${\begin{aligned}&\color {red}\mathbf {y={\frac {1}{x}}} &\color {green}\mathbf {y=x} \\&\color {blue}\mathbf {y={\frac {1}{4}}x} \\&x>0\\\end{aligned}}$

$\int _{0}^{1}\left(x-{\frac {1}{4}}x\right)dx+\int _{1}^{2}\left({\frac {1}{x}}-{\frac {1}{4}}x\right)dx=\int _{0}^{1}\left({\frac {3}{4}}x\right)dx+\int _{1}^{2}\left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)dx-\int _{1}^{2}\left({\frac {1}{4}}x\right)dx=$
