Barbosa Wrote: y=x^4Hi Gerson, since your Area result for x^8 looked rather illogical for me (IMO the area should continuously decrease for higher exponents n), I've written a small program (in TurboPascal) for this problem. The left intersection point is of course calculated numerically (no exact value possible for n>4), but the integral is calculated exactly (i.e. no numerical method), and the results really confirm my assumption of continuously decreasing areas: in fact for n->inf the results are: u->1 and A->0 Here's the list for n=2..20: Code:
Code:
