STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the area under the graph of g(x)g(x) for three different intervals. Watch out! Areas below the x-axis are considered negative!
Also, remember the formula for the area of a circle is πr2\pi \cdot r^2.

STEP 2

1. Area of the triangle
2. Area of the semicircle
3. Area of the second triangle
4. Sum it all up!

STEP 3

Let's **start** with the interval [0,2][0, 2].
This part of the graph is a **triangle**!
We know the area of a triangle is 12baseheight \frac{1}{2} \cdot \text{base} \cdot \text{height} .

STEP 4

The **base** of our triangle goes from x=0x = 0 to x=2x = 2, so it has a length of 20=22 - 0 = 2.
The **height** is 44.

STEP 5

So, the area of this triangle is 1224=4. \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot 4 = 4.

STEP 6

Next up is the interval [2,6][2, 6].
This part of the graph is a **semicircle** below the x-axis.
Remember, the area of a full circle is πr2\pi \cdot r^2.
A semicircle is half of that, so its area is 12πr2\frac{1}{2} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2.

STEP 7

Looking at the graph, the **radius** of the semicircle is 22.

STEP 8

So, the area of the semicircle is 12π22=12π4=2π. \frac{1}{2} \cdot \pi \cdot 2^2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \pi \cdot 4 = 2\pi. Since it's *below* the x-axis, this area is considered **negative**, so we have 2π-2\pi.

STEP 9

Finally, we have the interval [6,7][6, 7].
This is another **triangle**!

STEP 10

The **base** of this triangle goes from x=6x = 6 to x=7x = 7, so it has a length of 76=17 - 6 = 1.
The **height** is 22.

STEP 11

The area of this triangle is 1212=1. \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 1.

STEP 12

For the integral from 00 to 77, we **add** the areas we found: 44 (the first triangle), 2π-2\pi (the semicircle), and 11 (the second triangle).

STEP 13

07g(x)dx=4+(2π)+1=52π. \int_{0}^{7} g(x) \, dx = 4 + (-2\pi) + 1 = 5 - 2\pi.

STEP 14

(a) 02g(x)dx=4\int_{0}^{2} g(x) \, dx = 4 (b) 26g(x)dx=2π\int_{2}^{6} g(x) \, dx = -2\pi (c) 07g(x)dx=52π\int_{0}^{7} g(x) \, dx = 5 - 2\pi
