Question
![**Problem Statement:**
Find the area between the curves \( y = e^{-0.5x} \) and \( y = 2.5x + 1 \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 3 \).
**Solution:**
Calculate the definite integral of the absolute difference between the two functions over the interval from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 3 \).
**Area Calculation:**
\[ \text{Area} = \int_{0}^{3} \left| (e^{-0.5x}) - (2.5x + 1) \right| \, dx \]
**Note:**
- Make sure to find the points of intersection within the interval to determine which function is on top.
- Evaluate the integral and simplify to find the numeric area value.
**Final Input:**
Area = [Answer Field]
Students can input their calculated area into the provided answer field.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6d11dbd9-c0aa-4cd6-9283-77d349b104f3%2F60422957-8f69-4528-81ff-1a93d8259b94%2Ftqpqaz_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
