   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The line changes sign at x=3, so split the interval and add the absolute areas.

   Concept. Area between a curve and the X-axis is $\int|y|\,dx$; the line $y=3-x$ meets the axis at $x=3$.

   Solution.

   $\int_2^3(3-x)\,dx=\left[3x-\tfrac{x^2}{2}\right]_2^3=4.5-4=0.5,$ …

   [!TLDR]

   Series current is 0.625 A, and the P-Q drop across the 32 $\Omega$ resistor is 20 V.

   Concept

   In a series potential divider the same current flows through both resistors, and the voltage across each is $V = IR$ (Ohm's law).

   Solution

   The 64 $\Omega$ and 32 $\Omega$ resistors are in series between 60 V and 0 V, so the total resistance is

   $R = 64 + 32 = 96\ \Omega,$

   and the current is …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\cos x\ge0$ on $[-\pi/2,\pi/2]$, so area $=\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx$.

   Concept. Since $\cos x\ge0$ throughout this interval, the area equals the plain integral. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   By symmetry the area $=2\int_0^1 x^2\,dx=\frac23$.

   The curve is $y=x|x|$: for $x\ge0$, $y=x^2$ (above the axis); for $x<0$, $y=-x^2$ (below the axis). The bounded region between $x=-1$ and $x=1$ is symmetric, so the total (unsigned) area is twice the area from $0$ to $1$: …
