The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Required area
$=\int_{0}^{2}(2 x+3)-\left(x^{2}+3\right) d x$

$=\int_{0}^{2}\left(2 x-x^{2}\right) d x$
$=\left[\frac{2 x^{2}}{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{2}$
$=\left[4-\frac{8}{3}\right]=\frac{4}{3}$ sq units

Applications of Integrals

There are distinct applications of integrals, out of which some are as follows:

In Maths

Integrals are used to find:

  • The center of mass (centroid) of an area having curved sides
  • The area between two curves and the area under a curve
  • The curve's average value

In Physics

Integrals are used to find:

  • Centre of gravity
  • Mass and momentum of inertia of vehicles, satellites, and a tower
  • The center of mass
  • The velocity and the trajectory of a satellite at the time of placing it in orbit
  • Thrust
