Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves evaluating definite integrals of a piecewise-defined function , represented by a graph. Here's the breakdown of the situation and the steps to calculate the remaining part (c):
Observations
- The graph is composed of:
- Two straight lines between to and to .
- A semicircle from to .
Given:
For part (c), , the total integral can be broken down as:
Steps:
-
Use the first segment:
(already given). -
Semicircle calculation (middle segment):
(already given). -
Calculate the last segment ( to ): The function appears to return to 0 along a straight line. The area under the curve for this part is triangular:
- Height = 10 (from to )
- Base = 5 (from to ) Area = .
-
Add all components:
