Interpret the region
We need the area of
S={(x,y):2y−y2≤x2≤2y,x≥y}.
So the point must satisfy both:
x2≤2y⟹y≥2x2,
x2≥2y−y2.
Rewrite the second inequality:
x2≥2y−y2=1−(y−1)2.
Equivalently,
x2+(y−1)2≥1.
So the region lies outside the circle centered at (0,1) with radius 1.
Also, from x2≤2y we must have y≥0.
Finally, we also need
x≥y.
Express in terms of y
For fixed y, the inequalities become
Hence
2y−y2≤∣x∣≤2y,
whenever 2y−y2≥0, i.e. 0≤y≤2.
But because of the condition x≥y, only the positive side can survive. So we take
x≥0,x∈[2y−y2,2y],
with also
x≥y.
Thus for fixed y, the actual lower bound is
x≥max(y,2y−y2),
while upper bound is
x≤2y.
So the horizontal length is
L(y)=2y−max(y,2y−y2).
We must find where y exceeds 2y−y2.
Compare y and 2y−y2
Solve
Squaring:
⟹2y2−2y=0⟹2y(y−1)=0.
Hence
Now for 0<y<1,
2y−y2>y,
and for 1<y≤2,
y>2y−y2.
Therefore,
for 0≤y≤1, lower bound is 2y−y2,
for 1≤y≤2, lower bound is y.
So area is
A=∫01(2y−2y−y2)dy+∫12(2y−y)dy.
Evaluate the first integral
Let
First term:
∫012ydy=2∫01y1/2dy=2⋅32=322.
Second term:
2y−y2=1−(y−1)2.
Thus
∫012y−y2dy=∫011−(y−1)2dy.
This is the area of a quarter of the unit circle, so
