Correct answer: A

  1. Find the points of intersection

The curves are y=1+3x−2x2y=1+3x-2x^2y=1+3x−2x2 and y=1x.y=\frac{1}{x}.y=x1​.

At intersection, 1+3x−2x2=1x,x≠0.1+3x-2x^2=\frac{1}{x}, \quad x\neq 0.1+3x−2x2=x1​,x=0.

Multiplying by xxx: x+3x2−2x3=1x+3x^2-2x^3=1x+3x2−2x3=1 2x3−3x2−x+1=0.2x^3-3x^2-x+1=0.2x3−3x2−x+1=0.

Since one intersection is given as (12,2)\left(\frac12,2\right)(21​,2), x=12x=\frac12x=21​ is a root. So factorize: 2x3−3x2−x+1=(2x−1)(x2−x−1).2x^3-3x^2-x+1=(2x-1)(x^2-x-1).2x3−3x2−x+1=(2x−1)(x2−x−1).

Thus the other roots are from x2−x−1=0,x^2-x-1=0,x2−x−1=0, so x=1±52.x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt5}{2}.x=21±5​​.

Hence the three intersection xxx-values are 1−52,12,1+52.\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2},\quad \frac12,\quad \frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}.21−5​​,21​,21+5​​.

The enclosed finite region is between the positive intersections x=12andx=1+52,x=\frac12 \quad \text{and} \quad x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2},x=21​andx=21+5​​, because the left root is negative and does not form the bounded region with the positive branch relevant here.


  1. Determine which curve is above the other

Take a test point, say x=1x=1x=1: 1+3(1)−2(1)2=2,11=1.1+3(1)-2(1)^2=2, \qquad \frac11=1.1+3(1)−2(1)2=2,11​=1. So on [12,1+52]\left[\frac12,\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}\right][21​,21+5​​], the parabola is above the hyperbola.

Therefore area is A=∫1/2(1+5)/2(1+3x−2x2−1x)dx.A=\int_{1/2}^{(1+\sqrt5)/2}\left(1+3x-2x^2-\frac1x\right)dx.A=∫1/2(1+5​)/2​(1+3x−2x2−x1​)dx.


  1. Integrate
= x+\frac{3x^2}{2}-\frac{2x^3}{3}-\ln x.$$ So $$A=\left[x+\frac{3x^2}{2}-\frac{2x^3}{3}-\ln x\right]_{1/2}^{(1+\sqrt5)/2}.$$ Let $$\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}.$$ Then $$\alpha^2=\alpha+1, \qquad \alpha^3=\alpha\alpha^2=\alpha(\alpha+1)=2\alpha+1.$$ Hence $$\alpha+\frac{3\alpha^2}{2}-\frac{2\alpha^3}{3} =\alpha+\frac{3(\alpha+1)}{2}-\frac{2(2\alpha+1)}{3}.$$ Taking LCM $6$, $$=\frac{6\alpha+9\alpha+9-8\alpha-4}{6} =\frac{7\alpha+5}{6}.$$ Since $$\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2},$$ we get $$\frac{7\alpha+5}{6}= rac{7(1+\sqrt5)+10}{12}= rac{17+7\sqrt5}{12}.$$ Also, $$\ln\alpha=\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}\right).$$ So at $x=\alpha$, $$F(\alpha)=\frac{17+7\sqrt5}{12}-\ln\left(\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}\right).$$ Now at $x=\frac12$, $$F\left(\frac12\right)=\frac12+\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac14-\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac18-\ln\frac12.$$ That is, $$F\left(\frac12\right)=\frac12+\frac38-\frac1{12}+\ln2 =\frac{6+ ?}{?}$$ Compute carefully: $$\frac12=\frac{6}{12},\quad \frac38=\frac{9}{24}=\frac{18}{48},$$ better use denominator $24$: $$\frac12=\frac{12}{24},\quad \frac38=\frac{9}{24},\quad \frac1{12}=\frac{2}{24}.$$ Therefore $$\frac12+\frac38-\frac1{12}=\frac{12+9-2}{24}=\frac{19}{24}.$$ And since $-\ln\frac12=\ln2$, $$F\left(\frac12\right)=\frac{19}{24}+\ln2.$$ Thus $$A=\left(\frac{17+7\sqrt5}{12}-\ln\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{19}{24}+\ln2\right).$$ Simplify the logarithms: $$-\ln\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}-\ln2=-\ln(1+\sqrt5).$$ And the constant part: $$\frac{17+7\sqrt5}{12}-\frac{19}{24} =\frac{34+14\sqrt5-19}{24} =\frac{15+14\sqrt5}{24}.$$ So $$A=\frac{1}{24}(14\sqrt5+15)-\ln(1+\sqrt5).$$ Comparing with $$\frac{1}{24}(l\sqrt5+m)-n\log_e(1+\sqrt5),$$ we get $$l=14,\quad m=15,\quad n=1.$$ Therefore, $$l+m+n=14+15+1=30.$$ --- 4. **Check with options** Option A is $30$.
