Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The area \(A\) of the region bounded by the line \(y = 2x + 1\), the \(x\)-axis, \(x = a\), and \(x = 3\) is given by the definite integral of the function \(f(x) = 2x + 1\) from \(a\) to \(3\). \(A = \int_{a}^{3} (2x + 1) dx = 10\) Evaluating the integral:…
