If $\int_{1}^{k}\left(3 x^{2}+2 x+1\right) d x=11$, then $\mathrm{k}=$

If $\int_{1}^{k}\left(3 x^{2}+2 x+1\right) d x=11$, then $\mathrm{k}=$
  1. $\frac{1}{2}$
  2. $-2$
  3. $-\frac{1}{2}$
  4. 2

Solution

We have $\left[3\left(\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right)+2\left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)+x\right]_{1}^{k}=11$ $\therefore\left[x^{3}+x^{2}+x\right]_{1}^{k}=11$ $\left(k^{3}+k^{2}+k\right)-(1+1+1)=11 \quad \Rightarrow k^{3}+k^{2}+k=14$ $\therefore \mathrm{k}\left(\mathrm{k}^{2}+\mathrm{k}+1\right)=2 \times 7 \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=2$
