The area bounded by the curve y = 2x -x2 and the line x + y = 0 isa)9/...
To find the area bounded by the curve y = 2x - x^2 and the line x = 0, we need to find the points of intersection between the curve and the line.
- Find the points of intersection:
Setting x = 0 in the equation of the curve, we get y = 0. So, the point of intersection is (0, 0).
- Determine the limits of integration:
The curve intersects the x-axis at x = 0 and x = 2. Therefore, the limits of integration will be from x = 0 to x = 2.
- Set up the integral:
The area bounded by the curve and the line is given by the definite integral of the difference between the curve and the line:
A = ∫[0,2] (2x - x^2) dx
- Evaluate the integral:
Integrating the expression, we get:
A = [x^2 - (x^3)/3] from 0 to 2
= [(2)^2 - ((2)^3)/3] - [(0)^2 - ((0)^3)/3]
= [4 - (8/3)] - [0 - 0]
= [12/3 - 8/3]
= 4/3
Therefore, the area bounded by the curve y = 2x - x^2 and the line x = 0 is 4/3 square units.
