If $f(x) = 2 \ln(\sqrt{e^x})$, what is the area bounded by $f(x)$ for the interval $[0, 2]$on the x-axis?

The correct answer is
2

Simplifying the Function $f(x)$

First, simplify the given function $f(x) = 2 \ln(\sqrt{e^x})$.

  • Use the property $\sqrt{a} = a^{1/2}$: $f(x) = 2 \ln((e^x)^{1/2})$
  • Use the exponent rule $(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$: $f(x) = 2 \ln(e^{x/2})$
  • Use the logarithm property $\ln(e^a) = a$: $f(x) = 2 \times (x/2)$
  • Simplify the expression: $f(x) = x$

The function simplifies to $f(x) = x$.

Calculating the Bounded Area

The area bounded by the function $f(x) = x$ on the interval $[0, 2]$ on the x-axis is calculated using a definite integral.

  • Set up the integral for the area: Area = $\int_{0}^{2} f(x) dx$
  • Substitute the simplified function $f(x) = x$: Area = $\int_{0}^{2} x dx$
  • Find the antiderivative of $x$: The antiderivative is $\frac{x^2}{2}$.
  • Evaluate the definite integral using the fundamental theorem of calculus: Area = $[\frac{x^2}{2}]_{0}^{2}$
  • Substitute the upper and lower limits: Area = $\frac{2^2}{2} - \frac{0^2}{2}$
  • Calculate the result: Area = $\frac{4}{2} - 0 = 2$

The area bounded by the function $f(x) = 2 \ln(\sqrt{e^x})$ over the interval $[0, 2]$ is 2.
