Question 424

The curve C has the parametric equations

x=ln⁡(t+2)y=1t+1t>−1 x = \ln(t+2) \quad y = \frac{1}{t+1} \quad t > -1 x=ln(t+2)y=t+11​t>−1

A decreasing curve C in the first quadrant has a diagonally shaded region above the x-axis between x = ln 2 and x = ln k.

Graph of curve C in the first quadrant. The curve is a decreasing curve that passes through (ln⁡2,1)(\ln 2, 1)(ln2,1) and (ln⁡k,1k−1)\displaystyle (\ln k, \frac{1}{k-1})(lnk,k−11​). The area under the curve between the x-axis and the curve is shaded with diagonal lines.

The finite region R between the curve C and the x x\,x axis is bounded by the lines with equations x=ln⁡2x = \ln 2x=ln2 and x=ln⁡kx = \ln kx=lnk, where k>2k>2k>2.

a.

Show that the area of R is given by the integral ∫0k−21(t+1)(t+2) dt\displaystyle \int_0^{k-2} \frac{1}{(t+1)(t+2)}\,dt∫0k−2​(t+1)(t+2)1​dt
