Problem H-3

Due in DSC 203 by 12 Noon, Friday February 01, 2002

Proposed by Griff Elder

If the tangent at a point P on the curve y=x³ intersects the curve again at Q, let A be the area of the region bounded by the curve and the line segment PQ. Let B be the area of the region defined in the same way starting with Q instead of P. What is the relationship between A and B?

Solutions, questions and/or comments should be directed to Judy Downey or Griff Elder
