The area of the region bounded by the line 3x−y+2=03x - y + 2 = 0, the x−axisx-axis and the ordinates x=−1x = -1 and x=1x = 1 is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Here y=3x+2y = 3x+2, which crosses the xx-axis at x=−23x = -\dfrac{2}{3}, so the curve lies below the axis on [−1,−23]\left[-1,-\dfrac{2}{3}\right] and above on [−23,1]\left[-\dfrac{2}{3},1\right].

Area =∣∫−1−2/3(3x+2)dx∣+∫−2/31(3x+2)dx=16+256=133= \left|\int_{-1}^{-2/3}(3x+2)dx\right| + \int_{-2/3}^{1}(3x+2)dx = \dfrac{1}{6} + \dfrac{25}{6} = \dfrac{13}{3} sq. units.
