Answer: The correct option is second, i.e. ,"2 times the integral from 0 to 1 of the quantity x cubed minus 3 times x squared plus 2 times x, dx".

Explanation:

The given equation is,

y=x^3-3x^2+2x

It can be written as,

f(x)=x^3-3x^2+2x

Find the zeros of the equation. Equation the function equal to 0.

0=x^3-3x^2+2x

x(x^2-3x+2)=0

x(x^2-2x-x+2)=0

x(x-2)(x-1)=0

So, the three zeros are 0, 1 and 2.

The graph of the equation is shown below.

From the given graph it is noticed that the enclosed by the curve and x- axis is lies between 0 to 2, but the area from 0 to 1 lies above the x-axis and area from 1 to 2 lies below the x-axis. So the function will be negative from 1 to 2.

The area enclosed by curve and x-axis is,

A=\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx+\int_{1}^{2}[-f(x)]dx

A=\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx-\int_{1}^{2}f(x)dx

From the graph it is noticed that the area from 0 to 1 is symmetric or same as area from 1 to 2. So the total area is the twice of area from 0 to 1.

A=2\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx

A=2\int_{0}^{1}[x^3-3x^2+2x]dx

Therefore, The correct option is "2 times the integral from 0 to 1 of the quantity x cubed minus 3 times x squared plus 2 times x, dx".

Coco buys a very large rectangular chocolate bar and decides that each day, she
olasank [31]
On each of the six days Coco ate a square piece of chocolate with side length 15 cm, 15 cm, 9 cm, 6 cm, 3 cm and 3 cm, respectively. Since we know the originally chocolate bar was a rectangle the 6 squares must fit together as shown. The length of the longer side of the original chocolate bar, then, was 15 + 15 + 9 =39<span> cm</span>

In a fishing competition Johannes and Peter together caught 48 fish.
Alenkasestr [34]

John caught 18 fishes and Peter caught 30 fishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Fishes caught by John = x

Fishes caught by peter  = y

Total fishes caught = 48

According to given statement;

x+y=48    Eqn 1

x=\frac{3}{5}y   Eqn 2

Putting  Eqn 2 in Eqn 1;

\frac{3}{5}y+y=48

Multiplying each term by 5;

5*\frac{3}{5}y+5*y=48*5\\3y+5y=240\\8y=240

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{240}{8}\\y=30

Putting y=30 in Eqn 1

x+30=48\\x=48-30\\x=18

John caught 18 fishes and Peter caught 30 fishes.
