Correct answer: D

  1. Write both curves in terms of xxx

The given curves are: x+2y2=0⇒x=−2y2x+2y^2=0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=-2y^2x+2y2=0⇒x=−2y2 x+3y2=1⇒x=1−3y2x+3y^2=1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=1-3y^2x+3y2=1⇒x=1−3y2

So the region is bounded between the parabolas:

  • left/right curve: x=−2y2x=-2y^2x=−2y2
  • left/right curve: x=1−3y2x=1-3y^2x=1−3y2
  1. Find the points of intersection

At intersection points, −2y2=1−3y2-2y^2=1-3y^2−2y2=1−3y2 y2=1y^2=1y2=1 y=±1y=\pm 1y=±1

Corresponding xxx values: x=−2(1)=−2x=-2(1)=-2x=−2(1)=−2 So the curves intersect at (−2,1)(-2,1)(−2,1) and (−2,−1)(-2,-1)(−2,−1).

  1. Determine which curve is on the right

For a fixed yyy between −1-1−1 and 111, x1=−2y2,x2=1−3y2x_1=-2y^2, \qquad x_2=1-3y^2x1​=−2y2,x2​=1−3y2 Now, x2−x1=(1−3y2)−(−2y2)=1−y2x_2-x_1=(1-3y^2)-(-2y^2)=1-y^2x2​−x1​=(1−3y2)−(−2y2)=1−y2 Since −1≤y≤1-1\le y\le 1−1≤y≤1, we have 1−y2≥01-y^2\ge 01−y2≥0. Thus, 1−3y2≥−2y21-3y^2 \ge -2y^21−3y2≥−2y2 so the right curve is x=1−3y2x=1-3y^2x=1−3y2 and the left curve is x=−2y2x=-2y^2x=−2y2.

  1. Set up the area integral

Area between curves when integrating with respect to yyy is: A=∫−11(right−left) dyA=\int_{-1}^{1}\big(\text{right} - \text{left}\big)\,dyA=∫−11​(right−left)dy Hence, A=∫−11[(1−3y2)−(−2y2)]dyA=\int_{-1}^{1}\left[(1-3y^2)-(-2y^2)\right]dyA=∫−11​[(1−3y2)−(−2y2)]dy A=∫−11(1−y2) dyA=\int_{-1}^{1}(1-y^2)\,dyA=∫−11​(1−y2)dy

  1. Evaluate the integral

A=∫−11(1−y2) dyA=\int_{-1}^{1}(1-y^2)\,dyA=∫−11​(1−y2)dy =[y−y33]−11=\left[y-\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^{1}=[y−3y3​]−11​

At y=1y=1y=1: 1−13=231-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}1−31​=32​ At y=−1y=-1y=−1: −1−(−13)=−23-1-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-\frac{2}{3}−1−(−31​)=−32​

Therefore, A=23−(−23)=43A=\frac{2}{3}-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)=\frac{4}{3}A=32​−(−32​)=34​

  1. Match with the options

43\boxed{\frac{4}{3}}34​​ So the correct option is D.
