009B Sample Final 1, Problem 3

Consider the area bounded by the following two functions:

$y=\cos x$  and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y=2-\cos x,~0\le x\le 2\pi.}

(a) Sketch the graphs and find their points of intersection.

(b) Find the area bounded by the two functions.

Foundations:
Recall:
1. You can find the intersection points of two functions, say  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x),g(x),}
by setting  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)=g(x)}   and solving for  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x.}
2. The area between two functions,  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)}   and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g(x),}   is given by  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)-g(x)~dx}
for  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle a\leq x\leq b,}   where  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)}   is the upper function and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g(x)}   is the lower function.

Solution:

(a)

Step 1:
First, we graph these two functions.
Insert graph here

Step 2:
Setting Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sin x=\frac{2}{\pi}x} , we get three solutions: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=0,\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{-\pi}{2}.}
So, the three intersection points are Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (0,0),\bigg(\frac{\pi}{2},1\bigg),\bigg(\frac{-\pi}{2},-1\bigg)} .
You can see these intersection points on the graph shown in Step 1.

(b)

Step 1:
Using symmetry of the graph, the area bounded by the two functions is given by
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 2\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\bigg(\sin(x)-\frac{2}{\pi}x\bigg)~dx.}

Step 2:
Lastly, we integrate to get
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{2\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\bigg(\sin (x)-\frac{2}{\pi}x\bigg)~dx} & {=} & \displaystyle{2\bigg(-\cos (x)-\frac{x^2}{\pi}\bigg)\bigg|_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{2\bigg(-\cos \bigg(\frac{\pi}{2}\bigg)-\frac{1}{\pi}\bigg(\frac{\pi}{2}\bigg)^2\bigg)}-2(-\cos(0))\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{2\bigg(-\frac{\pi}{4}\bigg)+2}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{-\frac{\pi}{2}+2}.\\ \end{array}}

Final Answer:
(a)  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (0,0),\bigg(\frac{\pi}{2},1\bigg),\bigg(\frac{-\pi}{2},-1\bigg)}
(b)  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle -\frac{\pi}{2}+2}
