Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{15}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} \text { Required area } & =\int_0^3\left(x^2+2\right)-(x+1) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\int_0^3\left(x^2-x+1\right) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^2}{2}+x\right]_0^3=\frac{15}{2} \text { sq. units }\end{aligned}\)
