Vikas Kapoor answered
To find area between y = x2 – 2x and y = 4 – x2,
We need to find POI.
x2 – 2x = 4 – x2
2x2 - 2x – 4 = 0
x2 – x – 2 = 0
(x-2)(x+1) = 0
x = -1, 2


= [(-2x3)/3 + x2 + 4x]x=2 - [(-2x3)/3 + x2 + 4x]x= -1
= -16/3 + 4 + 8 – (2/3 + 1 - 4)
= 9 sq units

    64/3
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the area bounded by the parabola y^2 = 4x and the line x + y = 3, we need to find the points of intersection between the parabola and the line and then calculate the area between them.

Finding the Points of Intersection:
To find the points of intersection, we can set the equations of the parabola and the line equal to each other and solve for x and y:

y^2 = 4x
x + y = 3

Substituting y = 3 - x into the equation of the parabola, we get:

(3 - x)^2 = 4x

Expanding and rearranging the equation, we get:

9 - 6x + x^2 = 4x
x^2 + 10x - 9 = 0

Now, we can solve this quadratic equation for x using factoring or the quadratic formula. By factoring, we can write it as:

(x + 9)(x - 1) = 0

This gives us two possible values for x: x = -9 and x = 1.

Substituting these values back into the equation of the line, we can find the corresponding y-values:

For x = -9:
y = 3 - (-9) = 3 + 9 = 12

For x = 1:
y = 3 - 1 = 2

So, the points of intersection are (-9, 12) and (1, 2).

Calculating the Area:
To calculate the area bounded by the parabola and the line, we can integrate the difference between the y-values of the parabola and the line over the interval between the x-values of intersection points.

We need to find the integral of (y - (3 - x)) with respect to x, where y is given by the equation of the parabola: y = √(4x).

The integral becomes:

∫[(√(4x) - (3 - x))] dx

Integrating and evaluating this integral from x = -9 to x = 1 gives us the required area:

A = ∫[(√(4x) - (3 - x))] dx (from x = -9 to x = 1)

Simplifying the integral and evaluating it, we get:

A = [(2/3)x^(3/2) + (x^2)/2 - 3x] (from x = -9 to x = 1)
= [2/3 + 1/2 - 3 - ((2/3)(-9)^(3/2) + ((-9)^2)/2 - 3(-9))]

Calculating this expression, we get:

A = [2/3 + 1/2 - 3 - (2/3 - 243/2 + 27)]
= [2/3 + 1/2 - 3 - 2/3 + 243/2 - 27]
= [16/3]

Therefore, the area bounded by the parabola y^2 = 4x and the line x + y = 3 is 16/3.

The area bounded by the curve y2 = x,line y = 4 and y – axis is equal to
  • a)
    7√2
  • b)
    16/3
  • c)
    64/3
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Introduction
To find the area bounded by the curve y² = x, the line y = 4, and the y-axis, we need to first understand the shapes formed by these equations.
Step 1: Understanding the Curves
- The equation y² = x represents a rightward-opening parabola.
- The line y = 4 is a horizontal line.
- The y-axis is the vertical line where x = 0.
Step 2: Finding Intersection Points
- To find the points of intersection between the parabola and the line y = 4, substitute y into the parabola's equation:
- 4² = x → x = 16.
- Thus, the points of intersection are (16, 4) and (0, 0).
Step 3: Setting Up the Area Calculation
- The area can be calculated by integrating the area under the curve from the y-axis to the intersection point along the line y = 4.
- We will integrate the function derived from the parabola, which is x = y².
Step 4: Calculating the Area
- The area can be expressed as:
- Area = ∫ (from y=0 to y=4) (y²) dy.
- Evaluating this integral:
- Area = [y³/3] from 0 to 4
- Area = (4³/3 - 0) = 64/3.
Conclusion
The area bounded by the curve y² = x, the line y = 4, and the y-axis is 64/3. Since the correct answer choice in the question is option 'B', which is 16/3, it appears to be a mistake as the computed area is 64/3. Thus, the area calculation confirms that the answer is indeed 64/3, not 16/3.

Area of the figure bounded by the curve y = logex, the x-axis, and the straight line x = e
The area of the figure bounded by the curve y = logex, the x-axis, and the straight line x = e can be found by integrating the function y = logex with respect to x between the limits x = 1 and x = e.

Integration of y = logex
∫(logex) dx = x(logex - 1) + C

Calculate the area
To find the area of the figure, we need to evaluate the integral of logex between the limits x = 1 and x = e.
Area = [e(loge^e - 1) - 1(loge - 1)]
Area = [e(1) - 1(0) - (0)]
Area = e - 0 - 0 = e
Therefore, the area of the figure bounded by the curve y = logex, the x-axis, and the straight line x = e is 1.

The two curves y2 = 4x and y = x meet where x2 = 4x i.e ..where x = 0 or x = 4 . Moreover , the parabola lies above the line y = x between x = 0 and x = 4 . Hence , the required are is :

Let y be the function which passes through (1 , 2) having slope (2x + 1) . The area bounded between the curve and the x – axis is
  • a)
    1/6 sq. units
  • b)
    6 sq. units

    5/6 sq. units

-axis from x = 1 to x = 5 is:

To find the equation of the function y, we integrate the given slope function:

∫(2x + 1) dx = x^2 + x + C

Using the point (1,2), we can solve for the constant C:

1^2 + 1 + C = 2
C = 0

So the equation of the function y is:

y = x^2 + x

To find the area bounded between the curve and the x-axis from x = 1 to x = 5, we integrate the function y with respect to x:

∫[1,5] (x^2 + x) dx = [1/3 x^3 + 1/2 x^2] [1,5] = (125/3 + 25/2) - (1/3 + 1/2) = 116/3

Therefore, the area bounded between the curve and the x-axis from x = 1 to x = 5 is 116/3 square units.

  • a)

    6√2 sq.units
  • c)
    12√2 sq.units
  • d)
    4√3 sq.units
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Finding the Points of Intersection:
To find the points of intersection of the two parabolas, set them equal to each other:
5x^2 = 9 - 2x^2
7x^2 = 9
x^2 = 9/7
x = ±√(9/7)

Calculating the Area Between the Curves:
Integrate the difference of the two equations between the points of intersection to find the area:
∫(9 - 2x^2) - 5x^2 dx from -√(9/7) to √(9/7)
= ∫(9 - 7x^2) dx from -√(9/7) to √(9/7)
= [9x - (7x^3)/3] from -√(9/7) to √(9/7)

Substitute the Values:
= [9√(9/7) - (7(9/7)^(3/2))/3] - [-9√(9/7) - (7(9/7)^(3/2))/3]
= (27/√7 - 21√7/3) - (-27/√7 - 21√7/3)
= 54/√7

Final Calculation:
To find the area, square the result:
(54/√7)^2 = 2916/7 = 123 sq. units
Therefore, the area bounded by the parabolas y = 5x^2 and y = 9 - 2x^2 is 123 sq. units.

  • a)
    9/2 sq. units
  • b)
    35/6 sq. units
  • c)
    19/6 sq. units

Vijay Bansal answered
The area bounded by the curve y = x^3 and the x-axis can be found by integrating the function from the x-coordinate of the x-intercept to the x-coordinate of the y-intercept.

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0:
0 = x^3
x = 0

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0:
y = 0^3
y = 0

The area bounded by the curve can be found by integrating the function y = x^3 from x = 0 to x = 0:

∫[0,0] x^3 dx

Since the limits of integration are the same, the integral evaluates to zero. Therefore, the area bounded by the curve y = x^3 and the x-axis is 0.

Area of the region bounded by the curves y = ex, x = a , x = b and the x- axis is given by
  • a)
    eb−ea
  • b)
    eb−a
  • c)
    eb+ea
  • d)
    none of these

Nisha Sen answered
To find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = ex, x = a, x = b, and the x-axis, we can use integration.

Step 1: Determine the limits of integration
The region is bounded by the vertical lines x = a and x = b, so the limits of integration for x will be from a to b.

Step 2: Set up the integral
The area of the region can be found by integrating the function y = ex with respect to x over the given limits of integration.

The integral for the area is given by:
∫(ex) dx from a to b

Step 3: Evaluate the integral
Integrating the function ex with respect to x gives us ex.

So, the integral becomes:
∫(ex) dx = ex

Evaluating this integral from a to b gives us:
ex evaluated from a to b = eb - ea

Step 4: Subtracting the areas below the x-axis
Since the region is bounded by the x-axis, we need to consider the areas below the x-axis as negative.

If there are any values of x within the interval (a, b) where ex is negative, we need to subtract the absolute value of the integral of ex in that range. However, since the function ex is always positive, we don't need to consider this step.

Step 5: Finalize the answer
The area of the region bounded by the curves y = ex, x = a, x = b, and the x-axis is given by:
Area = eb - ea

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) eb - ea.

The area bounded by the curves y = √x , 2y+3 = x and the x – axis in the first quadrant is
  • a)
    9
  • b)
    18
  • c)
    36
  • d)
    none of these

Given curves:
- y = x
- 2y + 3 = x

Finding intersection points:
1. Substitute y = x into the second equation:
2( x ) + 3 = x
2x + 3 = x
x = -3
2. Substitute x = -3 into y = x:
y = -3

Intersection points:
(-3, -3)

Area calculation:
1. The area between the curves can be calculated by finding the area under the curves between the points of intersection.
2. The vertical strip of the area can be expressed as:
A = ∫[x1, x2] (f(x) - g(x)) dx
= ∫[-3, 0] (x - (2x + 3)) dx
= ∫[-3, 0] (x - 2x - 3) dx
