Answer

Matches $(a)$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x)= 2-\frac{x}{2}, \ g(x)=2-\sqrt {x}$$ To determine the area between the curves $f(x)= 2-\frac{x}{2}, \ g(x)=2-\sqrt {x}$ frist we get the intersection points, by solving the following equations $y= 2-\frac{x}{2}, \ y=2-\sqrt {x}$ we get $(0,2),(4,0)$ So, \begin{align} A&=\int_ 0^4 (2-\frac{x}{2}-(2-\sqrt {x})) \ dx \\ &=\left[ -\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{2x^\frac{3}{2}}{3}\right]_0^3\\ &=\frac{4}{3}\approx 1 \end{align}
