ASSIGNMENT 1
Fall 2021
SET: 2

Please write your Name, ID and Section on the first page of the
assignment answer script - Solution must be hand-written, no
LATEX(or similar mediums) submission is allowed. Submission form
will close on November 1 at 4 PM. Solve all problems.

You can only submit a PDF file - image or doc files won’t be accepted.
Before submitting the PDF, please rename the PDF file in the format -
ID_SECTION.

Your Mathematica solutions must have cell numbers and in-

put cell numbers must match with output cell numbers. Otherwise
20 marks will be deducted.

Answer the questions by yourself. Plagiarism will lead to an F grade in the

course. Total marks is "250".It will be converted to 25.

6. Do the following tasks using Mathematica.

f (x) = x3 − 2x2
g(x) = 2x2 − 3x

(a) Plot the above functions in a single graph for −2 ≤ x ≤ 4.

(b) Find limits of the integration for the area of the region enclosed by f (x)
and g(x) for −2 ≤ x ≤ 4.
Hint: Solve equations to find the intersections.

(c) Finally, do the integration to find the area.
