W e h a v e , f ( x ) = m a x { x 2 , ( 1 − x ) 2 , 2 x ( 1 − x ) }
Considering only the above max region. So, f(x) can be written as,
f ( x ) = ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ ( 1 − x ) 2 , f o r 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 1 2 x ( 1 − x ) , f o r 3 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 2 x 2 , f o r 3 2 ≤ x ≤ 1 ⎭ ⎬ ⎫
∴ A r e a B o u n d e d = ∫ 0 3 1 ( 1 − x ) 2 d x + ∫ 3 1 3 2 2 x ( 1 − x ) d x + ∫ 3 2 1 ( x 2 ) d x
