NDA2015MathematicsArea Under CurvesActual
The area bounded by the coordinate axes and the curve x + y =1 , is
Options
- A1 square unit
- B1/2 square unit
- C1/3 square unit
- D1/6 square unit
Correct answer
D. 1/6 square unit
Step-by-step solution
Area = ydx = ₀^1(1- x )^2 d x [ curve makes the intercept of 1 on both axes] aligned & = ₀^1(1+x-2 x ) d x & =[x]₀^1+ 1 2 [x^2 ]₀^1- 4 3 [x^ 3 2 ]₀^1 & =1+ 1 2 - 4 3 & = 3 2 - 4 3 = 1 6 sq unit aligned
