The area (in square units) bounded by the curves y=x, 2y-x+3=0, X-axis and lying in the first quadrant is

  1. 18 sq. units
  2. 274 sq. units
  3. 9 sq. units
  4. 36 sq. units

Solution


First draw the given curves and represent the required area.

Eliminate x to find point of intersection of y=x and 2y-x+3=0

2y-y2+3=0

y2-2y-3=0

y-3y+1=0

y=3,-1
Required area A=09xdx-12×6×3

A=x3232 09-9

A=-9

Hence, area is 9 sq. units
