By solving the equation we get the intersecting point $D(-\sqrt{2},\frac{1}{2})$ and $B(\sqrt{2},\frac{1}{2})$
So, the required area (OBCDO)=2 times the area of (OBCO)
Draw a normal on the x-axis (M = $\sqrt{2},0$ )
Thus the area of OBCO = Area of OMBCO - Area of OMBO
$\\\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{\frac{(9-4x^2)}{4}}dx-\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}{\frac{x^2}{4}}dx\\ =\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{9-4x^2}-\frac{1}{4}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}x^2dx\\ =\frac{1}{4}[x\sqrt{9-4x^2}+\frac{9}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{3}]_0^{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{4}[\frac{x^3}{3}]_0^{\sqrt{2}}\\ =\frac{1}{4}[\sqrt{2}+\frac{9}{8}\sin^{-1}\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}]-\frac{1}{12}(\sqrt{2})^3\\ =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}+\frac{9}{8}\sin^{-1}\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}\\ =\frac{1}{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}+\frac{9}{4}\sin^{-1}\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3})$
S0, total area =
$\\=2\times \frac{1}{2}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}+\frac{9}{4}\sin^{-1}\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3})\\ =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}+\frac{9}{4}\sin^{-1}\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$
Question:2 Find the area bounded by curves $\small (x-1)^2+y^2=1$ and $\small x^2+y^2=1$ .
Answer:
Given curves are $\small (x-1)^2+y^2=1$ and $\small x^2+y^2=1$
Point of intersection of these two curves are
$A = \left ( \frac{1}{2},\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \right )$ and $B = \left ( \frac{1}{2},-\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \right )$
We can clearly see that the required area is symmetrical about the x-axis
Therefore,
Area of OBCAO = 2 $\times$ Area of OCAO
Now, join AB such that it intersects the x-axis at M and AM is perpendicular to OC
Coordinates of M = $\left ( \frac{1}{2},0 \right )$
Now,
Area OCAO = Area OMAO + Area CMAC
$=\left [ \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}dx +\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}\sqrt{1-x^2}dx \right ]$
$=\left [ \frac{x-1}{2}\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(x-1) \right ]_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\left [ \frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}x \right ]_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}$
$=\left [- \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{1-(-\frac{1}{2})^2}+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-1)-0-\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(-1) \right ]+\left [ 0+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(1)- \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^2}-\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\right ]$
$=\left [ -\frac{\sqrt3}{8}+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -\frac{\pi}{6} \right )-\frac{1}{2}\left ( -\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \right ]+\left [ \frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{\pi}{2} \right ) -\frac{\sqrt3}{8}-\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{\pi}{6} \right )\right ]$
$= \left [ -\frac{\sqrt3}{8}+\frac{\pi}{6} \right ]+\left [ \frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\sqrt3}{8} \right ]$
$=2 \left [ -\frac{\sqrt3}{8}+\frac{\pi}{6} \right ]$
Now,
Area of OBCAO = 2 $\times$ Area of OCAO
$=2\times 2 \left [ -\frac{\sqrt3}{8}+\frac{\pi}{6} \right ]$
$=\frac{2\pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
Therefore, the answer is $\frac{2\pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
Question: 3 Find the area of the region bounded by the curves $\small y=x^2+2,y=x,x=0$ and $\small x=3$ .
Answer:
The area of the region bounded by the curves,
$\small y=x^2+2,y=x,x=0$ and $\small x=3$ is represented by the shaded area OCBAO as

Then, Area OCBAO will be = Area of ODBAO - Area of ODCO
which is equal to
$\int_0^3(x^2+2)dx - \int_0^3x dx$
$= \left ( \frac{x^3}{3}+2x \right )_0^3 -\left ( \frac{x^3}{2} \right )_0^3$
$= \left [ 9+6 \right ] - \left [ \frac{9}{2} \right ] = 15-\frac{9}{2} = \frac{21}{2}units.$
Answer:
So, we draw BL and CM perpendicular to x-axis.
Then it can be observed in the following figure that,
$Area(\triangle ACB) = Area (ALBA)+Area(BLMCB) - Area (AMCA)$
We have the graph as follows:

Equation of the line segment AB is:
$y-0 = \frac{3-0}{1+1}(x+1)$ or $y = \frac{3}{2}(x+1)$
Therefore we have Area of $ALBA$
$=\int_{-1}^1 \frac{3}{2}(x+1)dx =\frac{3}{2}\left [ \frac{x^2}{2}+x \right ]_{-1}^1$
$=\frac{3}{2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+1-\frac{1}{2}+1 \right ] =3units.$
So, the equation of line segment BC is
$y-3 = \frac{2-3}{3-1}(x-1)$ or $y= \frac{1}{2}(-x+7)$
Therefore the area of BLMCB will be,
$=\int_1^3 \frac{1}{2}(-x+7)dx =\frac{1}{2}\left [ -\frac{x^2}{2}+7x \right ]_1^3$
$= \frac{1}{2}\left [ -\frac{9}{2}+21+\frac{1}{2}-7 \right ] =5units.$
Equation of the line segment AC is,
$y-0 = \frac{2-0}{3+1}(x+1)$ or $y = \frac{1}{2}(x+1)$
Therefore the area of AMCA will be,
$=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^3 (x+1)dx =\frac{1}{2}\left [ \frac{x^2}{2}+x \right ]_{-1}^3$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{9}{2}+3-\frac{1}{2}+1 \right ) = 4units.$
Therefore, from equations (1), we get
The area of the triangle $\triangle ABC =3+5-4 =4units.$
Answer:
The equations of sides of the triangle are $y=2x+1, y =3x+1,\ and\ x=4$ .
ON solving these equations, we will get the vertices of the triangle as $A(0,1),B(4,13),\ and\ C(4,9)$

Thus it can be seen that,
$Area (\triangle ACB) = Area (OLBAO) -Area (OLCAO)$
$= \int_0^4 (3x+1)dx -\int_0^4(2x+1)dx$
$= \left [ \frac{3x^2}{2}+x \right ]_0^4 - \left [ \frac{2x^2}{2}+x \right ]_0^4$
$=(24+4) - (16+4) = 28-20 =8units.$
Question:6 Choose the correct answer.
Smaller area enclosed by the circle $\small x^2+y^2=4$ and the line $\small x+y=2$ is
(A) $\small 2(\pi -2)$ (B) $\small \pi -2$ (C) $\small 2\pi -1$ (D) $\small 2(\pi +2)$
Answer:
So, the smaller area enclosed by the circle, $x^2+y^2 =4$ , and the line, $x+y =2$ , is represented by the shaded area ACBA as

Thus it can be observed that,
Area of ACBA = Area OACBO - Area of $(\triangle OAB)$
$=\int_0^2 \sqrt{4-x^2} dx -\int_0^2 (2-x)dx$
$= \left ( \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}{\frac{x}{2}} \right )_0^2 - \left ( 2x -\frac{x^2}{2} \right )_0^2$
$= \left [ 2.\frac{\pi}{2} \right ] -[4-2]$
$= (\pi -2) units.$
Thus, the correct answer is B.
Question:7 Choose the correct answer.
Area lying between the curves $\small y^2=4x$ and $\small y=2x$ is
(A) $\small \frac{2}{3}$ (B) $\small \frac{1}{3}$ (C) $\small \frac{1}{4}$ (D) $\small \frac{3}{4}$
Answer:
The area lying between the curve, $\small y^2=4x$ and $\small y=2x$ is represented by the shaded area OBAO as

The points of intersection of these curves are $O(0,0)$ and $A (1,2)$ .
So, we draw AC perpendicular to x-axis such that the coordinates of C are (1,0).
Therefore the Area OBAO = $Area(\triangle OCA) -Area (OCABO)$
$=2\left [ \frac{x^2}{2} \right ]_0^1 - 2\left [ \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]_0^1$
$=\left | 1-\frac{4}{3} \right | = \left | -\frac{1}{3} \right | = \frac{1}{3} units.$
Thus the correct answer is B.
