CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The whole region has area ∫042x dx=16\int_0^{4} 2x\,dx = 16, so each part has 8.

  2. ∫0c2x dx=c2=8\int_0^{c} 2x\,dx = c^{2} = 8, so c=22c = 2\sqrt{2}.

Worth noting

2 halves the base, but the strips grow taller towards x=4x = 4, so the line that halves the area lies to the right of the midpoint.
