The area of the region
{(x,y):0≤x≤94,0≤y≤1,x≥3y,x+y≥2}\left\{(x, y) : 0 \le x \le \frac94,\quad 0 \le y \le 1,\quad x \ge 3y,\quad x + y \ge 2\right\}
is

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

Slice horizontally. For each yy, xx runs from max⁡(3y, 2−y)\max(3y,\,2-y) to 94\frac94. The two lower bounds cross at y=12y=\frac12, and the strip vanishes when 3y=943y=\frac94, i.e. y=34y=\frac34.

The two pieces.

  • 0≤y≤120\le y\le\frac12: ∫01/2(94−2+y)dy=18+18=14\displaystyle\int_0^{1/2}\left(\frac94-2+y\right)dy=\frac18+\frac18=\frac14.
  • 12≤y≤34\frac12\le y\le\frac34: ∫1/23/4(94−3y)dy=916−32⋅516=332\displaystyle\int_{1/2}^{3/4}\left(\frac94-3y\right)dy=\frac9{16}-\frac32\cdot\frac5{16}=\frac3{32}.

Total. 14+332=1132\frac14+\frac3{32}=\frac{11}{32}. (A)
