Question:

Find the area of the smaller region bounded by the ellipse x^2​/a^2+y^2​/b^2=1 and the line ax​+by​=1

Answer:

Step 1: Determine the equation of the ellipse.

The equation of the ellipse is x^2​/a^2+y^2​/b^2=1.

Step 2: Determine the equation of the line.

The equation of the line is ax​+by​=1.

Step 3: Determine the points of intersection between the ellipse and the line.

To determine the points of intersection, solve the equation of the ellipse and the equation of the line simultaneously.

Question:

Find the area enclosed between the parabola y^2=4ax and the line y=mx.

Answer:

Step 1: Identify the equation of the parabola and the line.

Parabola: y^2 = 4ax Line: y = mx

Step 2: Find the x-coordinates of the points of intersection between the parabola and the line.

Substituting y = mx in y^2 = 4ax, we get: x^2 = 4ax/m^2

Solving for x, we get: x = ±√(4ax/m^2)

Step 3: Find the area enclosed between the parabola and the line.

The area enclosed between the parabola and the line is given by: Area = ∫y1-y2dx

Where y1 is the equation of the parabola and y2 is the equation of the line.

Substituting the equations of the parabola and the line, we get: Area = ∫(4ax-mx^2)dx

Integrating with respect to x, we get: Area = (2ax^2/2) - (mx^3/3)

Substituting the value of x obtained in Step 2, we get: Area = (2ax^2/2) - (mx^3/3) = (2a(4ax/m^2)/2) - (m(4ax/m^2)^3/3) = 8a^2/m^2 - (16a^3/3m^3)

Therefore, the area enclosed between the parabola and the line is given by: Area = 8a^2/m^2 - (16a^3/3m^3)

Question:

Find the area enclosed by the parabola 4y=3x^2 and the line 2y=3x+12

Answer:

Step 1: The equation of the parabola is 4y=3x^2.

Step 2: The equation of the line is 2y=3x+12.

Step 3: Find the points of intersection of the two curves. To do this, set the equations equal to each other and solve for x.

4y = 3x^2 2y = 3x + 12

3x^2 = 3x + 12

x^2 = x + 4

(x-4)(x+1) = 0

x = 4 or x = -1

Step 4: Substitute the x-values into either equation to find the corresponding y-values.

For x = 4, 4y = 3(4)^2 y = 12

For x = -1, 2y = 3(-1) + 12 y = 9

Step 5: Plot the points of intersection on the graph.

Step 6: Calculate the area of the region bounded by the parabola and the line using the formula A = 1/2 ∫[a,b] (f(x) - g(x))dx.

A = 1/2 ∫[-1,4] (4y - 2y - 3x - 12)dx

A = 1/2 ∫[-1,4] (2y - 3x - 12)dx

A = 1/2 ∫[-1,4] (2(3x + 12) - 3x - 12)dx

A = 1/2 ∫[-1,4] (6x + 12 - 3x - 12)dx

A = 1/2 ∫[-1,4] (3x)dx

A = 1/2 (3/2 x^2)|[-1,4]

A = 1/2 (3/2 (16 - 1))

A = 36.5

Question:

The area of the region bounded by the y-axis, y=cosx and y=sinx,0≤x≤π​/2 is A 2(√2−1) B √2−1 C √2+1 D √2

Answer:

Step 1: Identify the given equation.

The given equation is y = cosx and y = sinx, 0 ≤ x ≤ π/2.

Step 2: Calculate the area of the region.

The area of the region can be calculated using the formula A = ∫0π/2 (sinx - cosx)dx.

Step 3: Solve the integral.

The integral can be solved using integration by parts.

A = ∫0π/2 (sinx - cosx)dx = [sinxcosx]0π/2 - ∫0π/2 (cos²x)dx = (sinπ/2cosπ/2) - ∫0π/2 (1-sinx²)dx = (sinπ/2cosπ/2) - [x - (1/3)sin³x]0π/2 = (√2 - 1) - [(π/2) - (1/3)(1-cos³π/2)] = (√2 - 1) - [(π/2) - (1/3)(1-(-1/2))] = (√2 - 1) - [(π/2) - (1/3)(3/2)] = (√2 - 1) - (π/2 - 1) = (√2 - 1) - (π/2 - 1)

Step 4: Answer the question.

The area of the region bounded by the y-axis, y=cosx and y=sinx,0≤x≤π​/2 is B √2−1.

Question:

Using the method of integraton find the area of the region bounded by lines: 2x+y=4,3x−2y=6 and x−3y+5=0

Answer:

Step 1: Rewrite the equations in the standard form of y = mx + c 2x + y = 4 => y = -2x + 4

3x - 2y = 6 => y = (3/2)x - 3

x - 3y + 5 = 0 => y = (1/3)x - (5/3)

Step 2: Find the intersection points of the lines

From equations (1) and (2): -2x + 4 = (3/2)x - 3 => 5x = 7 => x = 7/5

Substituting x = 7/5 in equation (1): 2(7/5) + y = 4 => y = 4 - (14/5) => y = 6/5

Step 3: Find the limits for the integration Let the intersection points be (a,b) and (c,d). From Step 2, we get (a,b) = (7/5, 6/5) and (c,d) = (7/5, 6/5)

Step 4: Integrate the function The area of the region bounded by the lines can be found by integrating the function y = (1/3)x - (5/3) between the limits a and c.

Area = ∫c a (1/3)x - (5/3) dx = [(1/3)x2 - (5/3)x]c a = [(1/3)(7/5)2 - (5/3)(7/5)] - [(1/3)(7/5)2 - (5/3)(7/5)] = 0

Hence, the area of the region bounded by the lines is 0.

Step 3: Set the equations equal to each other: x2 = y = x + 2

Step 4: Solve for x: x2 - x - 2 = 0

Step 5: Factor the equation: (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

Step 6: Solve for x: x = 2 or x = -1

Step 7: Find the y-values for each x-value: y = 4 for x = 2 and y = -1 for x = -1

Step 8: Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola and the line: Area = ½(4 + 1) = 2.5

Question:

Find the area of the smaller region bounded by the ellipse x^2​/9+y^2​/4=1 and the line x​/3+y​/2=1

Answer:

Step 1: Rewrite the equation of the ellipse in standard form.

The equation of the ellipse can be rewritten in standard form as: x^2/9 + y^2/4 = 1

Step 2: Find the coordinates of the points of intersection between the ellipse and the line.

To find the points of intersection, set the equation of the ellipse equal to the equation of the line and solve for x and y.

x^2/9 + y^2/4 = 1 x/3 + y/2 = 1

Solving for y, we get: y = 2 - 2x/3

Substituting this into the equation of the ellipse, we get: x^2/9 + (2 - 2x/3)^2/4 = 1

Simplifying, we get: 4x^2/9 - 4x/3 + 4 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get: x = 3/4, -3/4

Substituting these values into the equation of the line, we get: y = 2 - 2(3/4)/3 = 1/2 y = 2 - 2(-3/4)/3 = 5/2

Therefore, the points of intersection are (3/4, 1/2) and (-3/4, 5/2).

Step 3: Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse and the line.

To find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse and the line, we can use the formula for the area of an ellipse: A = πab

where a and b are the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse.

Since the equation of the ellipse is in standard form, we can easily find the semi-major and semi-minor axes.

The semi-major axis is equal to 3, and the semi-minor axis is equal to 2.

Therefore, the area of the region bounded by the ellipse and the line is: A = π(3)(2) = 6π

Question:

Find the area bounded by the curve y=sinx between x=0 and x=2π

Answer:

Step 1: Draw the graph of y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π.

Step 2: Calculate the area under the curve between x = 0 and x = 2π. This can be done by integrating y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π.

Step 3: The integral of y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π is equal to -cos(2π) + cos(0) = -1 + 1 = 0.

Therefore, the area bounded by the curve y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π is 0.

Question:

Sketch the graph of y=∣x+3∣ and evaluate ∫−60​∣x+3∣dx

Answer:

  1. Graph of y=|x+3|:

The graph of y=|x+3| is a V-shaped graph which is symmetrical about the y-axis. It looks like this:

  1. Evaluating ∫−60​∣x+3∣dx:

We can use the following formula to evaluate the integral:

∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C

Where F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x), and C is an arbitrary constant.

In this case, f(x) = |x+3|, so the antiderivative of f(x) is F(x) = (1/2)(x+3)^2 + C.

Therefore, we can evaluate the integral as follows:

∫−60​∣x+3∣dx = (1/2)(-60+3)^2 + C = (-2745/2) + C

Answer:

Step 1: Find the equation of the line joining the coordinates of A and B.

The equation of the line joining A(2, 0) and B(4, 5) is y = 5/2x - 1.

Step 2: Find the equation of the line joining the coordinates of B and C.

The equation of the line joining B(4, 5) and C(6, 3) is y = -3/2x + 9.

Step 3: Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines.

The coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines is (4, 3).

Step 4: Find the area of the triangle using the formula:

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

The base of the triangle is the distance between A and B, which is 2 units.

The height of the triangle is the distance between B and C, which is 2 units.

Therefore, the area of the triangle ABC = 1/2 * 2 * 2 = 2 units.
