umm... is it 7.75/2 the answer?

just square it, times by pi, integrate it, then substitute the values. :)

oh wait its the area... lol... so just integrate it and sub in the values. 4 - 1/2 = 3.5

A = I{a->b} f(x)

Intergrate e^x
becomes [e^x]a->b
substitue limits (log 1/2 and log 4)
so (log4 - log1/2) = log8 units<sup>2</sup>

Acutally when you sub in the limits log4 and log0.5, it becomes e^(log4) - e^(log0.5) = 4 - 0.5 = 3.5 (as abdoo posted) not log8.

It's too easy to make silly mistakes with such simple questions :)
