The area bounded by the curve y = x ∣ x ∣ , x -axis and the ordinates x = − 1 and x = 1 is given by
(A) 0(B) 3 1 (C) 3 2 (D) 3 4
Show answer & solution
Answer: (C) 3 2
For x ≥ 0 , y = x 2 ; for x < 0 , y = − x 2 . The curve is symmetric about the origin. Area = 2 ∫ 0 1 x 2 d x = 2 × 3 1 = 3 2 sq unit.
Which of the following expressions will give the area of region bounded by the curve y = x 2 and line y = 16 ?
(A) ∫ 0 4 x 2 d x (B) 2 ∫ 0 4 x 2 d x (C) ∫ 0 16 y d y (D) 2 ∫ 0 16 y d y
Show answer & solution
The region lies between y = 0 and y = 16 , with x from − y to y . It is symmetric about the y-axis, so area = 2 ∫ 0 16 x d y = 2 ∫ 0 16 y d y .
The area of the shaded region of the circle given below is equal to :
(A) ∫ 1 3 9 − y 2 d y (B) 2 ∫ 1 3 9 − y 2 d y (C) ∫ 0 3 9 − x 2 d x (D) 2 ∫ 0 3 9 − x 2 d x
Show answer & solution
The shaded part is the part of the circle x 2 + y 2 = 9 above the line y = 1 . Taking horizontal strips, x runs from − 9 − y 2 to 9 − y 2 , for y from 1 to 3. Area = ∫ 1 3 2 9 − y 2 d y = 2 ∫ 1 3 9 − y 2 d y .
The area of the region bounded by the curve y = x and x-axis, between x = 0 and x = 2 is :
(A) 2 sq. units(B) 2 1 sq. unit(C) 1 sq. unit(D) 4 sq. units
Show answer & solution
Answer: (A) 2 sq. units
Area = ∫ 0 2 x d x = [ 2 x 2 ] 0 2 . = 2 sq. units.
An ant is observed crawling on a sheet of paper along a straight line given by equation y = 2 x − 4 . Area of the surface covered by the ant bounded by y-axis, x-axis and x = 1 is :
(A) 1 sq. unit(B) 3 sq. units(C) 2 sq. units(D) 4 sq. units
Show answer & solution
Answer: (B) 3 sq. units
For 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 , y = 2 x − 4 < 0 , so the region lies below the x-axis. Area = ∫ 0 1 ( 4 − 2 x ) d x = [ 4 x − x 2 ] 0 1 = 3 sq. units.
