Area of the region bounded by the curve y=cos⁡xy = \cos x and x−axisx-axis between x=0x = 0 and x=πx = \pi is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

cos⁡x\cos x is positive on (0,π2)(0,\frac{\pi}{2}) and negative on (π2,π)(\frac{\pi}{2},\pi), so areas must be added in magnitude: ∫0π/2cos⁡x dx+∣∫π/2πcos⁡x dx∣=1+1=2\int_0^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx + \left|\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}\cos x\,dx\right| = 1 + 1 = 2 square units.
