1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the area SS enclosed by the parabola y=x24xy = -x^2 - 4x and the x-axis. Also, find the area enclosed by the curves y=5xx2y = 5x - x^2 and y=x2x+4y = x^2 - x + 4.

2. Solution Steps

(1) Find the intersection points of y=x24xy = -x^2 - 4x and the x-axis (y=0y=0).
x24x=0-x^2 - 4x = 0
x(x+4)=0-x(x+4) = 0
x=0x=0 or x=4x=-4
The area is given by the definite integral:
S=40(x24x)dxS = \int_{-4}^{0} (-x^2 - 4x) dx
S=[x332x2]40S = [-\frac{x^3}{3} - 2x^2]_{-4}^{0}
S=(0)((4)332(4)2)S = (0) - (-\frac{(-4)^3}{3} - 2(-4)^2)
S=(64332)=32643=96643=323S = -(\frac{64}{3} - 32) = 32 - \frac{64}{3} = \frac{96 - 64}{3} = \frac{32}{3}
(4) Find the intersection points of y=5xx2y = 5x - x^2 and y=x2x+4y = x^2 - x + 4.
5xx2=x2x+45x - x^2 = x^2 - x + 4
0=2x26x+40 = 2x^2 - 6x + 4
0=x23x+20 = x^2 - 3x + 2
0=(x1)(x2)0 = (x-1)(x-2)
x=1x=1 or x=2x=2
The area is given by the definite integral:
S=12(5xx2(x2x+4))dxS = \int_{1}^{2} (5x - x^2 - (x^2 - x + 4)) dx
S=12(5xx2x2+x4)dxS = \int_{1}^{2} (5x - x^2 - x^2 + x - 4) dx
S=12(2x2+6x4)dxS = \int_{1}^{2} (-2x^2 + 6x - 4) dx
S=[23x3+3x24x]12S = [-\frac{2}{3}x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x]_{1}^{2}
S=(23(2)3+3(2)24(2))(23(1)3+3(1)24(1))S = (-\frac{2}{3}(2)^3 + 3(2)^2 - 4(2)) - (-\frac{2}{3}(1)^3 + 3(1)^2 - 4(1))
S=(163+128)(23+34)S = (-\frac{16}{3} + 12 - 8) - (-\frac{2}{3} + 3 - 4)
S=(163+4)(231)S = (-\frac{16}{3} + 4) - (-\frac{2}{3} - 1)
S=163+4+23+1S = -\frac{16}{3} + 4 + \frac{2}{3} + 1
S=143+5=14+153=13S = -\frac{14}{3} + 5 = \frac{-14 + 15}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

3. Final Answer

(1) The area enclosed by y=x24xy = -x^2 - 4x and the x-axis is 323\frac{32}{3}.
(4) The area enclosed by y=5xx2y = 5x - x^2 and y=x2x+4y = x^2 - x + 4 is 13\frac{1}{3}.
