Let f(x) = x p and g(x) = x 1/q , where p > 1 and q

Question:

Let f(x) = xp and g(x) = x1/q, where p > 1 and q > 1 are positive integers. Let R1 be the region in the first quadrant between y = f(x) and y = x and let R2 be the region in the first quadrant between y = g(x) and y = x. 

a. Find the area of R1 and R2 when p = q, and determine which region has the greater area.

b. Find the area of R1 and R2 when p > q, and determine which region has the greater area.

c. Find the area of R1 and R2 when p < q, and determine which region has the greater area.
