1. Find the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line x=1, and the curves y=x3
and y=x2. Express the answer as a fraction in lowest term.

 To find the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line x=1, and the curves y=x^3
and y=x^2, we need to integrate the difference between the two curves over the given
interval. The curves intersect at two points: (0, 0) and (1, 1). Therefore, we need to
integrate the difference between the two curves from x = 0 to x = 1. The equation for the
area (A) is given by:
A = ∫[0,1] (x^3 - x^2) dx
To find the antiderivative of each term, we use the power rule of integration.
A = ∫[0,1] (x^3 - x^2) dx
= [(x^4)/4 - (x^3)/3] |[0,1]
= [(1^4)/4 - (1^3)/3] - [(0^4)/4 - (0^3)/3]
= (1/4 - 1/3) - (0/4 - 0/3)
= (3/12 - 4/12)
= (-1/12)
Therefore, the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line x=1, and the curves
y=x^3 and y=x^2 is -1/12.

2. Prove that

 To prove that the derivative of cosh^(-1)(x) is equal to 1/sqrt(x^2 - 1), we can use the
chain rule of differentiation and the inverse hyperbolic identity.

Let y = cosh^(-1)(x).

Using the inverse hyperbolic identity, cosh(y) = x.


Taking the derivative of both sides with respect to x: d/dx(cosh(y)) = d/dx(x).
Using the chain rule, we have sinh(y) * dy/dx = 1.
Now, we need to solve for dy/dx:
dy/dx = 1/sinh(y).
We can express sinh(y) in terms of x using the identity sinh(y) = sqrt(x^2 - 1):
dy/dx = 1/sqrt(x^2 - 1).
Therefore, we have proved that d/dx(cosh^(-1)(x)) = 1/sqrt(x^2 - 1).
3. Evaluate

 To evaluate the integral ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx, we can use the method of partial fractions to split
the rational function into simpler fractions. Here's how we can proceed:

1. Rewrite the rational function as the sum of two fractions:


x/(x - 1) = A/(x - 1) + Bx/(x - 1)
2. Find the common denominator on the right side:
x/(x - 1) = (A + Bx)/(x - 1)
3. Equate the numerators:
x = A + Bx
4. Solve for A and B by comparing the coefficients of like powers of x:
x = (A + Bx) implies A = x and B = 1
5. Rewrite the original integral with the partial fraction decomposition:
∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
= ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
= ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
= ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
= ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
= ∫(1/(x - 1)) dx + ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx
6. Evaluate the integrals separately:
∫(1/(x - 1)) dx = ln|x - 1| + C1, where C1 is the constant of
integration ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx = ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx = ∫(1 + 1/(x - 1)) dx = x + ln|x - 1| + C2, where C2 is
the constant of integration.
 Therefore, the evaluated integral is ∫(x/(x - 1)) dx = x + 2ln|x - 1| + C, where C is the
constant of integration.
