The area of the given region under the curve of a function f(x) = ax + b on the interval [0, 4] is 16 square units. So, all the options satisfy the value of a and b except (7, -9).
How to find the area of a region?
Supposing that there is no direct formula available for deriving the area, we can derive the area of that region by dividing it into smaller pieces, whose area can be known directly.
Then summing all those pieces' area gives us the area of the main big region.
The area of the given region under the curve of a function f(x) = ax + b on the interval [0, 4] is 16 square units.
f(x) is a linear function, the area under the curve on the interval [0,4] is a trapezoid with a height of 4 and bases of lengths f(0) and f(4).
The area of a trapezoid is the height times the average of the bases.
a. f(x)=-2x+8 f(0)=8, f(4)=0;
area = 4(8/2) = 16
b. f(x)=x+2; f(0)=2, f(4)=6;
area = 4(8/2) = 16
c. f(x)=3x-2; f(0)=-2, f(4)=10;
area = 4(8/2) = 16
d. f(x)=5x-6; f(0)=-6, f(4)=14;
area = 4(8/2) = 16
e. f(x)=7x-9; f(0)=-9, f(4)=19;
area = 4(10/2) = 20
Thus, The area is NOT 16 for choice e.
