For what value of m with m 0 , is the area bounded by the lines y=x, y=m x and x=2 equal to 3 ?
Options
- A- 1 2
- B-1
- C- 3 2
- D-2
Correct answer
A. - 1 2
Step-by-step solution
O(0,0) is the origin A= A (2,2), B= B (2,2 m) Area ( O A B)=3 1 2 | array ccc 0 & 0 & 1 2 & 2 & 1 2 & 2 m & 1 array |=3 |4 m-4|=6 4 m-4= 64 m=10,-2 m= 10 4 , -2 4 m 0 so, m=- 1 2
