If the area (in sq.units)of bounded region enclosed between curves y=x−bx2 and y=x2b is maximum, then the possible positive value of b is
Open in App
Solution
For b>0, the bounded region shown in the figure :
So, A=b/(1+b2)∫0[x−bx2−x2b]dx=[x22−(b+1b)x33]b/(1+b2)0A=b26(1+b2)2 ⇒dAdb=b(1−b2)3(1+b2)3=0, gives b=−1,0,1
and at b=1,A is maximum.
