There are (in square units) of the region bounded by the parabola $y=x^2+2$ and the lines $y=x+1, x=0$ and $x=3$ is
  1. $\frac{15}{4}$
  2. $\frac{15}{2}$
  3. $\frac{21}{2}$
  4. $\frac{17}{4}$

Solution

Required area $\begin{aligned} & =\int_0^3\left\{\left(x^2+2\right)-(x+1)\right\} d x \\ & =\left[\frac{x^3}{3}+2 x-\frac{x^2}{2}-x\right]_0^3 \\ & =\left(9+6-\frac{9}{2}-3\right)-0=\frac{15}{2} \end{aligned}$
