Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{21}{2}\) sq. units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} \text { Required area } & =\int_0^3\left(x^2+2-\dot{x}\right) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\left[\frac{x^3}{3}+2 x-\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^3 \\ & =9+6-\frac{9}{2}-0 \\ & =\frac{21}{2} \text { sq. unit }\end{aligned}\)
