3. Verify that as $n$ varies, all these functions respect conditions a), b) and c). Let $A(n)$ and $B(n)$ be the areas of the coloured parts of the tiles obtained from such functions $a_n$ and $b_n$, calculate $\lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} A(n)$ and $\lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} B(n)$ and interpret the results in geometric terms.
The customer decides to order 5,000 tiles with the design derived from $a_2(x)$ and 5,000 with the one derived from $b_2(x)$. The painting is carried out by a mechanical arm that, after depositing the colour, returns to the initial position by flying over the tile along the diagonal. Due to a malfunction, during the production of the 10,000 tiles there is a 20\% probability that the mechanical arm drops a drop of colour at a random point along the diagonal, thus staining the newly produced tile.

$$\int_a^{a+1} (3x^2 + 3) \, dx$$

Knowing that the power dissipated in the resistor due to the Joule effect is $P ( t ) = R I ^ { 2 } ( t )$, determine its average value on the interval $[ 2 a ; 3 a ]$.

$$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm { I } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi / 2 } \frac { \mathrm {~d} } { \mathrm { dx } } ( \sin \mathrm { x } ) ^ { \cos \mathrm { x } } \mathrm { dx } = 1 .$$
(ii) The points of intersection of $- 4 y ^ { 2 } = x$ and $x - 1 = - 5 y ^ { 2 }$ is $( - 4 , - 1 )$ and $( - 4,1 )$
