Question

The graphs of $y = 6 - x$ and $y = 1.5 x^{2} - 2.5 x + 3$ intersect at $(2, 4)$ and $(- 1, 7)$ , as shown in the following diagrams.

In diagram 1, the region enclosed by the lines $y = 6 - x$ , $x = - 1$ , $x = 2$ and the $x$ -axis has been shaded.

In diagram 2, the region enclosed by the curve $y = 1.5 x^{2} - 2.5 x + 3$ , and the lines $x = - 1$ , $x = 2$ and the $x$ -axis has been shaded.

Calculate the area of the shaded region in diagram 1.

Examiners report

There were a variety of methods used or attempted – area of trapezoid, integration, area of triangle plus area of rectangle, area of large rectangle minus area of top triangle, trapezoidal rule. All these methods, except for trapezoidal rule, proved successful for candidates, with the most common being the use of integration.

This was reasonably well done except for a few notation issues such as not including dx with their integrand. Those who attempted integration manually were not successful.

b.i.

[N/A]

b.ii.

Recognition that areas had to be subtracted was very evident.
