Area bounded by the lines $y=x, x=-1, x=2$ and the $X$-axis is
- $\frac{1}{2}$ sq. units
- $\frac{3}{2}$ sq. units
- $\frac{5}{2}$ sq. units
- $\frac{7}{4}$ sq. units
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & A=\int_{-1}^0 x d x+\int_0^2 x d x \\ & =\left|\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{-1}^0\right|+\left|\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^2\right|=\frac{1}{2}+2=\frac{5}{2}\end{aligned}$Asked in: MHT CET 2021 (23 Sep Shift 1)
