Paragraph: Let f(x)= |x^2-x-2 | Question: What is ₀^2 f(x) d x equal to?
Options
- A0
- B1
- C5 3
- D10 3
Correct answer
D. 10 3
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Given f(x)= |x^2-x-2 | & array l x^2-x-2 ; x (- ,-1] [2, ) - (x^2-x-2 ) ; x [-1,2] array . aligned Let aligned I & = ₀^2 f(x)=- ₀^2 (x^2-x-2 ) d x=- [ x^3 3 - x^2 2 -2 x ]₀^2 & =- ( 8 3 - 4 2 -4 )+0 & =- ( 8-18 3 )= 10 3 aligned
