Find the area of the shaded region. (a) 5- y 3 2- (1,4) (5,0) 1 3 4 5 6 (b) 3 y 2 Decide whether the problem can be solved using precalculus, or whether calculus is required. If the problem can be solved using precalculus, solve it. If the problem seems to require calculus, use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution. STEP 1: Consider the figure in part (a). Since this region is simply a triangle, you may use precalculus methods to solve this part of the problem. First determine the height of the triangle and the length of the triangle's base. height 4 units units base 5 STEP 2: Compute the area of the triangle by employing a formula from precalculus, thus finding the area of the shaded region in part (a). 10 square units STEP 3: Consider the figure in part (b). Since this region is defined by a complicated curve, the problem seems to require calculus. Find an approximation of the shaded region by using a graphical approach. (Hint: Treat the shaded regi as approximately equivalent to a triangle on top of a rectangle and sum the areas of these objects.) square units
