Part A Area Calculation Errors by api-359656546 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The error in part A of the problem was using an incorrect formula to calculate the area under the curve from 1 to 10. The correct formula is the integral from 1 to 10 of the square root of x - 1 dx. To solve using u-substitution, let u = x - 1, then du = dx. This gives the integral from 1 to 10 of u^1/2 du. Integrating this gives (2u^3/2) from 1 to 10. Plugging in the limits correctly calculates the area as 18.
