NDA2016MathematicsArea Under CurvesActual
What is the area bounded by the curves |y|=1-x^2 ?
Options
- A4 3 square units
- B8 3 square units
- C4 square units
- D16 3 square units
Correct answer
B. 8 3 square units
Step-by-step solution
Since |y|= array cc y & y 0 -y & y 0 0 & y=0 array . For y 0 y=1-x^2 For y 0 y=x^2-1 For y=0 x= 1 So area under the curve =4 Area under the region OABO (symmetry) aligned = & 4 ₀^1 1-x^2 dx & .=4 [x- x^3 3 ]₀^1 ] aligned =4 (1- 1 3 )=4 2 3 = 8 3 sq. units
