Basic Leaf

Calculus Level pending

The function f ( x ) f(x) is defined by the equation f ( x ) = 1 x 2 f(x)=\sqrt { 1-{ x }^{ 2 } } , or a semicircle centered at the origin with positive f ( x ) f(x) and a radius of 1.

Define g 0 ( x ) = 0 x f ( u ) d u { g }_{ 0 }(x)=\int _{ 0 }^{ x }{ f(u)\, du } , g ( x ) = g 0 ( x ) g 0 ( 1 ) { g }(x)={ g }_{ 0 }(x)-{ g }_{ 0 }(-1) , h 0 ( x ) = 0 x g ( u ) d u h_{ 0 }(x)=\int _{ 0 }^{ x }{ g(u)\, du } , and h ( x ) = h 0 ( x ) h 0 ( 1 ) { h }(x)={ h }_{ 0 }(x)-{ h }_{ 0 }(-1) .

Together, the graphs of g ( x ) g(x) an h ( x ) h(x) create a "leaf" in the coordinate plane. Find the area of this leaf, rounded to 3 decimal places. If this leaf doesn't exist (open leaf), use -0.5 as your answer.

Hint: Try graphing the integrals.


The answer is 0.589.
