Let B and C are points of intersection of the parabola y = x 2 and the circle x 2 + y - 2 2 = 8 . The area of the triangle O B C , where O is the origin, is
Options
- A2
- B4
- C6
- D8
Correct answer
D. 8
Step-by-step solution
Solving y = x 2 and x 2 + y - 2 2 = 8 we get, y + y - 2 2 = 8 ⇒ y 2 - 3 y - 4 = 0 ⇒ y = - 1,4 ⇒ y = 4 y ≠ - 1 otherwise x is not defined ⇒ x 2 = 4 ⇒ x = ± 2 Let, B = - 2,4 ,   C = 2,4 Now, the area of Δ O B C = 1 2 × 4 × 4 = 8 units
