What is meant by “elastic deformation” of a material?

An elastomer is a polymer that can stretch and contract. In a perfect elastomer, the force opposing extension is proportional to the displacement x from the resting state of the elastomer, so |F| = kfx, where kf is a constant. But suppose that the restoring force weakens as the elastomer is stretched, and kf(x) = a - bx^(1/2). Evaluate the work done on extending the polymer from x = 0 to a final displacement x = l.
