Problem: Find the value of k (k>1) such that the region enclosed by y=2lnx, y=0, and x=k has an area of 5 square units.

I'm figuring it should start out like this:

f:=->x2lnx;

then im figuring to plot it so i can get a look at the graph so i can guestimate what value for k would be 5 square units.

but what commands can i use to solve it exactly?

I cant remember how to find the intersection of two functions.

I know to first enter in the two functions (f(x) and g(x)).

Then I need to plot them...

But whats the command to find the point of intersection?
