Consider the area bounded by the following 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 y=\sin 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=\frac{2}{\pi}x.}
a) Find the three intersection points of the two given functions. (Drawing may be helpful.)
b) Find the area bounded by the two functions.

1. You can find the intersection points of two functions, say 
|
- 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)}
