The slope of tangent to a curve y = f(x) at (x, f(x)) is 2x + 1. If the curve passes through the point (1, 2), then the area bounded by the curve, x - axis and line x = 1 is : |
\(\frac{5}{6}\) \(\frac{6}{5}\) \(\frac{1}{6}\) 6 |
\(\frac{5}{6}\) |
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x + 1\) ⇒ ∫dy = ∫(2x + 1) dx y = x2 + x + c It passes through (1,2) ⇒ c = 0, then curve is y = x2 + x The area bounded by y = x2 + x, x - axis and line x = 1 is : \(\int_{0}^{1} [x^2 + x] dx = \frac{5}{6}\) |
