The given curve is y= x 3 and the ordinates are x=−2 and x=1. The area bounded by the given curve is represented by shaded region.
The required area of the region is,
Required area=| ∫ −2 0 ydx |+| ∫ 0 1 ydx | =| ∫ −2 0 x 3 dx |+| ∫ 0 1 x 3 dx | =| [ x 4 4 ] −2 0 |+| [ x 4 4 ] 0 1 | =| − ( −2 ) 4 4 |+| ( 1 ) 4 4 |
Further solve,
Required area=( 4+ 1 4 ) = 17 4 sq.units
Thus, option (D) is correct.
