Correct answer: 5
- Write the given curves in convenient form
The parabola is
The line is
We are also given the positive coordinate axes, i.e. and .
- Find relevant intersection points
(a) Parabola with -axis
On the -axis, :
So point is .
(b) Line with -axis
On the -axis, :
This is not on the positive -axis, so not relevant.
(c) Line with -axis
On the -axis, :
So point is .
(d) Parabola with -axis
On the -axis, :
which has no real solution. So parabola does not meet the -axis.
(e) Parabola with line
Solve
Expanding:
Thus , and then
So they touch at .
- Understand the enclosed region
The boundary of the enclosed region in the first quadrant is:
- along the -axis from to ,
- along the parabola from to ,
- along the line from to ,
- along the -axis from to .
For integration with respect to :
- from to , left boundary is and right boundary is parabola .
- from to , left boundary is line and right boundary is parabola .
So area is
- Evaluate the first integral
Hence
Antiderivative:
Thus
- Evaluate the second integral
Simplify the integrand:
So
Let . Then this is standard:
Hence
- Total area
So the required enclosed area is
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer:
Our derived answer is also , so they agree.
