Question where a parameter or constant must be determined so that a given area condition is satisfied, such as a line bisecting a region or two sub-regions having equal areas.
If the area of the region $\left\{ ( x , y ) : - 1 \leq x \leq 1 , 0 \leq y \leq a + \mathrm { e } ^ { | x | } - \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } , \mathrm { a } > 0 \right\}$ is $\frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 } + 8 \mathrm { e } + 1 } { \mathrm { e } }$, then the value of $a$ is : (1) 8 (2) 7 (3) 5 (4) 6
In the graph below, the line $y = k$ is drawn such that the areas of regions A and B are equal. Accordingly, what is the value of k? A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) $\frac { 9 } { 4 }$ E) $\frac { 11 } { 2 }$
In the rectangular coordinate plane; the region between the curve $y = 3 \sqrt { x }$, the line $x = 1$, and the line $y = 0$ is divided into two regions of equal area by the line $y = m x$. Accordingly, what is m? A) $\frac { 3 } { 2 }$ B) $\frac { 4 } { 3 }$ C) $\frac { 5 } { 4 }$ D) 1 E) 2
Let k be a positive real number. The area of the bounded region between the line $\mathrm { y } = \mathrm { kx }$ and the parabola $y = x ^ { 2 }$ is $\frac { 9 } { 16 }$ square units. Accordingly, what is the value of $\mathbf { k }$? A) $\frac { 3 } { 2 }$ B) $\frac { 4 } { 3 }$ C) $\frac { 7 } { 4 }$ D) $\frac { 7 } { 6 }$ E) $\frac { 8 } { 5 }$
