Find the area of the region determined by the inequalities \(y \ge |x|\) and \(y \leq -|x+1| + 4.\)

Graphing would be one way to find out which areas are covered by the inequalities.

I tried to graph it, but it's telling me my answer is wrong and I would like to see if anyone has an algebraic way of solving it. (or an explanation for the graphing method).

Graphing  is definitely WAY easier  than an algebraic method

 

This shows  that  we really have the area of a simple region  (a rectangle)

One dimension of the rectangle  is   sqrt [( 1.5^2 + 1.5^2]  = 1.5sqrt (2)

 

And the other  is    sqrt [ 2.5^2 + 2.5^2]  = 2.5sqrt(2)

 

The area is   ( 1.5) (2.5) sqrt (2) * sqrt (2)  =  3.75 * 2  =    7

 

 

cool cool cool
