Q. find the area of the figure bonded by y=2x, y=5x, x=3
Identify Intersection Points: Identify the points of intersection between the lines y=2x, y=5x, and the line x=3. y=2x and y=5x intersect when 2x=5x, which never happens, so they don't intersect. The lines y=2x and x=3 intersect when y=2(3), so y=6. The lines y=5x and x=3 intersect when y=5x2, so y=5x3.
Plot Points on Coordinate Plane: Plot the points of intersection on a coordinate plane.The points are (3,6) and (3,15).
Draw Triangle with Lines: Draw the lines y=2x, y=5x, and x=3 to form a triangle.The base of the triangle is on the x-axis from x=0 to x=3.The height of the triangle is from y=6 (intersection with y=2x) to y=15 (intersection with y=5x).
Calculate Triangle Height: Calculate the height of the triangle.Height = y at x=3 on y=5x - y at x=3 on y=2x.Height = 15−6=9.
Calculate Triangle Base: Calculate the base of the triangle.Base = x=3−x=0=3.
Calculate Triangle Area: Calculate the area of the triangle.Area = 21× base × height.Area = 21×3×9.Area = 21×27.Area = 13.5.
