What is the area between the curve y = cosx and the x-axis in the interval \( \left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \) ?

For the next two (02) items that follow : Let k be the area between the curve y = sinx and x-axis in the interval \( \left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right] \)

  1. A. k
  2. B. 1 - k
  3. C. \frac{\pi-k}{2}
  4. D. \frac{\pi-2k}{2}

Correct Answer: A. k

Explanation

By symmetry, the integral of \( \cos x \) from \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) to \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) is equal to the integral of \( \sin x \) from 0 to \( \frac{\pi}{4} \), which is given as k.
