Area of Bounded Regions · Question 20 of 115

Question 20

MediumOriginal question

For the region bounded by the line y=x+2y = x + 2, the xx-axis and the line x=2x = 2, which of the following statements are true?

I. It is the triangle with vertices (−2,0)(-2, 0), (2,0)(2, 0) and (2,4)(2, 4).

II. Its area is ∫−22(x+2) dx\int_{-2}^{2} (x + 2)\,dx.

III. With horizontal strips, its area is ∫04(4−y) dy\int_0^{4} (4 - y)\,dy.

IV. With horizontal strips, its area is ∫04(y−2) dy\int_0^{4} (y - 2)\,dy.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. The line meets the xx-axis at (−2,0)(-2, 0) and x=2x = 2 at (2,4)(2, 4): a triangle of area 12×4×4=8\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 4 = 8, and ∫−22(x+2) dx=8\int_{-2}^{2} (x + 2)\,dx = 8. I and II hold.

  2. A strip at height yy runs from x=y−2x = y - 2 to x=2x = 2, length 4−y4 - y: ∫04(4−y) dy=8\int_0^{4} (4 - y)\,dy = 8, so III holds. IV measures the strip from the yy-axis to the line and gives ∫04(y−2) dy=0\int_0^{4} (y - 2)\,dy = 0: false.

Worth noting

Leaving out III misses that horizontal strips, each from the line to x=2x = 2, give the same 8.
