Let f(x) = 
. Show that area bounded by y = f(x), y = f(c), x = 0 and x = a, 0 < c < a < 
is minimum when c = 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Graph of f (x) = 
Let A be area.
A = 
+ 
= (2c – a) 
= 0 ⇒ c = 
At c = 
, 
changes sign from negative to positive. Hence A is minimum when c =
