Math Problem Statement

Find the area under the graph of the function over the interval given e^3-1/e^3

Solution

To find the area under the graph of a function f(x)f(x) over a given interval, you evaluate the definite integral of f(x)f(x) across that interval. In this case, the interval is [e3,1e3][e^3, -\frac{1}{e^3}].

However, the given interval seems unusual, as it is written in reverse order. If the interval is [e3,1e3][e^3, -\frac{1}{e^3}], then the integral will have a negative value due to the reversed limits. Let’s proceed formally:

Definite Integral Formula:

The area under f(x)f(x) between x=ax = a and x=bx = b is given by:

Area=abf(x)dx\text{Area} = \int_a^b f(x) \, dx

If the function f(x)f(x) is not specified:

You will need to clarify the function f(x)f(x) so we can proceed with its integration.

Reversed interval:

If the limits are reversed, the integral will have a negative sign. This means the calculation should respect:

e31e3f(x)dx=1e3e3f(x)dx\int_{e^3}^{-\frac{1}{e^3}} f(x) \, dx = -\int_{-\frac{1}{e^3}}^{e^3} f(x) \, dx

Please provide the specific function f(x)f(x), or clarify if this is just a conceptual question about the integration bounds.
