    If the area of the region bounded by the curve \[y=8{{x}^{2}}-{{x}^{5}},\]straight line\[x=0\]and\[x=a\]and the\[x-\]axis is\[\frac{16}{3},\]then the value of a is

    A)  \[{{(8-4\sqrt{2})}^{1/3}}\]       

    B)  \[{{(8+\sqrt{2})}^{1/3}}\]

    C)  no value of\[a\]     

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Curve\[y={{x}^{2}}(8-{{x}^{3}}),\]intersect\[x-\]axis at\[x=0\] and\[x=2\]. Here,    \[y>0,0<x<2\] and     \[y<0,\text{ }x>2\] Area bounded by the curve and\[x-\]axis \[=\int_{0}^{2}{(8{{x}^{2}}-{{x}^{5}})}dx=\left[ \frac{8{{x}^{3}}}{3}-\frac{{{x}^{6}}}{6} \right]_{0}^{2}\] \[=\frac{8}{3}.8-\frac{64}{6}=\frac{64}{3}-\frac{32}{3}\] \[=\frac{32}{3}>\frac{16}{3}\] \[\therefore \] \[a<2\] and area\[=\int_{0}^{a}{(8{{x}^{2}}-{{x}^{5}})}dx=\frac{16}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{8{{a}^{3}}}{3}-\frac{{{a}^{6}}}{6}=\frac{16}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[16{{a}^{3}}-{{a}^{6}}=32\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{6}}-16{{a}^{3}}+32=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{3}}=\frac{+16\pm \sqrt{16\times 16-4\times 32}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{3}}=\frac{16\pm 8\sqrt{2}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{3}}=8\pm 4\sqrt{2}\] \[a<2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}^{3}}<8\] \[\therefore \] \[{{a}^{3}}=8-4\sqrt{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a={{(8-4\sqrt{2})}^{1/3}}\]
