Click For Summary
To find the area below a graph using calculus, one typically uses definite integrals to calculate the area of the shaded region. The process involves identifying the function represented by the graph and determining the appropriate limits of integration. Users are encouraged to provide the function and the specific bounds to receive more precise assistance. Repeatedly posting the same question may lead to frustration among forum members. Clear communication and providing necessary details can enhance the chances of receiving helpful responses.

Okay, so my question is: given the picture below, how can I find the area below the graph (in the shaded region) ? It's for a lab that I did in class, but it wasn't until i finished the whole picture that i realized that I didn't know how to calculate the area of this graph.

Thanks.

Thread 'Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly'

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
