Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\sqrt{17}-13}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\left[-8 x^{2}+6 x-1\right] d x\) \(=\int\limits_{0}^{1 / 4}-1 dx +\int\limits_{1 / 4}^{1 / 2} 0 dx +\int\limits_{1 / 2}^{3 / 4}-1 dx\) \(+\int\limits_{3 / 4}^{\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}}-2 dx +\int\limits_{\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}}^{1}-3 dx\)…
