The area enclosed by \(y = |x-1| + |x-2|\) and \(y = 3\)
Correct Answer: 4
Solution and Explanation
The given equation for \(y\) is \(y = |x - 1| + |x - 2|\). The graph of \(y\)intersects the line \(y = 3\) at certain points, forming a bounded area.
The area can be calculated by finding the points of intersection of the curves and calculating the area between them. After calculating, we find the area is 4 square units.
