Correct answer: C
-
We need the area of the region So the required area is
-
Since is the greatest integer function, on the interval we have:
- For ,
- For ,
- At , , but a single point does not affect area.
Hence,
0, & 0\le x<1,\\ x-1, & 1\le x<2. \end{cases}$$ 3. Therefore the area becomes $$\text{Area}=\int_0^1 2\sqrt{x}\,dx+\int_1^2\big(2\sqrt{x}-(x-1)\big)\,dx.$$ 4. Compute the first integral: $$\int_0^1 2\sqrt{x}\,dx=2\int_0^1 x^{1/2}\,dx=2\left[\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\right]_0^1=\frac{4}{3}.$$ 5. Compute the second integral: $$\int_1^2\big(2\sqrt{x}-(x-1)\big)dx =\int_1^2 2\sqrt{x}\,dx-\int_1^2 (x-1)\,dx.$$ Now, $$\int_1^2 2\sqrt{x}\,dx=2\left[\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\right]_1^2 =\frac{4}{3}(2\sqrt{2}-1).$$ Also, $$\int_1^2 (x-1)\,dx=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}-x\right]_1^2 =\left(2-2\right)-\left(\frac12-1\right)=\frac12.$$ So, $$\int_1^2\big(2\sqrt{x}-(x-1)\big)dx =\frac{4}{3}(2\sqrt{2}-1)-\frac12.-
