) and g(x) and, if applicable,

display the intersections of the functions. Press GRAPH to view the graphs.

5.

Shade the region between the two curves by pressing 2ndF DRAW

G (SHADE) 1 (SET). Since Y2 is the function "on the bottom," press

2ndF VARS ENTER A (EQVARS) ENTER

2 (Y2) and since Y1 is the

function “on the top," press 2ndF VARS ENTER 1 (Y1). Press GRAPH

to view the shaded region.

6.

Next, find the limits of integration. Press 2ndF CALC 2 (Intsct). Do this

twice to obtain the x-coordinates of the two points of intersection. The

points of intersection are x = -1.09 and x = 2.58.

7.

Find the approximate area by pressing
