WBJEE · Maths · Area Under Curves

If \(f(x)=x^{2 / 3}, x \geq 0 .\) Then, the area of the region enclosed by the curve \(y=f(x)\) and the three lines \(y=x, x=1\) and \(x=8\) is

  1. A \(\frac{63}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{93}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{105}{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{129}{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{129}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=x^{2 / 3}, x \geq 0\) and line \(y=x\) \(\therefore\) Required area \(A=\int_{x=1}^{8}\left(x-x^{2 / 3}\right) d x\) \(=\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{3}{5} x^{5 / 3}\right]_{1}^{9}=\left(32-\frac{3}{5} \times 32\right)-\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{5}\right)\)…
