the answer is 41/12 -2ln2
I think you stuffed up the substitution of 0, instead of 1 you got -1 so hence you ended up with 41/2 - 2ln2

A = Integral of x - x^2 /2 + x^3/3 - ln(1+x) from 0 to 1

= {[x^2 /2 - x^3/6 + x^4/12] - [(1+x)ln(1+x) - (1+x)]} from 0 to 1

= {[1/2 - 1/6 + 1/12)] - [2ln(2) - 2]} - {[0] - [(1ln(1) - 1)]}

= { 5/12 - 2ln(2) + 2 } - {0-[0-1]}

= 29/12 - 2ln(2) - {0--1}

= 29/12 - 2ln(2) - 1

= 17/12 - 2ln(2)

Got to about here, and then PENS DOWN! !#%^!!@%&#!%#@$%! Stupidly wasted too much time fixing up 9b.

I stuffed up part d (the graphs) but still managed to do it. I got something along those lines. Lol 10 e & f is easier compared to other questions.
