The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{dx}{\left[ax+b\left(1-x\right)\right]^{2}}= \int\limits_{0}^{^1}\left[b+\left(a-b\right)x\right]^{-2} dx$ $=\left|\frac{b+\left(a-b\right)x^{-1}}{-\left(a-b\right)}\right|_{0}^{1} $ $=-\frac{1}{a-b} \left([b+\left(a-b\right)\right]^{-1}-\left[b\right]^{-1}])$ $=-\frac{1}{a-b}\left[\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right]$ $=-\frac{1}{a-b}\cdot \frac{b-a}{ab}=\frac{1}{ab}$

Integral

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.

  • The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
  • The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
  • An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.

Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.

F'(x) = f(x)

For every value of x = I.

Types of Integrals:

Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:

  1. The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
  2. The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
