Question

Let f ( x ) = x 2 x , for x R . The following diagram shows part of the graph of f .

N17/5/MATME/SP1/ENG/TZ0/08

The graph of f crosses the x -axis at the origin and at the point P ( 1 ,   0 ) .

The line L intersects the graph of f at another point Q, as shown in the following diagram.

N17/5/MATME/SP1/ENG/TZ0/08.c.d

Find the area of the region enclosed by the graph of f and the line L .

Markscheme

valid approach     (M1)

eg L f ,   1 1 ( 1 x 2 ) d x , splitting area into triangles and integrals

correct integration     (A1)(A1)

eg [ x x 3 3 ] 1 1 ,   x 3 3 x 2 2 + x 2 2 + x

substituting their limits into their integrated function and subtracting (in any order)     (M1)

eg 1 1 3 ( 1 1 3 )

 

Note:     Award M0 for substituting into original or differentiated function.

 

area = 4 3     A2     N3
