Area Question 38

Question 38

  1. Missing or unrecognized delimiter for \left, where 0x1.

Determine the area of the region bounded by the curves y=f(x),X-axis, x=0 and x=1.

(1997,5 M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. We can draw the graph of y=x2,y=(1x2) and y=2x(1x) in following figure

Now, to get the point of intersection of y=x2 and y=2x(1x), we get

x2=2x(1x) 3x2=2x x(3x2)=0 x=0,2/3

Similarly, we can find the coordinate of the points of intersection of

y=(1x2) and y=2x(1x) are x=1/3 and x=1

From the figure, it is clear that,

(1x)2, if 0x1/3 f(x)=2x(1x), if 1/3x2/3 x2, if 2/3x1

The required area

A=01f(x)dx =01/3(1x)2dx+1/32/32x(1x)dx+2/31x2dx =13(1x)3+x22x332/3+13x3 =13233+13+23223233132+23133 +13(1)13233

=1981+1381+1981=1727 sq unit
