What is the area of the region bounded by |x| 2k and |y| k , where k is a positive real number?
Options
- A2k^2
- B4k^2
- C5k^2
- D8k^2
Correct answer
D. 8k^2
Step-by-step solution
The given inequalities are |x| 2k and |y| k . This can be written as -2k x 2k and -k y k . These inequalities represent a rectangular region in the xy -plane. The length of the rectangle along the x -axis is 2k - (-2k) = 4k . The width of the rectangle along the y -axis is k - (-k) = 2k . The area of the rectangular region is given by length width. Area = 4k 2k = 8k^2 . Answer: 8k^2
