Options
- A6
- B15 2
- C17 2
- D10
Correct answer
D. 10
Step-by-step solution
The required area is given by the integral of |y| with respect to x from x = -2 to x = 4 . A = _ -2 ⁴ |x| dx A = _ -2 ⁰ (-x) dx + ₀⁴ x dx A = [ - x^2 2 ]_ -2 ⁰ + [ x^2 2 ]₀⁴ A = (0 - (- 4 2 ) ) + ( 16 2 - 0 ) A = 2 + 8 = 10 Answer: 10
