The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Solving $y = \sqrt{x}$ with $2y - x + 3 = 0,$ we have $2 \sqrt{x} - x + 3 = 0 \, \Rightarrow \, ( \sqrt{x} - 3)(\sqrt{x} +1) = 0$
$\therefore \, \, \, x = 1, 9$
Area $ = \int\limits_{0}^{3} \left[\left(2y+3\right)-y^{2}\right]dy$
$ = y^2 + 3y - \frac{y^3}{3}|^3_0$
$ = 9 + 9 - 9 = 9$

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
