Area Ques 57

Question

  1. Find all maxima and minima of the function $y=x(x-1)^{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 2$.

Also, determine the area bounded by the curve $y=x(x-1)^{2}$, the $Y$-axis and the line $x=2$.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 57.$(y _{\max } = \frac{4}{27} , y _{\min }=0 , \frac{10}{3}$ sq units)

Solution:

Formula:

Area under curves Formula :

  1. Given, $y=x(x-1)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=x \cdot 2(x-1)+(x-1)^{2}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =(x-1) \cdot(2 x+x-1) \\ & =(x-1)(3 x-1) \\ & \quad \quad \frac{+\bullet \quad - \quad \bullet +}{1 / 31 \quad \quad 1} \end{aligned} $

$\therefore \quad$ Maximum at $x=1 / 3$

$ y _{\max }=\frac{1}{3} \quad (-\frac{2}{3})^{2}=\frac{4}{27} $

Minimum at $x=1$

$ y _{\min }=0 $

Now, to find the area bounded by the curve $y=x(x-1)^{2}$, the $Y$-axis and line $x=2$.

$\therefore$ Required area $=$ Area of square $O A B C-\int _{0}^{2} y d x$

$=2 \times 2-\int _{0}^{2} x(x-1)^{2} d x$

$=4-[[\frac{x(x-1)^{3}}{3}]^{2} _0-\frac{1}{3} \int _{0}^{2}(x-1)^{3} \cdot 1 d x]$

$=4-[\frac{x}{3}(x-1)^{3}-{\frac{(x-1)^{4}}{12}}]^{2} _0$

$=4-[\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}]=\frac{10}{3}$ sq units
