Exam questions on Definite integrals and area under a curve

  1. The curve CC has equation y=x2−4x+3y=x^2-4x+3.
    Find the total area bounded by CC, the xx-axis and the lines x=0x=0 and x=4x=4.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=6x−x2y=6x-x^2 and the line ll has equation y=2xy=2x. They meet at the origin OO and at the point PP.
    Find the area of the finite region bounded by CC and ll.2 marks
  3. The curve CC has equation y=x3−6x2+8xy=x^3-6x^2+8x.
    Show that CC crosses the xx-axis at x=0x=0, x=2x=2 and x=4x=4, and find ∫y dx\int y\,\mathrm{d}x.3 marks
