Calculus integration problem. [HW help]

Question

Can someone please help me solve the following calculus problem for my homework?

It is probably just a cute way of saying $\int x^2 dx $ or $\int 2x dx$ — Prahlad Vaidyanathan, Nov 18 '13 at 16:41
@Prahlad: I’d interpret as $\int x^2,dx$, but I’d also explain that I was doing so, interpreting juxtaposition as product the product orange segment with orange segment rather than as two orange segments. — Brian M. Scott, Nov 18 '13 at 16:44
So the answer is the top thirds of three mandarin orange segments plus a coconut? — Jyrki Lahtonen, Nov 18 '13 at 17:15

Hint: Let $x$ be "orange segment".

Looking at the symbolism the only possible solutions is$$\int x.x dx=?$$ $$\int x^2dx=\frac{x^3}{3}=\frac{x.x.x}{1+1+1}$$
