Q. Find the area of \newline​​the curved trapezoid bounded by the lines y=3x+6y=3x+6, y=0y=0, x=1x=-1, x=2x=2.
  1. Find Intersection Points: First, we need to find the points of intersection between the lines to determine the vertices of the trapezoid.\newlineFor y=0y=0 and x=1x=-1, the point is (1,0)(-1,0).\newlineFor y=0y=0 and x=2x=2, the point is (2,0)(2,0).\newlineFor y=3x+6y=3x+6 and x=1x=-1, y=3(1)+6=3y=3(-1)+6=3, so the point is (1,3)(-1,3).\newlineFor y=3x+6y=3x+6 and x=2x=2, x=1x=-122, so the point is x=1x=-133.
  2. Calculate Trapezoid Area: Now, we calculate the area of the trapezoid. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=12×(b1+b2)×hA = \frac{1}{2} \times (b_1 + b_2) \times h, where b1b_1 and b2b_2 are the bases and hh is the height. Here, b1b_1 is the length from (1,0)(-1,0) to (2,0)(2,0), which is 33 units. b2b_2 is the length from (1,3)(-1,3) to b1b_100, which we find by calculating the distance between these two points.
  3. Find Distance Between Points: To find the distance between (1,3)(-1,3) and (2,12)(2,12), we use the distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}. So, d=(2(1))2+(123)2=32+92=9+81=90d = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2 + (12-3)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 9^2} = \sqrt{9 + 81} = \sqrt{90}.
  4. Calculate Trapezoid Height: The height hh of the trapezoid is the distance between y=0y=0 and y=3x+6y=3x+6 along the x=1x=-1 or x=2x=2 line.\newlineSince these lines are vertical, the height is simply the difference in yy-values at x=1x=-1 or x=2x=2.\newlineFor x=1x=-1, the yy-values are y=0y=000 and y=0y=011, so y=0y=022.\newlineFor x=2x=2, the yy-values are y=0y=000 and y=0y=066, so y=0y=077.\newlineWe made a mistake here; the height should be consistent, so we need to choose one y=0y=088-value to calculate the height.
