It's a delight to do calculations of this question without a calculator :-).....
First let us find the point of intersection of line and curve in third quadrant which is given by: x 3 − x + 1 = x ⟹ x 3 − 2 x + 1 = 0 ⟹ ( x − 1 ) ( x 2 + x − 1 ) = 0 ⟹ x = 2 − 1 − 5 = − ϕ ( ∵ x < 0 ) Area of shaded part is given by:- T = ∫ − ϕ 0 ( x 3 − 2 x + 1 ) d x + ∫ 0 0 . 4 ( − x 3 − 2 x + 1 ) d x = ( 4 x 4 − x 2 + x ) ∣ − ϕ 0 + ( 4 − x 4 − x 2 + x ) ∣ 0 5 2 = ( ϕ 2 − ϕ − 4 ϕ 4 ) + 6 2 5 1 4 6 Putting ϕ = 2 1 + 5 and simplification gives:- T = 5 0 0 0 6 7 9 3 + 8 5 5 ∴ 6 7 9 3 + 5 0 0 0 + 5 + 8 = 1 1 8 0 6
Note:-I have used everywhere the fact that ∣ x 3 ∣ = x 3 when x > 0 and ∣ x 3 ∣ = − x 3 when x < 0 .
