Answer:
- 4√3 ≈ 6.92820
- 10
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The integral from 0 to 3 of 2x^(1/2) can be found using the power rule:
area = 2(2/3x^(3/2)) for x = 3
= 4/3(3√3)
area = 4√3 . . . square units
__
2. The line equation for y=0 is corrupted, so we assume the line equation for x is intended to be x=0. The area is a right triangle with side lengths 4 and 5, so the geometric area formula applies:
A = 1/2bh = 1/2(4)(5) = 10
The area of the triangular region is 10 square units.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you really intend the right bound of the enclosed area to be x=b, then the area is the shape of a trapezoid. One base length is 5; the other is (5 -5/4b), and the height of the trapezoid is (b). The area is then ...
A = 1/2(b1+b2)h
A = 1/2(5 +5 -5/4b)(b) = 5b -5/8b^2
