Solution

Let us carefully analyze and solve the given problem step by step.


Observations:

  1. The graph consists of two semicircles:

    • A lower semicircle between x=0x = 0 and x=2x = 2, centered at x=1x = 1 with radius 11, below the xx-axis.
    • An upper semicircle between x=2x = 2 and x=6x = 6, centered at x=4x = 4 with radius 22, above the xx-axis.
  2. The integrals involve different constants scaling f(x)f(x) and absolute values.


Step 1: Key Calculations

a) 022f(x)dx\int_0^2 2f(x) \, dx

  • The interval x[0,2]x \in [0, 2] covers the lower semicircle.
  • The area of a semicircle is: A=12πr2A = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 where r=1r = 1 (radius of the semicircle). Hence, the area is: A=12π(1)2=π2.A = \frac{1}{2} \pi (1)^2 = \frac{\pi}{2}. Since the semicircle is below the xx-axis, the integral of f(x)f(x) over this interval is: 02f(x)dx=π2.\int_0^2 f(x) \, dx = -\frac{\pi}{2}. Multiplying by 2 (as per the problem): 022f(x)dx=2×(π2)=π.\int_0^2 2f(x) \, dx = 2 \times \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\pi.

b) 064f(x)dx\int_0^6 4f(x) \, dx

  • The interval x[0,6]x \in [0, 6] includes both the lower and upper semicircles.
  • The integral of f(x)f(x) for the lower semicircle (from x=0x = 0 to x=2x = 2) is π2-\frac{\pi}{2}.
  • The integral of f(x)f(x) for the upper semicircle (from x=2x = 2 to x=6x = 6) is: 26f(x)dx=12π(2)2=2π.\int_2^6 f(x) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \pi (2)^2 = 2\pi. Adding these together: 06f(x)dx=π2+2π=3π2.\int_0^6 f(x) \, dx = -\frac{\pi}{2} + 2\pi = \frac{3\pi}{2}. Multiplying by 4: 064f(x)dx=4×3π2=6π.\int_0^6 4f(x) \, dx = 4 \times \frac{3\pi}{2} = 6\pi.

c) 145f(x)dx\int_1^4 5f(x) \, dx

  • The interval x[1,4]x \in [1, 4] includes:
    • The right half of the lower semicircle (x=1x = 1 to x=2x = 2): \text{Area} = \frac{1}{4} \pi (1)^2 = \frac{\pi}{4}, \text{ negative (below x-axis).}
    • The left half of the upper semicircle (x=2x = 2 to x=4x = 4): \text{Area} = \frac{1}{4} \pi (2)^2 = \pi, \text{ positive (above x-axis).} Adding these: 14f(x)dx=π4+π=3π4.\int_1^4 f(x) \, dx = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \pi = \frac{3\pi}{4}. Multiplying by 5: 145f(x)dx=5×3π4=15π4.\int_1^4 5f(x) \, dx = 5 \times \frac{3\pi}{4} = \frac{15\pi}{4}.

d) 064f(x)dx\int_0^6 |4f(x)| \, dx

  • The absolute value of f(x)f(x) turns both semicircles' contributions positive:
    • Lower semicircle (x=0x = 0 to x=2x = 2): π2\frac{\pi}{2}.
    • Upper semicircle (x=2x = 2 to x=6x = 6): 2π2\pi. Adding these together: 06f(x)dx=π2+2π=5π2.\int_0^6 |f(x)| \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2\pi = \frac{5\pi}{2}. Multiplying by 4: 064f(x)dx=4×5π2=10π.\int_0^6 |4f(x)| \, dx = 4 \times \frac{5\pi}{2} = 10\pi.

Final Answers:

b) 6π6\pi
c) 15π4\frac{15\pi}{4}
d) 10π10\pi
