Forgive my ignorance and for asking such a silly question...

Today in Calc II, I'm introducing the natural log as an integral.  I'd like to 
show the graph of y=1/t from say 0 to 8 and have the area under the graph 
shaded from say 1/2 to 1.  Doing the following seemed natural to me:

plot(1/t,.1,8)+plot(1/t,1/2,1,fill=true).show()

However, this doesn't work.  (Of course, I declared t as a variable earlier.)  
I'm sure I could figure this out, but I teach in an hour and I'm sure someone 
here could quickly tell me:)

Also, if someone wouldn't mind telling when to use ".show" that would be great.


var('t')
plot(1/t,(t,.1,8))+plot(1/t,(t,1/2,1),fill=True,ymin=0)

(sorry; I'd explain more, but I have to run)

Thanks,

Jason
