The area of the region {(x,y):0≤y≤6−x,y2≥4x−3,x≥0}\{(x, y) : 0 \leq y \leq 6 - x, y^2 \geq 4x - 3, x \geq 0\} is:

Correct answer

B. 99

Step-by-step solution

The given region is defined by the inequalities:
x≥0x \geq 0
0≤y≤6−x⇒y≥00 \leq y \leq 6 - x \Rightarrow y \geq 0 and x≤6−yx \leq 6 - y
y2≥4x−3⇒x≤y2+34y^2 \geq 4x - 3 \Rightarrow x \leq \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4}

From these inequalities, for a given y≥0y \geq 0, the value of xx ranges from 00 to min⁡(6−y,y2+34)\min\left(6 - y, \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4}\right).

To find the point where the two bounding curves intersect, we equate them:
6−y=y2+346 - y = \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4}

24−4y=y2+324 - 4y = y^2 + 3

y2+4y−21=0y^2 + 4y - 21 = 0

(y+7)(y−3)=0(y + 7)(y - 3) = 0

Since y≥0y \geq 0, the intersection occurs at y=3y = 3.

For 0≤y≤30 \leq y \leq 3, the right boundary is the parabola x=y2+34x = \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4}.
For 3≤y≤63 \leq y \leq 6, the right boundary is the line x=6−yx = 6 - y.

The total area AA can be calculated by integrating with respect to yy:
A=∫03y2+34dy+∫36(6−y)dyA = \int_{0}^{3} \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4} dy + \int_{3}^{6} (6 - y) dy

Evaluating the first integral:
∫03y2+34dy=14[y33+3y]03=14(9+9)=184=92\int_{0}^{3} \dfrac{y^2 + 3}{4} dy = \dfrac{1}{4} \left[ \dfrac{y^3}{3} + 3y \right]_{0}^{3} = \dfrac{1}{4} (9 + 9) = \dfrac{18}{4} = \dfrac{9}{2}

Evaluating the second integral:
∫36(6−y)dy=[6y−y22]36=(36−18)−(18−92)=18−13.5=92\int_{3}^{6} (6 - y) dy = \left[ 6y - \dfrac{y^2}{2} \right]_{3}^{6} = (36 - 18) - \left(18 - \dfrac{9}{2}\right) = 18 - 13.5 = \dfrac{9}{2}

Total Area = 92+92=9\dfrac{9}{2} + \dfrac{9}{2} = 9
