The correct Answer is:
To find the area enclosed between the curves \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = x^3 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection To find the points where the curves intersect, we set the equations equal to each other: \[ x^2 = x^3 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^3 - x^2 = 0 \] Factoring out \( x^2 \): \[ x^2(x - 1) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions: \[ x^2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 0 \] \[ x - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 1 \] Thus, the points of intersection are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \). ### Step 2: Set up the integral for the area The area \( A \) between the curves from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \) can be found using the integral: \[ A = \int_{0}^{1} (x^2 - x^3) \, dx \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the integral Now we compute the integral: \[ A = \int_{0}^{1} (x^2 - x^3) \, dx = \int_{0}^{1} x^2 \, dx - \int_{0}^{1} x^3 \, dx \] Calculating each integral separately: 1. For \( \int x^2 \, dx \): \[ \int x^2 \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3} \Big|_{0}^{1} = \frac{1^3}{3} - \frac{0^3}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \] 2. For \( \int x^3 \, dx \): \[ \int x^3 \, dx = \frac{x^4}{4} \Big|_{0}^{1} = \frac{1^4}{4} - \frac{0^4}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \] Now substituting back into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12: \[ A = \frac{4}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the area enclosed by the curves \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = x^3 \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{12}} \]
