Answer 2

How would I solve this?

Answer 3

you could use geometry and the area of a triangle formula
or
you can use integrals to subtract the two areas under the curves

Answer 4

I used geometry and got 6. Which isn't a choice, any ideas?

Answer 5

you should find the base to be 4, height to be 2

Answer 6

For some reason I put height down as 3. So the answer is 4?

Answer 7

yep the area in the bounded region is 4
