Solution
To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step:
1. Understanding the Graph
- The graph depicts two semicircles:
- The left semicircle is centered at and has a radius of 1.
- The right semicircle is centered at and has a radius of 2.
- The integrals involve combinations of these semicircles. The integral of corresponds to the signed area under the graph.
2. Calculate Key Areas
Left Semicircle (radius ):
- Area = .
- This area is below the x-axis, so its contribution to the integral is .
Right Semicircle (radius ):
- Area = .
- This area is above the x-axis, so its contribution to the integral is .
3. Evaluate the Integrals
Part (a):
- Multiply each area by 2:
- Left semicircle: ,
- Right semicircle: .
- Total: .
Part (b):
- Multiply each area by 3:
- Left semicircle: ,
