Answer:
The area between the two functions is approximately 1.333 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I understand your question correctly, you're looking for the area surrounded by the the line y = 2x and the parabola y = x², (as shown in the attached image).
To do this, we just need to take the integral of y = x², and subtract that from the area under y = 2x, within that range.
First we need to find where they intersect:
2x = x²
2 = x
So they intersect at (2, 4) and (0, 0)
Now we simply need to take the integrals of each, subtracting the parabola from the line (as the parabola will have lower values in that range):
So the correct answer is C, the area between the two functions is 4/3 units.
