Let the area of the region bounded by the curve \( y = \max \{ \sin x, \cos x \} \), lines \( x = 0 \), \( x = 3\pi/2 \), and the x-axis be A. Then, \( A + A^2 \) is equal to :
Show Hint
Always sketch the graphs of $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ together. It makes it visually obvious that the "max" function follows the upper peaks and valleys of the trigonometric waves.
