The function f(x)f(x) is increasing and f(0)=0f(0)=0.

The positive constants aa and bb are such that a<ba<b.

The area of the region enclosed by the curve y=f(x)y=f(x), the xx-axis and the lines x=ax=a and x=bx=b is denoted by RR.

The function g(x)g(x) is defined by g(x)=f(x)+2f(b)g(x)=f(x)+2f(b).

Which of the following is an expression for the area enclosed by the curve y=g(x)y=g(x), the xx-axis and the lines x=ax=a and x=bx=b?

AR+(b−a)f(b)R+(b-a)f(b)
BR+2(b−a)f(b)R+2(b-a)f(b)
CR+2f(b)−f(a)R+2f(b)-f(a)
DR+2f(b)R+2f(b)
ER+(f(b))2R+(f(b))^2
FR+(f(b))2−(f(a))2R+(f(b))^2-(f(a))^2
GR+2(f(b)−f(a))f(b)R+2(f(b)-f(a))f(b)
