To sketch the region enclosed by the curves $y = 7\cos(x)$ and $y = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the curves:

• $y = 7\cos(x)$ is a cosine wave with an amplitude of 7, oscillating between $y = -7$ and $y = 7$.
• $y = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$ is a linear equation with a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of $-\frac{14}{\pi}$.

2. Determine the points of intersection:

• To find the points where the curves intersect, set the equations equal to each other: $7\cos(x) = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$ Simplifying: $\cos(x) = 1 - \frac{2x}{\pi}$
• This equation needs to be solved numerically or graphically to find the points of intersection.

3. Sketch the curves:

• $y = 7\cos(x)$:
  • This curve oscillates with a period of $2\pi$, reaching maximum at $x = 0$, $y = 7$ and minimum at $x = \pi$, $y = -7$.
• $y = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$:
  • This line starts at $(0, 7)$ and decreases linearly with a negative slope.

4. Plot the intersection points and enclose the region:

• These points will tell us where the region of interest lies between the two curves.

Here is a sketch of the enclosed region:

1. Draw the cosine wave $y = 7\cos(x)$.
2. Plot the straight line $y = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$.
3. Mark the intersection points and shade the region enclosed between the two curves.

Let me know if you want to see a graphical sketch, or need further explanation.

Would you like the intersection points calculated or have any other questions?

Relative Questions:

1. How do you calculate the area of the region enclosed between the two curves?
2. Can you solve the equation $\cos(x) = 1 - \frac{2x}{\pi}$ numerically?
3. How does the period of the cosine function affect the intersection points?
4. What is the slope of the line $y = 7 - \frac{14x}{\pi}$ and how does it relate to the cosine function?
5. How would the sketch change if the amplitude of the cosine function was different?

Tip: When sketching regions between curves, it's helpful to first determine where the curves intersect, as this tells you the limits of integration or the bounds of the enclosed area.
