Correct answer: B
We need the area of the region
The last inequality is clearly intended as So the region is bounded by:
Thus for a given , admissible satisfy
So we first find where these boundary curves intersect.
1. Intersection of the two lines
Solve
Multiplying by :
Then
So the two lines meet at .
2. Intersection of hyperbola with line
Solve
Multiplying by :
Factor:
Since , we get
and then
So they meet at .
3. Intersection of hyperbola with line
Solve
Multiplying by :
Solve:
Thus
Corresponding points are
Relevant for the enclosed region will be $x=4$ on the right side. --- ### 4. Determine the $x$-intervals For the region to exist, we need\frac1x<\min\left(\frac{5x-1}{4},\frac{17}{4}-x\right).
Since the two lines cross at $x=2$: - for $1\le x\le 2$, the smaller upper bound is $\dfrac{5x-1}{4}$, - for $2\le x\le 4$, the smaller upper bound is $\dfrac{17}{4}-x$. Also, from the hyperbola-line intersections, the valid interval is from $x=1$ to $x=4$. Hence area isA=\int_1^2\left(\frac{5x-1}{4}-\frac1x\right)dx +\int_2^4\left(\frac{17}{4}-x-\frac1x\right)dx.
--- ### 5. Evaluate the first integralI_1=\int_1^2\left(\frac{5x-1}{4}-\frac1x\right)dx =\int_1^2\left(\frac54x-\frac14-\frac1x\right)dx.
\int\left(\frac54x-\frac14-\frac1x\right)dx =\frac58x^2-\frac14x-\ln x.
I_1=\left[\frac58x^2-\frac14x-\ln x\right]_1^2.
At $x=2$:\frac58(4)-\frac14(2)-\ln 2=\frac52-\frac12-\ln2=2-\ln2.
At $x=1$:\frac58-\frac14-0=\frac38.
I_1=2-\ln2-\frac38=\frac{13}{8}-\ln2.
--- ### 6. Evaluate the second integralI_2=\int_2^4\left(\frac{17}{4}-x-\frac1x\right)dx.
\int\left(\frac{17}{4}-x-\frac1x\right)dx =\frac{17}{4}x-\frac12x^2-\ln x.
I_2=\left[\frac{17}{4}x-\frac12x^2-\ln x\right]_2^4.
At $x=4$:\frac{17}{4}(4)-\frac12(16)-\ln4=17-8-\ln4=9-\ln4.
At $x=2$:\frac{17}{4}(2)-\frac12(4)-\ln2=\frac{17}{2}-2-\ln2=\frac{13}{2}-\ln2.
I_2=(9-\ln4)-\left(\frac{13}{2}-\ln2\right) =\frac52-\ln2.
--- ### 7. Total areaA=I_1+I_2=\left(\frac{13}{8}-\ln2\right)+\left(\frac52-\ln2\right).
\frac52=\frac{20}{8},
A=\frac{33}{8}-2\ln2=\frac{33}{8}-\ln4.
\boxed{\frac{33}{8}-\log_e 4}.
