The parabola y = a x² + b x + c passes through (1, 2) and the tangent to it at the origin is the line y = x. Find the area enclosed between the curve, the tangent line, and the vertical line through the minimum point of the curve.

  1. 1/24
  2. 1/12
  3. 1/8
  4. 1/6

Correct answer: 1/24

Solution

The curve is y = x² + x with minimum at x = -1/2; between x = -1/2 and 0 the gap to the tangent y = x is x², whose integral is 1/24.
