Let C1C2 be the graphs of the functions ...

Let `C_1C_2` be the graphs of the functions `y=x^2` and `y=2x ,` respectively, where `0lt=xlt=1.` Let `C_3` be the graph of a function `y=f(x),` where `0lt=xlt=1, f(0) =0.` For a point `P` on `C_1,` let the lines through `P ,` parallel to the axis, meet `C_2` and `C_3` at `Q` and `R ,` respectively (see Figure). If for every position of `P(onC_1),` the areas of the shaded regions `OPQ` and `ORP` are equal, determine the function `f(x)`

Let P be on `C_(1),y=x^(2) be (t,t^(2))`
`therefore" y co-ordinate of Q is also "t^(2)`
`"Now, Q on y =2x where "y=t^(2)`
`therefore" "x=t^(2)//2`
`therefore" "Q((t^(2))/(2),t^(2))`
For point R, x=t and it is on y=f(x)
`therefore" "R(t,f(t))`
Given that,
Area OPQ = Area OPR
`rArr" "int_(0)^(t^(2))(sqrt(y)-(y)/(2))dy=int_(0)^(t)(x^(2)-f(x))dx`
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. t, we get
`(sqrt(t^(2))-(t^(2))/(2))(2t)=t^(2)-f(t)`
`rArr" "f(t)=t^(3)-t^(2)`
`rArr" "f(x)=x^(3)-x^(2)`
