The answer to this question is B
6 more inches because if you add from 36 to 42 it gives you 6
The
net area of the region in relation to the x-axis, is just the integral at those bounds, thus
![\bf \displaystyle \int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }~8cos(\theta )\cdot d\theta \implies 8\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }~cos(\theta )\cdot d\theta \\\\\\ \left. 8sin(\theta )\cfrac{}{} \right]_{-\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }\implies [8sin(\pi )]~-~\left[8sin\left(-\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \right]\implies [0]-[-8]\implies 8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cint%5Climits_%7B-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5E%7B%5Cpi%20%7D~8cos%28%5Ctheta%20%29%5Ccdot%20d%5Ctheta%20%5Cimplies%208%5Cint%5Climits_%7B-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5E%7B%5Cpi%20%7D~cos%28%5Ctheta%20%29%5Ccdot%20d%5Ctheta%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Cleft.%208sin%28%5Ctheta%20%29%5Ccfrac%7B%7D%7B%7D%20%20%5Cright%5D_%7B-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5E%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%5Cimplies%20%5B8sin%28%5Cpi%20%29%5D~-~%5Cleft%5B8sin%5Cleft%28-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%20%20%5Cright%5D%5Cimplies%20%5B0%5D-%5B-8%5D%5Cimplies%208)
The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it
Hope this helps :)
