The area (in sq. units) bounded by the curve y = x 2 + 2 x + 1 and the tangent to it at ( 1 , 4 ) and the Y -axis is
Options
- A1 3 sq. units
- B2 3 sq. units
- C1 sq. units
- D7 3 sq. units
Correct answer
A. 1 3 sq. units
Step-by-step solution
The equation is given as, y = x 2 + 2 x + 1 Differentiate the above equation with respect to x , d y d x = 2 x + 2 At ( 1 , 4 ) d y d x = 2 1 + 2 = 4 The figure below represents the area bounded. The bounded area is, A = ∫ 0 1 y d x - 1 2 ( O A × A P ) ⇒ A = ∫ 0 1 x 2 + 2 x + 1 d x - 1 2 1 × 4 ⇒ A = x 3 3 + x 2 + x 0 1 - 2 ⇒ A = 1 3 + 1 2 + 1 - 0 - 2 ⇒ A = 1 3 sq. units
