Answer: A
Solution:
Consider the curves
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
and
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? :
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
into
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Let
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
.
Then
?? 2
= ?? 4
and
?? = ?? + 2.
Substitute into the second curve:
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) .
Simplify the right side:
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? .
Thus, the equation becomes
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) .
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? :
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0.
Thus, either
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8.
For ?? = 0 :
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0.
For ?? 3
= - 8 :
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4.
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) .
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ??
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? .
From the second curve:
?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
From the first curve, solving
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
for ?? gives
?? - 2 = ± v ?? .
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch:
?? = 2 - v ?? .
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is
?? left
= 2 - v ?? ,
and the right boundary is
?? right
= 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is
? ?? = ?? right
- ?? left
= ( 2 -
?? 2
8
) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -
?? 2
8
.
Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 :
?? = ?
0
4
? ( v ?? -
?? 2
8
) ???? .
Step 4. Evaluate the Integral
Write the integral as
?? = ?
0
4
? ?? 1 / 2
???? -
1
8
?
0
4
? ?? 2
???? .
Compute each term:
For the first integral:
? ?? 1 / 2
???? =

?? 3 / 2
.
For the second integral:
? ?? 2
???? =
?? 3

Thus,

Answer: A
Solution:
Consider the curves
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
and
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? :
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
into
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Let
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
.
Then
?? 2
= ?? 4
and
?? = ?? + 2.
Substitute into the second curve:
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) .
Simplify the right side:
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? .
Thus, the equation becomes
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) .
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? :
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0.
Thus, either
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8.
For ?? = 0 :
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0.
For ?? 3
= - 8 :
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4.
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) .
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ??
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? .
From the second curve:
?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
From the first curve, solving
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
for ?? gives
?? - 2 = ± v ?? .
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch:
?? = 2 - v ?? .
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is
?? left
= 2 - v ?? ,
and the right boundary is
?? right
= 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is
? ?? = ?? right
- ?? left
= ( 2 -
?? 2
8
) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -
?? 2
8
.
Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 :
?? = ?

? ( v ?? -

Step 4. Evaluate the Integral
Write the integral as
?? = ?

Compute each term:

For the second integral:

Answer: A
Solution:
Consider the curves
?? = ?? 2
- 4 ?? + 4 = ( ?? - 2 )
2
and
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Notice that the second equation can be rewritten in terms of ?? :
8 ?? = 16 - ?? 2
? ? ? ?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 1. Find the Intersection Points
To find the points where the curves intersect, substitute
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
into
?? 2
= 16 - 8 ?? .
Let
?? = ?? - 2 ? so that ? ?? = ?? 2
.
Then
?? 2
= ?? 4
and
?? = ?? + 2.
Substitute into the second curve:
?? 4
= 16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) .
Simplify the right side:
16 - 8 ( ?? + 2 ) = 16 - 8 ?? - 16 = - 8 ?? .
Thus, the equation becomes
?? 4
+ 8 ?? = 0 ? ? ? ?? ( ?? 4
/ ?? ? * * correctingfactor * * ) .
In fact, factor by taking out a common factor ?? :
?? ( ?? 3
+ 8 ) = 0.
Thus, either
?? = 0 ? or ? ?? 3
= - 8.
For ?? = 0 :
?? = ?? + 2 = 2 , ?? = ?? 2
= 0.
For ?? 3
= - 8 :
?? = - 2 , ? so ? ?? = - 2 + 2 = 0 , ?? = ( - 2 )
2
= 4.
The curves intersect at the points ( 2 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 4 ) .
Step 2. Express the Curves in Terms of ??
It is easier to integrate horizontally by expressing ?? as a function of ?? .
From the second curve:
?? = 2 -
?? 2
8
.
From the first curve, solving
?? = ( ?? - 2 )
2
for ?? gives
?? - 2 = ± v ?? .
Since at the intersection ( 0 , 4 ) the ?? -value is less than 2 , we take the negative branch:
?? = 2 - v ?? .
Thus, for a fixed ?? between 0 and 4 , the left boundary is
?? left
= 2 - v ?? ,
and the right boundary is
?? right
= 2 -
?? 2
8
.
Step 3. Set Up the Integral for the Area
The horizontal distance between the curves at a given ?? is
? ?? = ?? right
- ?? left
= ( 2 -
?? 2
8
) - ( 2 - v ?? ) = v ?? -
?? 2
8
.
Integrate with respect to ?? from ?? = 0 to ?? = 4 :
?? = ?
0
4
? ( v ?? -
?? 2

Step 4. Evaluate the Integral
Write the integral as
?? = ?

? ?? 1 / 2

Compute each term:
For the first integral:

For the second integral:
? ?? 2
???? =

Thus,
