Can someone help me figure this out? (image)

The area of the first integral from a to b is listed as 13 and the area of the second integral from b to c is listed as 2 So 13+2 = 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just add those two numbers to get the answer for both questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yessir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 was incorrect for both...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the integral below the curve shows up as negative, on account if it is below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int_a^bf(x)dx=13\] because you are told that the area is \(13\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you also see that \[\int_b^cf(x)dx=-2\] as it is negative

Thanks so much satellite! Didn't know it was that simple
