The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Vertex of the parabola is a point which lies on the axis of the parabola, which is a line $\bot$ to the directrix through the focus, i.e., $y = 2$ and equidistant from the focus and directrix $x = 0$, so that the vertex is $\left(\frac{3}{2} , 2\right)$ .

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
