Area Question 46

Question 46

  1. Find all maxima and minima of the function y=x(x1)2,0x2.

Also, determine the area bounded by the curve y=x(x1)2, the Y-axis and the line x=2.

(1989,5M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Given, y=x(x1)2

dydx=x2(x1)+(x1)2

=(x1)(2x+x1) =(x1)(3x1) ++1/31

Maximum at x=1/3

ymax=13232=427

Minimum at x=1

ymin=0

Now, to find the area bounded by the curve y=x(x1)2, the Y-axis and line x=2.

Required area = Area of square OABC02ydx

=2×202x(x1)2dx

=4x(x1)331302(x1)31dx

=4x3(x1)3(x1)4122

=423112+112=103 sq units
