Question:
The area bounded by the curve \(y=\sin x+\cos x\) and the co-ordinate axis in the first quadrant is
Options:
\(\sqrt{2}-1\)
\(\sqrt{2}\)
\(\sqrt{2}+1\)
\(1\)
Correct Answer:
\(\sqrt{2}\)
Explanation:
\(\begin{aligned}\text{Area}&=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos xdx+\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}(\sin x-\cos x)dx\\ &=\sqrt{2}\end{aligned}\)
