Options
- A32 3
- B16
- C32
- D21 1 3
Correct answer
A. 32 3
Step-by-step solution
The area bounded by y = 4x - x^2 and the X-axis is determined by finding the points of intersection. Setting y = 0 yields 4x - x^2 = 0 or x(4 - x) = 0 , so x = 0 and x = 4 serve as the limits of integration. Between these limits, the parabola is above the X-axis since y is positive. The area is thus given by the definite integral ₀⁴ (4x - x^2) dx . Evaluating the integral: [ 2x^2 - x^3 3 ]₀⁴ = (32 - 64 3 ) - 0 = 32 3 . This matches option A. Answer: A
