The value of the definite integral \[\int_{-3}^{1}f(x) =4\]is the same as the sum of the areas of regions A, B, and C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*mind that the area of region B is signed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be as simple as 8-4 = 4 or do I have to do something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's simple. something like \[Area_A -Area_B + Area_C = 4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm but you said region B is signed, meaning its negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 - 3 + A_c = 4 A_c = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wouldnt it be 4 - (5-3) = 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's also correct :-P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx
