Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric representation of an integral is the area below the curve. So, let's graphic the function.
[tex]f(x) = 3[/tex] is an horizontal line, (y = 3)
and [tex]f(x) = 6-x[/tex] is also a line, but it is decreasing.
We can see in the image that the area below the curve happens to be a polygon. In order to calculate the area we are going to separate it into simpler polygons: a square and a triangle.
The area of the square is [tex]3*3 = 9[/tex].
The area of the triangle is [tex]\frac{3*3}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5[/tex]
If we add them, we get
[tex]\int_0^6 f(x) dx =9 + 4.5 = 13.5[/tex]
