What is the area of the region bounded by |x| \leq 2k and |y| \leq k, where k is a positive <strong>REAL</strong> number?

  1. A. 2k^{2}
  2. B. 4k^{2}
  3. C. 5k^{2}
  4. D. 8k^{2}

Correct Answer: D. 8k^{2}

Explanation

The inequality |x| \leq 2k implies -2k \leq x \leq 2k, which gives a horizontal width of 4k. The inequality |y| \leq k implies -k \leq y \leq k, which gives a vertical height of 2k. The region is a rectangle, and its area is base \times height = 4k \times 2k = 8k^2.
