Question 2 [2017 Exam 2 Section A Q17]

The graph of a function \(f\), where \(f(-x) = f(x)\), is shown below.

Graph of an even function with x-intercepts at a, b, c, d.

The graph has \(x\)-intercepts at \((a, 0)\), \((b, 0)\), \((c, 0)\) and \((d, 0)\) only.
The area bound by the curve and the \(x\)-axis on the interval \([a, d]\) is

  • A. \(\int_a^d f(x)dx\)
  • B. \(\int_a^b f(x)dx - \int_b^c f(x)dx + \int_c^d f(x)dx\)
  • C. \(2\int_a^b f(x)dx + \int_b^c f(x)dx\)
  • D. \(2\int_a^b f(x)dx - 2\int_b^{b+c} f(x)dx\)
  • E. \(\int_a^b f(x)dx + \int_c^b f(x)dx + \int_d^c f(x)dx\)
