The area of the region bounded by the curve y = f(x), x axis and the lines x = a and y = b, (b > a) is given by1. \(\displaystyle\int_a^b x \ dx\)2. \(\displaystyle\int_a^b y \ dy\)3. \(\displaystyle\int_a^b y \ dx\)4. \(\displaystyle\int_a^b x \ dy\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : \(\displaystyle\int_a^b y \ dx\)

Explanation:

Area enclosed by a curve y = f (x) and x axis is given by:

A = ∫ f (x) dx

Since curve is bounded by lines x = a and y = b

i.e Lower limit for x = a and upper limit for  x = b (∵ b > a)

∴ \(A=\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x) \ dx\)

Since f(x) = y

Hence \(A=\displaystyle\int_a^b y \ dx\)
