Q.

Let A be the area bounded by the curve y=x|x-3|, the x-axis and the ordinates x=-1 and x=2. Then 12A is equal to _____.          [2023]


 


Ans.

(62)

y=x|x-3|=x(3-x),    when -1x2

Required area,  A=|-10(3x-x2)dx|+02(3x-x2)dx

=|[3x22-x33]-10|+[3x22-x33]02

=(32+13)+(122-83)

=116+103

Now 12A=12(116+103)=22+40=62
