Q. 13
Question
Consider the function f graphed here. Shade in the regions between f and the x-axis on (a) [−2, 6] and (b) [−4, 2]. Are the signed areas on these intervals positive or negative, and why?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The signed area is negative.
1Step 1. Given information
2Step 2. Determine whether the area is positive or negative
From the above graph, it is clear that -axis on the given interval is negative. Therefore, the signed area is negative.
