What is the area bounded by the curves |y|=1-x^2 ?
What is the area bounded by the curves ?
Options
- A square units
- B square units
- C4 square units
- D square units
Correct answer
B. square units
Step-by-step solution
Since |y|=\left\{\right.$
For $y > 0 \Rightarrow y=1-x^2$
For $y < 0 \Rightarrow y=x^2-1$
For $y=0 \Rightarrow x= \pm 1$
So area under the curve $=4 \times$ Area under the region OABO (symmetry)\begin{aligned}= & 4 \times \int_0^1 1-x^2 \mathrm{dx} \\ & \left.=4 \times\left[x-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^1\right]\end{aligned}$=4 \times $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3} sq. units
