The area of the region enclosed by the curve \(y=x^3\) and its tangent at the point \((-1,-1)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{27}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{19}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{23}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{31}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{27}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

equation of tangent : \(y+1=3(x+1)\) i.e. \(y=3 x+2\) Point of intersection with curve \((2,8)\) So Area \(=\int \limits_{-1}^2\left((3 x+2)-x^3\right) d x=\frac{27}{4}\)
