Putnam 1993 A1

  • Session A

The horizontal line y=cy=c intersects the curve y=2x−3x3y = 2x - 3x^3 in the first quadrant as in the figure. Find cc so that the areas of the two shaded regions are equal. [Figure not included. The first region is bounded by the yy-axis, the line y=cy=c and the curve; the other lies under the curve and above the line y=cy=c between their two points of intersection.]
