  1. Find the parabola y=p(x)y=p(x)y=p(x).

Let p(x)=ax2+bx+c.p(x)=ax^2+bx+c.p(x)=ax2+bx+c. Since it passes through (−1,0),(0,1),(1,0)(-1,0),(0,1),(1,0)(−1,0),(0,1),(1,0):

  • From (0,1)(0,1)(0,1): c=1c=1c=1
  • From (1,0)(1,0)(1,0): a+b+1=0a+b+1=0a+b+1=0
  • From (−1,0)(-1,0)(−1,0): a−b+1=0a-b+1=0a−b+1=0

Adding the last two equations: 2a+2=0  ⟹  a=−1.2a+2=0\implies a=-1.2a+2=0⟹a=−1. Then −1+b+1=0  ⟹  b=0.-1+b+1=0\implies b=0.−1+b+1=0⟹b=0. So, p(x)=1−x2.p(x)=1-x^2.p(x)=1−x2.


  1. Interpret the circle/region.

The inequality (x+1)2+(y−1)2≤1(x+1)^2+(y-1)^2\le 1(x+1)2+(y−1)2≤1 represents a circle of radius 111 centered at (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1).

The required region is the part of this disk satisfying y≤p(x)=1−x2.y\le p(x)=1-x^2.y≤p(x)=1−x2. So we need the area inside the circle and below the parabola.


  1. Find intersection points of the circle and parabola.

Substitute y=1−x2y=1-x^2y=1−x2 into the circle: (x+1)2+(1−x2−1)2=1(x+1)^2 + (1-x^2-1)^2 = 1(x+1)2+(1−x2−1)2=1 (x+1)2+x4=1(x+1)^2 + x^4 = 1(x+1)2+x4=1 x2+2x+1+x4=1x^2+2x+1+x^4=1x2+2x+1+x4=1 x4+x2+2x=0x^4+x^2+2x=0x4+x2+2x=0 x(x3+x+2)=0. x(x^3+x+2)=0.x(x3+x+2)=0. Now x3+x+2=(x+1)(x2−x+2).x^3+x+2=(x+1)(x^2-x+2).x3+x+2=(x+1)(x2−x+2). Hence real roots are

\quad x=-1.$$ Corresponding points are $$(0,1),\quad (-1,0).$$ These are exactly the endpoints of the relevant arc. --- 4. **Write the circle as upper and lower semicircles.** From $$ (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=1,$$ we get $$ y=1\pm \sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}. $$ Inside the disk, for each $x\in[-2,0]$, $$1-\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}\le y\le 1+\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}.$$ We need the portion with $$y\le 1-x^2.$$ So for each $x$, the vertical slice contributes from the lower circle up to the parabola, provided the parabola lies inside the disk. This happens on the interval of intersection: $$x\in[-1,0].$$ Thus $$A=\int_{-1}^{0}\Big[(1-x^2)-\big(1-\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}\big)\Big]dx.$$ So $$A=\int_{-1}^{0}\left(\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}-x^2\right)dx.$$ --- 5. **Evaluate the integral.** Split it: $$A=\int_{-1}^{0}\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}\,dx-\int_{-1}^{0}x^2\,dx.$$ For the first integral, let $$u=x+1.$$ Then when $x=-1$, $u=0$, and when $x=0$, $u=1$. Thus $$\int_{-1}^{0}\sqrt{1-(x+1)^2}\,dx=\int_0^1\sqrt{1-u^2}\,du.$$ This is the area of a quarter circle of radius $1$: $$\int_0^1\sqrt{1-u^2}\,du=\frac{\pi}{4}.$$ Also, $$\int_{-1}^{0}x^2\,dx=\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^{0}=\frac{1}{3}.$$ Hence $$A=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{3}.$$ --- 6. **Compute** $12(\pi-4A)$. First, $$4A=4\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{3}\right)=\pi-\frac{4}{3}.$$ Therefore, $$\pi-4A=\pi-\left(\pi-\frac{4}{3}\right)=\frac{4}{3}.$$ So, $$12(\pi-4A)=12\cdot \frac{4}{3}=16.$$ --- 7. **Final answer** $$\boxed{16}$$ This matches the stored correct answer.
