The area of the region R using a line integral.

Given: R: triangle bounded by the graphs of x = 0 , 3 x - 2 y = 0 , and x + 2 y = 8

2 C�
A= xdy - ydx
From Theorem 15.9, the area of R is given by
d n
u = nu n -1
du

u n +1

u n du =
n +1
+C

The triangle is composed of three line segments C1, C2 and C3, as shown below.

y= x dy = dx
For the path C1: 2 , it implies that 2 , 0 �x �2 .

x 1
y =4- dy = - dx
For the path C2: 2 , it implies that 2 , 2 �x �0 .

For the path C3: x = 0 , it implies that dx = 0 .


Now,
