Identify intersections of lines and parabola within the range \( |x| \leq 3 \).
Solve \( 2|x| + 1 = x^2 + 1 \) for \( x \).
\[ 2|x| = x^2 \]
\[ x = -2, 0, 2 \quad \text{(Only valid within the given range)} \]
\[ \text{Area} = \int_{-2}^{0} (x^2 + 1 - (2(-x) + 1)) \, dx + \int_{0}^{2} (x^2 + 1 - (2x + 1)) \, dx \]
\[ = \int_{-2}^{0} (x^2 - 2x) \, dx + \int_{0}^{2} (x^2 - 2x) \, dx \]
\[ \text{Area} = 2 \times \int_{0}^{2} (x^2 - 2x) \, dx \]
\[ = 2 \times \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} - x^2 \right]_0^2 \]
\[ = 2 \times \left[ \frac{8}{3} - 4 \right] \]
\[ = 2 \times \left[ -\frac{4}{3} \right] = -\frac{8}{3} \]
\[ \text{Total Area} = 2 \times \left| -\frac{8}{3} \right| = \frac{16}{3} \]
If the system of equations \[ x + 2y - 3z = 2, \quad 2x + \lambda y + 5z = 5, \quad 14x + 3y + \mu z = 33 \]
has infinitely many solutions, then \( \lambda + \mu \) is equal to:
Two rods of equal length \(60\,\text{cm}\) each are joined together end to end. The coefficients of linear expansion of the rods are \(24\times10^{-6}\^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}\) and \(1.2\times10^{-5}\^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}\). Their initial temperature is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\), which is increased to \(100^{\circ}\text{C}\). Find the final length of the combination (in cm).
