What is the area bounded by the curve f(x) and y=3?

Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow : Let the curve f(x)=|x-3|.

  1. A. 3 square units
  2. B. 4.5 square units
  3. C. 7.5 square units
  4. D. 9 square units

Correct Answer: D. 9 square units

Explanation

The curve y = |x-3| intersects the line y=3 when |x-3|=3, giving x=0 and x=6. The bounded region is a triangle with base 6 and height 3. Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 3 = 9 square units.
