When a rubber band is stretched by a distance $x$,it exerts a restoring force of magnitude $F = ax + bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. The work done in stretching the unstretched rubber band by $L$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}(aL^2 + bL^3)$
  • B
    $\frac{aL^2}{2} + \frac{bL^3}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{aL^2}{2} + \frac{bL^3}{3})$
  • D
    $aL^2 + bL^3$
