Correct answer
A. 8 2 3 + 9 2 - 2 2 - 9 ⁻¹ 1 3
Step-by-step solution
To find the points of intersection of the circle x^2 + y^2 = 9 and the parabola y^2 = 8x , substitute y^2 = 8x into the equation of the circle: x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0 (x + 9)(x - 1) = 0 Since x 0 for the parabola, we get x = 1 . The required region is bounded by x^2 + y^2 9 and y^2 8x . This region is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. The total area A is given by: A = 2 ( ₀¹ 8x , dx + ₁³ 9 - x^2 , dx ) Evaluating the first integral: ₀¹ 8x , dx = 2 2 [ 2 3 x^ 3/2 ]₀¹ = 4 2 3 Evaluating the second integral: ₁³ 9 - x^2
