Interpret the region
We need the area of
{ ( x , y ) : ∣ x − 1 ∣ ≤ y ≤ 5 − x 2 } . \{(x,y): |x-1| \le y \le \sqrt{5-x^2}\}. {( x , y ) : ∣ x − 1∣ ≤ y ≤ 5 − x 2 } .
So the region lies:
above the curve y = ∣ x − 1 ∣ y=|x-1| y = ∣ x − 1∣
below the upper semicircle y = 5 − x 2 y=\sqrt{5-x^2} y = 5 − x 2 , i.e.
x 2 + y 2 = 5 , y ≥ 0. x^2+y^2=5,\quad y\ge 0. x 2 + y 2 = 5 , y ≥ 0.
Thus, area exists only where
∣ x − 1 ∣ ≤ 5 − x 2 . |x-1| \le \sqrt{5-x^2}. ∣ x − 1∣ ≤ 5 − x 2 .
Find intersection points
Solve
∣ x − 1 ∣ = 5 − x 2 . |x-1| = \sqrt{5-x^2}. ∣ x − 1∣ = 5 − x 2 .
Squaring both sides:
( x − 1 ) 2 = 5 − x 2 . (x-1)^2 = 5-x^2. ( x − 1 ) 2 = 5 − x 2 .
Expand:
x 2 − 2 x + 1 = 5 − x 2 x^2-2x+1 = 5-x^2 x 2 − 2 x + 1 = 5 − x 2
2 x 2 − 2 x − 4 = 0 2x^2-2x-4=0 2 x 2 − 2 x − 4 = 0
x 2 − x − 2 = 0 x^2-x-2=0 x 2 − x − 2 = 0
( x − 2 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0. (x-2)(x+1)=0. ( x − 2 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0.
So,
x = − 1 , 2. x=-1,\;2. x = − 1 , 2.
Hence the required area is
∫ − 1 2 ( 5 − x 2 − ∣ x − 1 ∣ ) d x . \int_{-1}^{2}\left(\sqrt{5-x^2}-|x-1|\right)dx. ∫ − 1 2 ( 5 − x 2 − ∣ x − 1∣ ) d x .
Break the absolute value
Since
∣ x − 1 ∣ = { 1 − x , x ≤ 1 , x − 1 , x ≥ 1 , |x-1|=
\begin{cases}
1-x,& x\le 1,\\
x-1,& x\ge 1,
\end{cases} ∣ x − 1∣ = { 1 − x , x − 1 , x ≤ 1 , x ≥ 1 ,
we get
A = ∫ − 1 1 ( 5 − x 2 − ( 1 − x ) ) d x + ∫ 1 2 ( 5 − x 2 − ( x − 1 ) ) d x . A=\int_{-1}^{1}\left(\sqrt{5-x^2}-(1-x)\right)dx
+\int_{1}^{2}\left(\sqrt{5-x^2}-(x-1)\right)dx. A = ∫ − 1 1 ( 5 − x 2 − ( 1 − x ) ) d x + ∫ 1 2 ( 5 − x 2 − ( x − 1 ) ) d x .
Combine the linear parts:
A = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x − [ ∫ − 1 1 ( 1 − x ) d x + ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) d x ] . A=\int_{-1}^{2}\sqrt{5-x^2}\,dx
-\left[\int_{-1}^{1}(1-x)dx+\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)dx\right]. A = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x − [ ∫ − 1 1 ( 1 − x ) d x + ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) d x ] .
Now,
∫ − 1 1 ( 1 − x ) d x = [ x − x 2 2 ] − 1 1 = 2 , \int_{-1}^{1}(1-x)dx=\left[x-\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{-1}^{1}=2, ∫ − 1 1 ( 1 − x ) d x = [ x − 2 x 2 ] − 1 1 = 2 ,
and
∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) d x = [ x 2 2 − x ] 1 2 = 1 2 . \int_{1}^{2}(x-1)dx=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}-x\right]_{1}^{2}=\frac12. ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) d x = [ 2 x 2 − x ] 1 2 = 2 1 .
So total subtraction is
2 + 1 2 = 5 2 . 2+\frac12=\frac52. 2 + 2 1 = 2 5 .
Thus,
A = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x − 5 2 . A=\int_{-1}^{2}\sqrt{5-x^2}\,dx-\frac52. A = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x − 2 5 .
Evaluate the semicircle integral
Use the standard formula
∫ a 2 − x 2 d x = x 2 a 2 − x 2 + a 2 2 sin − 1 ( x a ) . \int \sqrt{a^2-x^2}\,dx=\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right). ∫ a 2 − x 2 d x = 2 x a 2 − x 2 + 2 a 2 sin − 1 ( a x ) .
Here a = 5 a=\sqrt5 a = 5 , so
∫ 5 − x 2 d x = x 2 5 − x 2 + 5 2 sin − 1 ( x 5 ) . \int \sqrt{5-x^2}\,dx=\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{5-x^2}+\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt5}\right). ∫ 5 − x 2 d x = 2 x 5 − x 2 + 2 5 sin − 1 ( 5 x ) .
Therefore,
I = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x I=\int_{-1}^{2}\sqrt{5-x^2}\,dx I = ∫ − 1 2 5 − x 2 d x
is
I = [ x 2 5 − x 2 + 5 2 sin − 1 ( x 5 ) ] − 1 2 . I=\left[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{5-x^2}+\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt5}\right)\right]_{-1}^{2}. I = [ 2 x 5 − x 2 + 2 5 sin − 1 ( 5 x ) ] − 1 2 .
At x = 2 x=2 x = 2 :
2 2 1 = 1 , \frac{2}{2}\sqrt{1}=1, 2 2 1 = 1 ,
so contribution is
1 + 5 2 sin − 1 ( 2 5 ) . 1+\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt5}\right). 1 + 2 5 sin − 1 ( 5 2 ) .
At x = − 1 x=-1 x = − 1 :
− 1 2 4 = − 1 , \frac{-1}{2}\sqrt{4}=-1, 2 − 1 4 = − 1 ,
and contribution is
− 1 + 5 2 sin − 1 ( − 1 5 ) = − 1 − 5 2 sin − 1 ( 1 5 ) . -1+\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt5}\right)
=-1-\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt5}\right). − 1 + 2 5 sin − 1 ( 5 − 1 ) = − 1 − 2 5 sin − 1 ( 5 1 ) .
Hence
I = 2 + 5 2 [ sin − 1 ( 2 5 ) + sin − 1 ( 1 5 ) ] . I=2+\frac{5}{2}\left[\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt5}\right)+\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt5}\right)\right]. I = 2 + 2 5 [ sin − 1 ( 5 2 ) + sin − 1 ( 5 1 ) ] .
Now let
α = sin − 1 ( 2 5 ) , β = sin − 1 ( 1 5 ) . \alpha=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt5}\right),
\qquad
\beta=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt5}\right). α = sin − 1 ( 5 2 ) , β = sin − 1 ( 5 1 ) .
Then
sin α = 2 5 , cos α = 1 5 , \sin\alpha=\frac{2}{\sqrt5},\quad \cos\alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt5}, sin α = 5 2 , cos α = 5 1 ,
sin β = 1 5 , cos β = 2 5 . \sin\beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt5},\quad \cos\beta=\frac{2}{\sqrt5}. sin β = 5 1 , cos β = 5 2 .
So
α + β = π 2 . \alpha+\beta=\frac{\pi}{2}. α + β = 2 π .
Thus
I = 2 + 5 2 ⋅ π 2 = 2 + 5 π 4 . I=2+\frac{5}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi}{2}=2+\frac{5\pi}{4}. I = 2 + 2 5 ⋅ 2 π = 2 + 4 5 π .
Therefore,
A = ( 2 + 5 π 4 ) − 5 2 = 5 π 4 − 1 2 . A=\left(2+\frac{5\pi}{4}\right)-\frac52
=\frac{5\pi}{4}-\frac12. A = ( 2 + 4 5 π ) − 2 5 = 4 5 π − 2 1 .
Match with the options
A = 5 π 4 − 1 2 \boxed{A=\frac{5\pi}{4}-\frac12} A = 4 5 π − 2 1
which is Option D .
