Correct answer: NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTIONS, $32\SQRT{3}+8\SQRT{6}-54$
- Given curves
We need the area bounded by and the line
- Write the modulus function piecewise
Since
\begin{cases} 9-x^2, & |x|\le 3,\\ x^2-9, & |x|\ge 3. \end{cases}$$ So the curve is: - downward parabola $y=9-x^2$ between $x=-3$ and $x=3$, - upward branches $y=x^2-9$ for $|x|\ge 3$. 3. **Find points of intersection with $y=3$** We solve $$|x^2-9|=3.$$ This gives two cases: - $x^2-9=3 \Rightarrow x^2=12 \Rightarrow x=\pm 2\sqrt3$, - $x^2-9=-3 \Rightarrow x^2=6 \Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt6$. Thus the line $y=3$ meets the curve at $$x=\pm \sqrt6,\quad x=\pm 2\sqrt3.$$ 4. **Identify the bounded regions** Because of symmetry about the $y$-axis, the total bounded area is twice the area on the right side. On the right side: - from $x=\sqrt6$ to $x=3$, the curve is $y=9-x^2$, which lies above $y=3$, - from $x=3$ to $x=2\sqrt3$, the curve is $y=x^2-9$, which lies below $y=3$. Hence right-side area is $$\int_{\sqrt6}^{3} \big[(9-x^2)-3\big]dx + \int_{3}^{2\sqrt3} \big[3-(x^2-9)\big]dx.$$ So total area: $$A=2\left[\int_{\sqrt6}^{3} (6-x^2)\,dx + \int_{3}^{2\sqrt3} (12-x^2)\,dx\right].$$ 5. **Evaluate the first integral** $$\int (6-x^2)dx=6x-\frac{x^3}{3}.$$ Therefore, $$\int_{\sqrt6}^{3}(6-x^2)dx= \left[6x-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{\sqrt6}^{3}.$$ At $x=3$: $$6(3)-\frac{27}{3}=18-9=9.$$ At $x=\sqrt6$: $$6\sqrt6-\frac{(\sqrt6)^3}{3}=6\sqrt6-\frac{6\sqrt6}{3}=6\sqrt6-2\sqrt6=4\sqrt6.$$ So, $$\int_{\sqrt6}^{3}(6-x^2)dx=9-4\sqrt6.$$ 6. **Evaluate the second integral** $$\int (12-x^2)dx=12x-\frac{x^3}{3}.$$ Thus, $$\int_{3}^{2\sqrt3}(12-x^2)dx= \left[12x-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{3}^{2\sqrt3}.$$ At $x=2\sqrt3$: $$(2\sqrt3)^3=24\sqrt3,$$ so $$12(2\sqrt3)-\frac{24\sqrt3}{3}=24\sqrt3-8\sqrt3=16\sqrt3.$$ At $x=3$: $$12(3)-\frac{27}{3}=36-9=27.$$ Hence, $$\int_{3}^{2\sqrt3}(12-x^2)dx=16\sqrt3-27.$$ 7. **Total area** So, $$A=2\Big[(9-4\sqrt6)+(16\sqrt3-27)\Big].$$ $$A=2(16\sqrt3-4\sqrt6-18).$$ $$A=32\sqrt3-8\sqrt6-36.$$ Factorizing, $$A=4(8\sqrt3-2\sqrt6-9).$$ 8. **Compare with options** The options are: - A: $4(2\sqrt3+\sqrt6-4)$ - B: $4(4\sqrt3+\sqrt6-4)$ - C: $8(4\sqrt3+3\sqrt6-9)$ - D: $8(4\sqrt3+2\sqrt6-9)$ Our result $$A=32\sqrt3-8\sqrt6-36=8(4\sqrt3-\sqrt6-\tfrac{9}{2}),$$ which matches **none** of the given options. 9. **Check for algebra/sign mistakes** A quick numerical check: $$\sqrt3\approx 1.732,\quad \sqrt6\approx 2.449.$$ Then $$A\approx 32(1.732)-8(2.449)-36\approx 55.424-19.592-36\approx -0.168?$$ This indicates an arithmetic slip in simplification, so let us recompute carefully. From step 6: $$16\sqrt3-27\approx 27.712-27=0.712,$$ and from step 5: $$9-4\sqrt6\approx 9-9.798=-0.798.$$ That is impossible for area, so the first integrand was chosen on the wrong interval sign-wise. 10. **Correct region setup** For $|x|<3$, curve is $y=9-x^2$. This is above $y=3$ when $$9-x^2>3 \Rightarrow x^2<6 \Rightarrow |x|<\sqrt6.$$ So the bounded central region is from $x=-\sqrt6$ to $x=\sqrt6$. For $|x|>3$, curve is $y=x^2-9$. This is below $y=3$ when $$x^2-9<3 \Rightarrow x^2<12 \Rightarrow |x|<2\sqrt3.$$ Together with $|x|>3$, this gives side bounded regions on $$3\le |x|\le 2\sqrt3.$$ Thus total area is sum of: - central region between $x=-\sqrt6$ and $x=\sqrt6$, - two side regions between $x=3$ and $x=2\sqrt3$ and symmetrically on the left. 11. **Compute correctly** Central area: $$A_1=\int_{-\sqrt6}^{\sqrt6}\big[(9-x^2)-3\big]dx =\int_{-\sqrt6}^{\sqrt6}(6-x^2)dx.$$ Using symmetry, $$A_1=2\int_0^{\sqrt6}(6-x^2)dx =2\left[6x-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^{\sqrt6}.Now so
Side areas:
=2\int_3^{2\sqrt3}(12-x^2)dx.$$ From above, $$\int_3^{2\sqrt3}(12-x^2)dx=16\sqrt3-27,$$ therefore $$A_2=2(16\sqrt3-27)=32\sqrt3-54.$$ Hence total area: $$A=A_1+A_2=8\sqrt6+32\sqrt3-54.$$ Factor out $2$: $$A=2(4\sqrt6+16\sqrt3-27).$$ Or more neatly, $$A=2\big(16\sqrt3+4\sqrt6-27\big).$$ 12. **Compare with options again** Option D is $$8(4\sqrt3+2\sqrt6-9)=32\sqrt3+16\sqrt6-72,$$ which is **not equal** to our result. Our computed area is $$\boxed{32\sqrt3+8\sqrt6-54}.$$ This matches **none** of the listed options, so the stored answer appears incorrect.More from Area Under the Curves
