Question:

The area bounded by the curve $t=x|x|, $ x-axis and the ordinates $x=-1 $ and $ x=1 $ is given by :

Options:

0

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{4}{3}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

By symmetry

area of region I = area of region II

= 2 × area of region II

$=2×\int\limits_0^1x^2dx$

$=2×\left[\frac{x^2}{3}\right]_0^1$

$=\frac{2}{3}$ sq. units
