Q4

 

[Run hard@thehsc]

I believe it would be x^2 on top since it is the tangent...

 

[LennonTheLemon]

The parabola would be on top. If you can imagine this, a tangent on a parabola can't be on top otherwise it would cross through two points on the parabola and not be a tangent.

Hold on a minute is this just the standard parabola minus the area of the triangle. That seems to be the requirement for this question.

Oh yes yes, the area from x=0 to x=4 under the parabola minus the area of the triangle is the smartest way to do it.

I guess you mean "the area from x=0 to x=2."

I guess you mean "the area from x=0 to x=2."

well done sir i did not even notice that
