Figure Shows The Curve Y=x2.Find The Area Of The Shaded Part...
Options:
A .  216 unit2
B .  72 unit2
C .  12 unit2
D .  None of these
Answer: Option B
:
B
The area can be divided into strips by drawing ordinates between x = 0 and x = 6 at a regular interval of dx. Consider the strip between the ordinates at x and x + dx. The height of this strip is y=x2. The area of this strip is dA = y dx= x2dx.
The total area of the shaded part is obtained by summing up these strip-areas with x varying from 0 to 6. Thus
A=60x2dx
=[x33]60=21603=72
