Compute the area bounded by the lines x + 2y = 2, y – x = 1 and 2x + y = 7.
The lines given are x + 2y = 2
y – x = 1
and
Equate the values of x from 1 and 2 to get,
put the value of y in (2) to get
So, intersection point is (0,1)
On solving the equations, the point of interaction is found to be (0, 1), (2, 3) and (4, -1)
Area of the region bounded by the curve y=f(x), the x -axis and the ordinates x=a and x=b, where f(x) is a continuous function defined on [a, b], is given by
Required area
