Required area =

01(42x2x2)dx=4xx22x3301\left. {\int\limits_0^1 {\left( {4 - 2x - 2{x^2}} \right)dx = 4x - {x^2} - {{2{x^3}} \over 3}} } \right|_0^1
=4123=73= 4 - 1 - {2 \over 3} = {7 \over 3}
Q5
The area of the region bounded by y - x = 2 and x2 = y is equal to :
A 163{{16} \over 3}
B 23{{2} \over 3}
C 92{{9} \over 2}
D 43{{4} \over 3}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

y - x = 2, x2 = y Now, x2 = 2 + x \Rightarrow x2 - x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow (x + 1)(x - 2) = 0 Area =

12(2+xx2)\int\limits_{ - 1}^2 {(2 + x - {x^2})}
=2x+x22x3312= \left| {2x + {{{x^2}} \over 2} - {{{x^3}} \over 3}} \right|_{ - 1}^2
=(4+283)(2+12+13)= \left( {4 + 2 - {8 \over 3}} \right) - \left( { - 2 + {1 \over 2} + {1 \over 3}} \right)
=63+212=92= 6 - 3 + 2 - {1 \over 2} = {9 \over 2}

AA \Rightarrow Rectangle ABDE - Area of region EDC

A4201(3x)(x2+32)dxA42{3xx22x3632x}01A42{3121632}=73\begin{aligned} & A \Rightarrow 4-2 \int_0^1(3-x)-\left(\frac{x^2+3}{2}\right) d x \\ & A \Rightarrow 4-2\left\{3 x-\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{6}-\frac{3}{2} x\right\}_0^1 \\ & A \Rightarrow 4-2\left\{3-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{3}{2}\right\}=\frac{7}{3} \end{aligned}

So 6 A=146 \mathrm{~A}=14

Q7
The area enclosed between the curves y2=x{y^2} = x and y=xy = \left| x \right| is :
A 1/61/6
B 1/31/3
C 2/32/3
D 11
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The area enclosed between the curves

y2=x{y^2} = x

and

y=xy = \left| x \right|

From the figure, area lies between

y2=x{y^2} = x

and

y=xy = x

\therefore Required area

=01(y2y1)dx= \int_0^1 {\left( {{y_2} - {y_1}} \right)} dx
=01(xx)dx=[x3/23/2x22]01= \int_0^1 {\left( {\sqrt x - x} \right)dx = \left[ {{{{x^{3/2}}} \over {3/2}} - {{{x^2}} \over 2}} \right]} _0^1

\therefore Required area

=23[x3/2]0112[x2]01= {2 \over 3}\left[ {{x^{3/2}}} \right]_0^1 - {1 \over 2}\left[ {{x^2}} \right]_0^1
=2312=16= {2 \over 3} - {1 \over 2} = {1 \over 6}
Q8
The area bounded by the curves y=lnx,y=lnx,y=lnxy = \ln x,y = \ln \left| x \right|,y = \left| {\ln {\mkern 1mu} x} \right| and y=lnxy = \left| {\ln \left| x \right|} \right| is :
A 44sq. units
B 66sq. units
C 1010sq. units
D none of these
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

First we draw each curve as separate graph NOTE : Graph of

y=f(x)y = \left| {f\left( x \right)} \right|

can be obtained from the graph of the curve

y=f(x)y = f\left( x \right)

by drawing the mirror image of the portion of the graph below

xx

-axis, with respect to

xx

-axis. Clearly the bounded area is as shown in the following figure. Required area

=401(lnx)dx= 4\int\limits_0^1 {\left( { - \ln x} \right)} dx
=4[xlnx+x01]=4= - 4\left[ {x\,\ln x + - x_0^1} \right] = 4\,\,

=[2xx2]10+[2x]01+[4xx2]12= \left[ {2x - {x^2}} \right]_{ - 1}^0 + \left[ {2x} \right]_0^1 + \left[ {4x - {x^2}} \right]_1^2
=0(2+1)+(20)+(84)(41)= 0 - \left( { - 2 + 1} \right) + \left( {2 - 0} \right) + \left( {8 - 4} \right) - \left( {4 - 1} \right)
