The area bounded by the curve $y=2x-x^2$ and the straight line $Y = -x $ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{9}{2}$
$y=2x-x^2$
$y=1-(x-1)^2$
Curve 1 = $(y-1)=-(x-1)^2$
Curve 2 = $y=-x$
$y=-x$
so $-x=2x-x^2$
so $x^2=3x$
$x=0,3$ points of intersection
Required area = $\int\limits_0^3\left|(2x-x^2)-(-x)\right|dx$
$=\int\limits_0^33x^2-x^2dx=\left[\frac{3x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^3=\frac{9}{2}$ sq. unit
