Suppose a curve is described by x=f(y)x = f(y), where f(y)≥0f(y) \ge 0 for a≤y≤ba \le y \le b. Which of the following expressions represents the area of the region bounded by the curve and the yy-axis? a) ∫abf(y) dx\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} f(y)\,dx b) ∫abf(y) dy\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} f(y)\,dy c) ∫f(a)f(b)y dx\displaystyle \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)} y\,dx d) 12∫abf(y) dy\displaystyle \tfrac12\int_{a}^{b} f(y)\,dy
