Let's solve each integral by interpreting the graph in terms of geometric areas. The areas **above the x-axis are positive**, and areas **below the x-axis are negative**.
Let's break the calculations down step by step.
---
### **Step 1: Understand the graph**
We see the piecewise linear graph of \( f(x) \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 9 \).
Vertices (approximate from the graph):
- (0, 0)
- (1, 1)
- (3, 1)
- (5, -1)
- (7, -2)
- (9, -1)
---
### **Step 2: Calculate areas for each interval**
#### 1. \(\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx\)
From \(x=0\) to \(x=1\): Triangle from (0,0) to (1,1)
- Area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 = 0.5 \)
From \(x=1\) to \(x=2\): Rectangle (height = 1, width = 1)
- Area = \( 1 \times 1 = 1 \)
Total area from \(x=0\) to \(x=2\): \(0.5 + 1 = \boxed{1.5}\)
---
#### 2. \(\int_0^5 f(x)\,dx\)
Sum areas piece by piece:
- From \(x=0\) to \(x=1\): Triangle, area = 0.5
- From \(x=1\) to \(x=3\): Rectangle, area = 2 (height 1, width 2)
- From \(x=3\) to \(x=5\): Trapezoid (top base = 1, bottom base = -1, height = 2)
Trapezoid area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times (1 + (-1)) \times 2 = 0 \) (since bases add to zero, area=0)
**Sum up:** \(0.5 + 2 = \boxed{2.5}\)
---
#### 3. \(\int_5^7 f(x)\,dx\)
From \(x=5\) to \(x=7\): Straight line from (-1) to (-2).
This forms a trapezoid:
- Height: 2 (from 5 to 7)
- Bases: -1 and -2
Area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times (-1 + -2) \times 2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-3) \times 2 = -3 \)
So, \(\boxed{-3}\)
---
#### 4. \(\int_0^9 f(x)\,dx\)
Add up all areas from each interval:
- \(0 \to 1\): Triangle, area = 0.5
- \(1 \to 3\): Rectangle, area = 2
- \(3 \to 5\): Trapezoid: \( \frac{1}{2} \times (1 + (-1)) \times 2 = 0 \)
- \(5 \to 7\): Trapezoid: \( -3 \) (already calculated)
- \(7 \to 9\): Trapezoid: bases (-2 and -1), height 2
Area = \( \frac{1}{2} \times (-2 + -1) \times 2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-3) \times 2 = -3 \)
Sum: \(0.5 + 2 + 0 + (-3) + (-3) = 2.5 - 6 = \boxed{-3.5}\)
---
## **Final Answers:**
1. \(\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx = \boxed{1.5}\)
2. \(\int_0^5 f(x)\,dx = \boxed{2.5}\)
3. \(\int_5^7 f(x)\,dx = \boxed{-3}\)
4. \(\int_0^9 f(x)\,dx = \boxed{-3.5}\)
