### Evaluating Definite Integrals Using Geometry

#### Problem Statement
A graph of \( f(x) \) is shown below. Using the geometry of the graph, evaluate the following definite integrals:

a) \[ \int_4^{10} f(x) \, dx = \]

b) \[ \int_0^4 f(x) \, dx = \]

c) \[ \int_0^{10} f(x) \, dx = \]

d) \[ \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx = \]

e) \[ \int_3^{10} f(x) \, dx = \]

#### Graph Explanation
The given graph appears to show a linear function declining from a certain point on the \( y \)-axis and passing through another point, forming a right triangle beneath the \( x \)-axis. Key points and specific values on the graph are:

- Starts at \( y = 4 \) when \( x = 0 \).
- Crosses the \( x \)-axis at \( x = 8 \).
- Ends at \( y = -2 \) when \( x = 10 \).

##### Steps to Evaluate 
1. **Calculate the area of geometric shapes (triangle and rectangle) influenced by the curve.**
2. **Use appropriate limits of integration to determine the areas under the curve.**

Using the geometric interpretation for a triangle:
\[ \text{Area of a triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

a) **From \( x = 4 \) to \( x = 10 \):**
   - Analyze the part of the triangle from \( x = 4 \) to \( x = 8 \), using height 4, and part from \( x = 8 \) to \( x = 10 \) with a height extending to -2.

b) **From \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 4 \):**
   - This area's height starts at 4 and decreases linearly.

c) **From \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 10 \):**
   - Includes entire triangular region below initially positive \( y \) values crossing negative \( y \) values.

d) **From \( x = 3 \) to \( x = 4 \):**
