Application of Integrals Class 12 Chapter 8 Exercise: 8.1

Question:1 Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y^2=x and the lines x=1,x=4 and the x -axis in the first quadrant.

Answer:

Area of the region bounded by the curve y^2=x and the lines x=1,x=4 and the x -axis in the first quadrant

Area = \int_{1}^{4}ydy = \int_{1}^{4}\sqrt{x}dx

\left [\frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]^4_1 = \frac{2}{3}\left [ (4)^\frac{3}{2}- (1)^\frac{3}{2} \right ]

= \frac{2}{3}\left [ 8 -1 \right ]

= 14/3 units

Question:2 Find the area of the region bounded by y^2=9x,x=2,x=4 and the x -axis in the first quadrant.

Answer:

Area of the region bounded by the curve y^2=9x,x=2,x=4 and the x -axis in the first quadrant

Area = \int_{2}^{4}ydy = \int_{2}^{4}\sqrt{9x}dx = 3\int_{2}^{4}\sqrt{x}dx

3\left [\frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]^4_2 = 3.\frac{2}{3}\left [ (4)^\frac{3}{2}- (2)^\frac{3}{2} \right ]

= 2\left [ 8 -2\sqrt2 \right ]

= \left [ 16 -4\sqrt2 \right ] units

Question:3 Find the area of the region bounded by x^2=4y,y=2,y=4 and the y -axis in the first quadrant.

Answer:

The area bounded by the curves x^2=4y,y=2,y=4 and the y -axis in the first quadrant is ABCD.


= \int^4_{2} x dy

= \int^4_{2} 2\sqrt{y} dy

= 2\int^4_{2} \sqrt{y} dy

=2\left \{ \frac{y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right \}^4_{2}

= \frac{4}{3}\left \{ (4)^{\frac{3}{2}}-(2)^{\frac{3}{2}} \right \}

= \frac{4}{3} \left \{ 8 -2\sqrt 2 \right \}

= \left \{ \frac{32-8\sqrt 2}{3} \right \}\ units.

Question:4 Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1.

Answer:

The area bounded by the ellipse : \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1.


Area will be 4 times the area of EAB.

Therefore, Area\ of\ EAB= \int^4_{0} y dx

= \int^4_{0}3\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{16}} dx

= \frac{3}{4}\int^4_{0}\sqrt{16-x^2} dx

= \frac{3}{4}\left [ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{16-x^2}+\frac{16}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{4} \right ]^4_{0}

= \frac{3}{4}\left [ 2\sqrt{16-16} +8\sin^{-1}(1)-0-8\sin^{-1}(0)\right ]

= \frac{3}{4}\left [ \frac{8\pi}{2} \right ]

= \frac{3}{4}\left [ 4\pi \right ] =3\pi

Therefore the area bounded by the ellipse will be = 4\times {3\pi} = 12\pi\ units.

Question: 5 Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse \small \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

Answer:

The area bounded by the ellipse : \small \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

The area will be 4 times the area of EAB.

Therefore, Area\ of\ EAB= \int^2_{0} y dx

= \int^2_{0}3\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{4}} dx

= \frac{3}{2}\int^2_{0}\sqrt{4-x^2} dx

= \frac{3}{2}\left [ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt4-x^2 +\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2} \right ]^2_{0}

= \frac{3}{2}\left [ \frac{2\pi}{2} \right ]

= \frac{3\pi}{2}

Therefore the area bounded by the ellipse will be = 4\times \frac{3\pi}{2} = 6\pi\ units.

Question: 6 Find the area of the region in the first quadrant enclosed by \small x -axis, line \small x=\sqrt{3}y and the circle \small x^2+y^2=4
Answer:

The area of the region bounded by \small x=\sqrt{3}y and \small x^2+y^2=4 is ABC shown:

The point B of the intersection of the line and the circle in the first quadrant is (\sqrt3,1) .

Area ABC = Area ABM + Area BMC where, M is point in x-axis perpendicular drawn from the line.

Now,area of ABM = \frac{1}{2}\times AM\times BM = \frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{3}\times 1 =\frac{\sqrt3}{2} ............(1)

and Area of BMC = \int^2_{\sqrt{3}} ydx

= \int^2_{\sqrt3} \sqrt{4-x^2} dx

= \left [ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2} \right ]^2_{\sqrt3}

= \left [ 2\times\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\sqrt{4-3}-2\sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt3}{2} \right ) \right ]

= \left [ \pi - \frac{\sqrt3\pi}{2}-2\frac{\pi}{3} \right ]

= \left [ \pi-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}-\frac{2\pi}{3} \right ]

= \left [ \frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \right ] ..................................(2)

then adding the area (1) and (2), we have then

The Area under ABC = \frac{\sqrt3}{2} +\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt3}{2} = \frac{\pi}{3}\ units.

Question: 7 Find the area of the smaller part of the circle \small x^2+y^2=a^2 cut off by the line
\small x=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

Answer:


we need to find the area of smaller part of the circle
Now,
Area of ABCD = 2 X Area of ABC
Area of ABC = \int_{\frac{a}{\sqrt2}}^{a} ydx= \int_{\frac{a}{\sqrt2}}^{a} \sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx= \left [ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}\right ]^{a}_\frac{a}{\sqrt2}\\ \\
=\left [ \frac{a}{2}\sqrt{a^2-a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{a}{a}- \frac{a}{2\sqrt2}\sqrt{a^2-(\frac{a}{\sqrt2})^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{a}{a\sqrt2}\right ]
=\left [ \frac{a}{2}\sqrt{0}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}1- \frac{a}{2\sqrt2}\sqrt{\frac{a^2}{2}}-\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right ]
=\left [ 0+\frac{a^2}{2}\frac{\pi}{2}- \frac{a^2}{4}-\frac{a^2}{2}\frac{\pi}{4}\right ]
=\frac{a^2}{4}\left ( \frac{\pi}{2}-1 \right )
Area of ABCD = 2 X Area of ABC
=2\times\frac{a^2}{4}\left ( \frac{\pi}{2}-1 \right )= \frac{a^2}{2}\left ( \frac{\pi}{2}-1 \right )
Therefore, the area of the smaller part of the circle is \frac{a^2}{2}\left ( \frac{\pi}{2}-1 \right )

Question:8 The area between \small x=y^2 and \small x=4 is divided into two equal parts by the line \small x=a , find the value of \small a .

Answer:

we can clearly see that given area is symmetrical about x - axis
It is given that
Area of OED = Area of EFCD
Area of OED = \int_{0}^{a}ydx = \int_{0}^{a}\sqrt xdx = \left [ \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]_0^{a}= \frac{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{2a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}
Area of EFCD = \int_{a}^{4}ydx = \int_{a}^{4}\sqrt xdx = \left [ \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]_a^{4}= \frac{4^{\frac{3}{2}}-a^\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{2(8-a^\frac{3}{2})}{3}=\frac{2(8-a^\frac{3}{2})}{3}
Area of OED = Area of EFCD
\frac{2a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}= \frac{2(8-a^{\frac{3}{2}})}{3}\\ \\ 2a^\frac{3}{2} = 8\\ a^\frac{3}{2} = 4\\ a = (4)^\frac{2}{3}
Therefore, the value of a is a = (4)^\frac{2}{3}

Question:9 Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola \small y=x^2 and \small y=|x| .

Answer:

We can clearly see that given area is symmetrical about y-axis
Therefore,
Area of OCAO = Area of OBDO
Point of intersection of y=x^2 \ and \ y = |x| is (1 , 1) and (-1 , 1)
Now,
Area od OCAO = Area OAM - Area of OCMO
Area of OAM = \frac{1}{2}.OM.AM = \frac{1}{2}.1.1 = \frac{1}{2}
Area of OCMO = \int_{0}^{1}ydx= \int_{0}^{1}x^2dx= \left [ \frac{x^3}{3} \right ]_{0}^{1}= \frac{1}{3}
Therefore,
Area od OCAO =\frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{3}= \frac{1}{6}
Now,
Area of the region bounded by the parabola \small y=x^2 and \small y=|x| is = 2 X Area od OCAO =2\times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3} Units

Question: 10 Find the area bounded by the curve \small x^2=4y and the line \small x=4y-2 .

Answer:

Points of intersections of y = x^2 \ and \ x = 4y-2 is
A\left ( -1,\frac{1}{4} \right ) \ and \ B(2,1)
Now,
Area of OBAO = Area of OBCO + Area of OCAO
Area of OBCO = Area of OMBCO- Area of OMBO

Area of OMBCO = \int_{0}^{2}ydx = \int_{0}^{2}\frac{x+2}{4}dx = \left [ \frac{x^2}{8} \right ]_{0}^{2}+\left [ \frac{x}{2} \right ]_{0}^{2}= \frac{4}{8}+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

Area of OMBO = \int_{0}^{2}ydx = \int_{0}^{2}\frac{x^2}{4}dx = \left [ \frac{x^3}{12} \right ]_{0}^{2}= \frac{8}{12}= \frac{2}{3}

Area of OBCO = Area of OMBCO- Area of OMBO
= \frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{3}= \frac{5}{6}
Similarly,
Area of OCAO = Area of OCALO - Area of OALO

Area of OCALO = \int_{-1}^{0}ydx = \int_{-1}^{0}\frac{x+2}{4}dx = \left [ \frac{x^2}{8} \right ]_{-1}^{0}+\left [ \frac{x}{2} \right ]_{-1}^{0}=- \frac{1}{8}-\frac{(-1)}{2}=-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{8}

Area of OALO = \int_{-1}^{0}ydx = \int_{-1}^{0}\frac{x^2}{4}dx = \left [ \frac{x^3}{12} \right ]_{-1}^{0}= -\frac{(-1)}{12}= \frac{1}{12}

Area of OCAO = Area of OCALO - Area of OALO
=\frac{3}{8}- \frac{1}{12}= \frac{9-2}{24}= \frac{7}{24}
Now,
Area of OBAO = Area of OBCO + Area of OCAO
=\frac{5}{6}+ \frac{7}{24}= \frac{20+7}{24}= \frac{27}{24} = \frac{9}{8}

Therefore, area bounded by the curve \small x^2=4y and the line \small x=4y-2 is \frac{9}{8} \ units

Question: 11 Find the area of the region bounded by the curve \small y^2=4x and the line \small x=3 .

Answer:
The combined figure of the curve y^2=4x and x=3
15947265752881594726573011
The required are is OABCO, and it is symmetrical about the horizontal axis.
Therefore, Area of OABCO = 2 \times Area of OAB
\\=2[\int_{0}^{3}ydx]\\ =2\int^3_02\sqrt{x}dx\\ =4[\frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2}]^3_0\\ =8\sqrt{3}
therefore the required area is 8\sqrt{3} units.

15947268860371594726883361
The required area = area of OAB
\int^2_0ydx = \int^2_0\sqrt{4-x^2}dx
\\=[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}]^2_0\\ =2(\pi/2)\\ =\pi

Question: 13 Choose the correct answer in the following.

15947271505371594727147434
the required area = OAB =
\\\int ^3_0xdy\\ =\int ^3_0\frac{y^2}{4}dy\\ =\frac{1}{4}.[\frac{y^3}{3}]^3_0\\ =\frac{9}{4}
