If the area of the region bounded by y = ax² (where a > 0), the x-axis, and x = 1 is exactly 1 square unit, what is the value of 'a'?
If the area of the region bounded by y = ax² (where a > 0), the x-axis, and x = 1 is exactly 1 square unit, what is the value of 'a'?
- A. 3
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 1/3
Answer: A) 3
Explanation: Area = ∫(0 to 1) ax² dx = [ax³/3] from 0 to 1 = a/3. Setting a/3 = 1 gives a = 3.
