NDA2016MathematicsArea Under CurvesActual
Consider the curves y=|x-1| and |x|=2 What is the area of the region bounded by the curves and x-axis?
Options
- A3 square units
- B4 square units
- C5 square units
- D6 square units
Correct answer
C. 5 square units
Step-by-step solution
Bounded region is shaded. So area of bounded region has two triangles A C B and B D E . Area of A C B= 1 2 3 3= 9 2 Area of B D E= 1 2 1 1= 1 2 Area of region bounded by curves and x -axis is Area = A C B+ B D E= 9 2 + 1 2 =5 square units
