AP Calculus BC : 8.6 Finding the Area Between Curves That Intersect at More Than Two Points- Exam Style questions with Answer- MCQ

Question

The region bounded by the x-axis and the part of the graph of  y =cos x between \( x=-\frac{\pi }{2}\)and\( x=\frac{\pi }{2}\) is separated into two regions by the line x = k . If the area of the region for\(  -\frac{\pi }{2}\leq x\leq k\) is  three times the area of the region for\( k\leq x\leq \frac{\pi }{2}\), then k=

Question

 

The curves \(y=f(x )\)   and    \(y=g( x) \) shown in the figure above intersect at the point \(( a , b)\)  . The area of the shaded region enclosed by these curves and the line \(x = −1\) is given by

(A) \(\int_{0}^{a}(f(x)-g(x))dx+\int_{-1}^{0}(f(x)+g(x))dx\)

(B) \(\int_{-1}^{b}g(x)dx+\int_{d}^{c}f(x)dx\)

(C) \(\int_{-1}^{c}(f(x)-g(x))dx\)

(D) \(\int_{-1}^{a}(f(x)-g(x))dx\)

(E) \(\int_{-1}^{a}(|f(x)|-|g(x)|)dx\)
