Eventually I got to "solutions" on the Prime but it took a lot of variables creation and substitutions to get there. I am sure most here will make quick work of this. * h(x) = (4x² + 1)³/(48x³) * 4/3 at x = 1/2 I've fount the normal lines at x = 1, x = 2 and x = 3, then generalized for X. (Picture later if important). I've used a quadratic solver to generalize the limits of integration. Too lazy to do the remaining by hand: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int...%29%29%2CX http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sol...%29%3D%3D0 Regards, Gerson. |
