Integrate the function using the power rule to find

$F(x)$ . Then to solve for the area between the curve and the axis, use the Definite Integral formula.

Definite Integral Formula

$\int_{\color{#00880A}{a}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{b}} f(x) dx=\left[F(x)\right]_{\color{#00880A}{a}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{b}}=F(\color{#9a00c7}{b})-F(\color{#00880A}{a})$

First, simplify the polynomial.

$y$	$=$	$x(x-1)(x-3)$
	$=$	$x(x^2-4x+3)$
$y$	$=$	$x^3-4x^2+3x$

Identify the curve that the area is under and its bounds.

$A$	$=$	$A_1$ $+$ $A_2$	Divide the area into two
$A$	$=$	$\int_{\color{#00880A}{0}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{1}} (x^3-4x^2+3x) dx + \int_{\color{#00880A}{1}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{3}} (x^3-4x^2+3x) dx$	The bounds are $x=0$ and $x=3$

Find the Indefinite Integral using the Power Rule

$\int (x^3-4x^2+3x) dx$	$=$	$(x^(3+1))/(3+1) – 4((x^(2+1))/(2+1)) + 3((x^(1+1))/(1+1))$	Apply Power Rule

	$=$	$(x^4)/4 – 4((x^3)/3) + (3(x^2)/2)$	Simplify

	$=$	$(x^4)/4 – 4/3x^3 + 3/2 x^2$

Calculate

$A_1$ using the Definite Integral

$A_1$	$=$	$\int_{\color{#00880A}{0}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{1}} \left(\frac{x^4}{4} – \frac{4}{3}x^3 + \frac{3}{2} x^2 \right) dx$

	$=$	$\left[\frac {x^4}{4} – \frac {4x^3}{3} + \frac {3x^2}{2} \right]_{\color{#00880A}{0}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{1}}$

	$=$	$[(\color{#9a00c7}{1}^4)/4 – (4(\color{#9a00c7}{1}^3))/3 + (3(\color{#9a00c7}{1}^2))/2] – [(\color{#00880A}{0}^4)/4 – (4(\color{#00880A}{0}^3))/3 + (3(\color{#00880A}{0}^2))/2]$	Substitute the upper and lower limits

	$=$	$[1/4 – 4/3 + 3/2] – [0+0+0]$	Simplify

$A_1$	$=$	$5/12$

Calculate

$A_2$ using the Definite Integral

$A_2$	$=$	$\int_{\color{#00880A}{1}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{3}} \left(\frac{x^4}{4} – \frac{4}{3}x^3 + \frac{3}{2} x^2 \right) dx$

	$=$	$\left[\frac {x^4}{4} – \frac {4x^3}{3} + \frac {3x^2}{2} \right]_{\color{#00880A}{1}}^{\color{#9a00c7}{3}}$

	$=$	$[(\color{#9a00c7}{3}^4)/4 – (4(\color{#9a00c7}{3}^3))/3 + (3(\color{#9a00c7}{3}^2))/2] – [(\color{#00880A}{1}^4)/4 – (4(\color{#00880A}{1}^3))/3 + (3(\color{#00880A}{1}^2))/2]$	Substitute the upper and lower limits

	$=$	$[81/4 – (4(27))/3 + (3(9))/2] – [1/4 – 4/3 + 3/2]$	Simplify

	$=$	$[81/4 – 108/3 + 27/2] – [5/12]$

	$=$	$-8/3$

$A_2$	$=$	$8/3$	Use the absolute value for the area

Add the two areas.

$A$	$=$	$A_1$ $+$ $A_2$
	$=$	$5/12$ $+$ $8/3$	Substitute calculated values

$A$	$=$	$37/12$

$37/12 \text(square units)$
