Question 1.
Find the area under the following given curves and given lines:
(i) y = x2, x = 1, x = 2 and x-axis.
(ii) y = x4, x = 1, x = 5 and x-axis.
Solution:
(i) Graphs of parabola y = x2, lines x = 1, x = 2 and x-axis are shown in the figure.
The area of region bounded by y = x2, x = 1, x = 2 and x-axis.
= Area of region PLMQP

(ii) The curve y = x4 passes through (0, 0) and it is symmetric about y-axis for all x ∈ R.

∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 4x3.
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 at x = 0.
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) changes sign from – ve to + ve as x increases through x = 0
∴ y is minimum at x = 0.
When x > 0, y is the increasing function.
Graph is as shown in the figure.
Area of region bounded by

Question 2.
Find the area between the curves y = x and y = x2.
Solution:
Given curves are
y = x …………… (1)
y = x2 ……………… (2)
Putting y = x in eq.(2), we get
x = x2
∴ x = 0, 1
When x = 1, y = 1

These curves intersect at (0, 0) and (1, 1).
∴ Area between y = x
and y = x2
= Area of the region OCPQ

= Area of the region = LPQML
= Area OQMO – Area OPLO

Question 4.
Sketch the graph of y = |x + 3| and evaluate \(\int_{6}^{0}\) |x + 3| dx.
Solution:
y = |x + 3|
At x = – 3, y = 0
AQ is the line y = x + 3.
When x + 3 < 0,
y = -(x + 3)
= – x – 3

Graph of the line is AP.
∴ Graph of y = |x + 3| is as shown in the figure.

Question 5.
Find the area bounded by the curve y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2Ï€.
Solution:
Some points on the sine graph are:

Plotting these points, we get the graph OPAQB.
Since sin(2Ï€ – x) = – sin x, therefore
graph between x = π and x = 2π has the same shape but it is below the x-axis.
Area of the region OPA = Area of the region AQB.
∴ Area bounded by the curve y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π.
= 2 × Area of the region OPA

= – 2[cos Ï€ – cos 0] = 2[1 + 1] = 4.
Question 6.
Find the area enclosed between the parabola y2 = 4ax and the line y = mx.
Solution:
The given curves are
y = mx …………….. (1)
y2 = 4ax …………….. (2)
Putting value of y from (1) in (2), we get
m2x2 = 4ax
or x(m2x – 4a) = 0
∴ x = 0, x = \(\frac{4 a}{m^{2}}\).
Putting x = \(\frac{4 a}{m^{2}}\) in (1),
y = m.\(\frac{4 a}{m^{2}}\) = \(\frac{4a}{m}\)

∴ The curve y2 = 4ax and OP intersect at O(0, 0) and
∴ Area enclosed between the parabola y2 = 4ax and the line y = mx.
= Area of the region OPOQ [As per figure]
= Area of the region OMPQO – Area of ∆ OMP

Question 7.
Find the area enclosed by the parabola 4y = 3x2 and the line 2y = 3x + 12.
Solution:
The parabola and the line are
4y = 3x2 …………………. (1)
2y = 3sx + 12 ………………. (2)
Multiplying (2) by 2 and
Subtracting from (1), we get
0 = 3x2 – 6x – 24
or x2 – 2x – 8 = 0
or (x – 4)(x + 2) = 0
∴ x = 4, – 2
From (2), y = 12, 3

The graph of parabola and lines are shown in the figure. They intersect at P(- 2, 3) and Q(4, 12).
∴ The area enclosed by the parabola 4y = 3x2
and the line 2y = 3x + 12
= Area of the region POPQP
= Area of trapezium PLMQP – Area of the region LMQROP

= 45 – 18 = 27 sq.units.

Find the area of the smaller region bounded by the ellipse
\(\frac{x^{2}}{9}\) + \(\frac{y^{2}}{4}\) = 1 and the straight line \(\frac{x}{3}\) + \(\frac{y}{2}\) = 1.
Solution:

It is an ellipse with vertices at A(3, 0) and B(0, 2) and length of the major axis = 2(3) = 6 and length of the minor axis 2(2) = 4.
Line \(\frac{x}{3}\) + \(\frac{y}{2}\) = 1 ⇒ y = (\(\frac{6-2x}{3}\))
It is a straight line passing through A(3, 0) and B(0, 2).
Smaller area common to both is shaded.

For I1 put x = 3 sin θ so that dx = 3 cos θ dθ.
When x = 0, θ = 0 and when x = 3, θ = \(\frac{π}{2}\)

\(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}\) + \(\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}\) = 1 and the staraight line \(\frac{x}{a}\) + \(\frac{y}{b}\) = 1.
Solution:

Question 10.
Find the area of the region enclosed by parabola x2 = y, the line y = x + 2 and the x-axis.
Solution:
We have x2 = y. It represents a parabola with vertex at (0, 0), axis along the positive direction of y-axis and it opens upwards.
Also, y = x + 2 represents a straight line cutting x-axis at (-2, 0).
Solving x2 = y and y = x + 2, we get
x2 = x + 2
⇒ x2 – x – 2 = 0
⇒ (x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
⇒ x = 2, x = 1.
⇒ When x = 2, y = (2)2 = 4
and when x = – 1, y = (- 1)2 = 1.

So the two curves x2 = y and y = x + 2 intersect at the points (2, 4) and (- 1, 1).
Required area = Shaded region shown in the figure

Question 11.
Using method of integration, find the area bounded by |x| + |y| = 1.
Solution:
In I Quadrant, x > 0 and y > 0.
⇒ |x| = x, |y| = y.
The line is x + y = 1 …………….. (1)
In II Quadrant, x < 0 and y > 0.
⇒ |x| = – x. |y| = y.
The line is – x + y = 1
or x – y = -1 ………………… (2)
In III Quadrant, x < 0 and y < 0. ⇒ |x| = – x, |y| = – y. The line is – x – y = 1 or x + y = -1 ………….. (3)
In IV Quadrant, x > 0 and y < 0.
⇒ |x| = x, |y| = – y,
The line is x – y = 1 …………. (4)
Thus, |x| + |y| = 1 represent four lines forming a square ABCD.
Area of square ABCD

= 4 × Area of ∆ AOB
= 4 × \(\int_{0}^{1}\) (1 – x) dx
Since x + y = 1 is the equation of the line AB.

= 4 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 2 sq.units.
Question 12.
Find the area bounded by the curves {(x, y) y = ≥ x2 and y = |x|}.
Solution:
Clearly, x2 = y represents parabola with vertex at (0, 0), positive direction of y-axis as its axis and it opens upwards.
y= | x |, i.e., y = x and y = – x represent two lines passing through the origin and making an angle of 45° and 135° with the positive direction of the x-axis.

The required region is the shaded region as shown in the figure. Since both the curves are symmetrical about y-axis, therefore
required area = 2(shaded area in the first quadrant)

Question 13.
Using the method of integration, find the area of the triangle ABC, coordinates of whose vertices are A(2, 0), B(4, 5) and C(6, 3).
Solution:
Equation of the line AB is
y – 0 = \(\frac{5-0}{4-2}\)(x – 2)
⇒ y = \(\frac{5}{2}\)(x – 2).
Equation of the line BC is
y – 5 = \(\frac{3-5}{6-4}\)(x – 4)
⇒ y = – x + 9.
Equation of the line CA is
y – 3 = \(\frac{0-3}{2-6}\)(x – 6)
⇒ y = \(\frac{3}{4}\)(x – 2).

Required area = area of the region bounded by ∆ ABC
= area of the region AMB + area of the region BMNC – area of the region ANC

= 5 + 8 – 6 = 7 sq. units.
Question 14.
Using the method of integration, find the area of the region bounded by the lines
2x + y = 4, 3x – 2y = 6 and x – 3y + 5 = 0.
Solution:
The given lines are 2x + y = 4 ………….. (1)
3x – 2y = 6 ……………….. (2)
x – 3y = – 5 ……………….. (3)
Multiplying (3) by 2 and subtracting from (1), we get
7y = 14 ⇒ y = 2.
So, from (3) x – 6 = 5 ⇒ x = 1.
∴ Lines (1) and (3) intersect at (1, 2).
Again multiplying (3) by 3 and subtract it from (2). We get
7y = 21 ∴ y – 3.
From (3), X – 9 = – 5 ⇒ x = 4.
∴ Lines (2) and (3) intersect at (4, 3).
Multiply eq. (1) by 2 and add it to (2).
We get: 7x = 14 ∴ x = 2
From (2), 4 + y – 4 ∴ y = 0.
Lines (1) and (2) intersect at (2, 0).
The points A(1, 2), B(4, 3) and C(2, 3) are plotted and joined obtaining triangle ABC.

Area of ∆ ABC = Area of trapezium ALMB – Area of ∆ ALC – Area of ∆ BCM

Solution:
y2 = 4x is a parabola whose vertex is the origin and 4x2 + 4y2 = 9
represents a circle whose centre is (0, 0) and radius = \(\frac{3}{2}\).
On solving y2 = 4x
and x2 + y2 = \(\frac{9}{4}\).
The points of intersection are P(\(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\sqrt{2}\)) and Q(\(\frac{1}{2}\), – \(\sqrt{2}\)).
Both the curves are symmetrical about x-axis

Required area = area of the shaded region
= 2(area of the region OAPO)
= 2[(area of the region OMPO) + (area of the region MAPM)]

Choose the correct answers in the following questions 16 to 19:
Question 16.
The area bounded by the curve y = x3, the x-axis and ordinates x = – 2 and x = 1 is
(A) – 9
(B) – \(\frac{15}{4}\)
(C) \(\frac{15}{4}\)
(D) \(\frac{17}{4}\)
Solution:
The curve is y = x3.
Differentiating, we get
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 3x2 = +ve

∴ Curve is an increasing curve.
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 ⇒ x = 0.
∴ x-axis is the tangent at x = 0.
f(- x) = – f(x) ∴ (- x)3 = – x3.
Curve is symmetrical in opposite quadrants,
Area bounded by the curve y = x3, the x-axis, x = – 2 and x = 1
= Area of the region AQOBPOA
= Area of the region AQOA + Area of the region ∆ BPO

∴ Part D is the correct answer.

(A) 0
(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\)
(C) \(\frac{2}{3}\)
(D) \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Solution:
When x > 0, |x| = x.
∴ The equation of the curve is y = x2.
When x < 0, |x| = – x.
∴ Equation of the curve is
y = x2.
∴ Area bounded by the curve
y = x|x|,
x-axis and ordinates x = – 1, x = 1
= Area of region + Area of region ∆ BQO

= 2 × Area of region ∆ BQO
(∵ These areas are equal due to symmetry)

∴ Part (C) is the correct answer.
Question 18.
The area of the circle x2 + y2 = 16 exterior to the parabola y2 = 6x is
(A) \(\frac{4}{3}\) (4Ï€ – \(\sqrt{3}\))
(B) \(\frac{4}{3}\) (4Ï€ + \(\sqrt{3}\))
(C) \(\frac{4}{3}\) (8Ï€ – \(\sqrt{3}\))
(D) \(\frac{4}{3}\) (8Ï€ + \(\sqrt{3}\))
Solution:
The given curves are
x2 + y2 = 16 ………….. (1)
y2 = 6x ……………….. (2)
Putting y2 = 6x in (1), we get
x2 + 6x = 16
or x2 + 6x – 16 = 0
(x + 8)(x – 2) = 0
∴ x = – 8, 2
But x ≠– 8
So, x = 2.
From (2), y2 = 6x ⇒ y = ± 2\(\sqrt{3}\)

Area of the whole circle

Now circle and parabola intersect at P(2, 2\(\sqrt{3}\)) and Q (2, – 2\(\sqrt{3}\)).
Smaller area enclosed by circle and parabola
= Area of region OQAP
= 2 × Area of region OQAP
= 2 × [Area of region OMP + Area of region MAP]
= 2(\(\int_{0}^{2} y_{1} d x+\int_{2}^{4} y_{2} d x\))
When y1 is for parabola y2 = 6x. ∴ y = \(\sqrt{6x}\).
y2 is for circle x2 + y2 = 16 ∴ y = \(\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\)

Common area exterior to the parabola y2 = 6x is equal to
16Ï€ – (\(\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) + \(\frac{16}{3}\)Ï€)
= \(\frac{32}{3}\)Ï€ – \(\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\)(8Ï€ – \(\sqrt{3}\)).
∴ Part (C) is the correct answer.

The curve are y = cos x, y = sin x, 0 ≤ x ≤ \(\frac{π}{2}\).
The curve meet
where sin x = cos x.
or tan x = 1
⇒ x = \(\frac{π}{4}\).
sin \(\frac{Ï€}{4}\) = cos \(\frac{Ï€}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\).

Graphs of these curves are as shown in the figure.
They intersect at P(\(\frac{Ï€}{4}\), \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)).
The area bounded by y-axis, y = cos x and y = sin x (0 ≤ x ≤ \(\frac{π}{2}\))
= shaded area
= Area of region ∆ OPBO
= Area of region ∆ PAO + Area of region ∆ PBA

where x1 is for y = sin x or x = sin-1y ,
and x2 is for y = cos x or x = cos-1 y.

∴ Part (B) is the correct answer.
