Correct answer: D

  1. Interpret the region

We need the area of

{(x,y):∣x−y∣≤y≤4x}.\{(x,y): |x-y|\le y \le 4\sqrt{x}\}.{(x,y):∣x−y∣≤y≤4x​}.

So the point (x,y)(x,y)(x,y) must satisfy both:

  • ∣x−y∣≤y|x-y|\le y∣x−y∣≤y
  • y≤4xy\le 4\sqrt{x}y≤4x​

Since 4x4\sqrt{x}4x​ is real, we must have x≥0x\ge 0x≥0.

Also, from ∣x−y∣≤y|x-y|\le y∣x−y∣≤y, we must have y≥0y\ge 0y≥0.


  1. Simplify the inequality ∣x−y∣≤y|x-y|\le y∣x−y∣≤y

Because y≥0y\ge 0y≥0, we can write

−y≤x−y≤y.-y \le x-y \le y.−y≤x−y≤y.

Add yyy throughout:

0≤x≤2y.0 \le x \le 2y.0≤x≤2y.

Equivalently,

y≥x2.y \ge \frac{x}{2}.y≥2x​.

So the region is described by

x2≤y≤4x,x≥0.\frac{x}{2} \le y \le 4\sqrt{x}, \quad x\ge 0.2x​≤y≤4x​,x≥0.
  1. Find the intersection points

For the region to exist, we need

x2≤4x.\frac{x}{2} \le 4\sqrt{x}.2x​≤4x​.

Solve:

x≤8x.x \le 8\sqrt{x}.x≤8x​.

Let t=x≥0t=\sqrt{x}\ge 0t=x​≥0. Then x=t2x=t^2x=t2, so

t2≤8t  ⟹  t(t−8)≤0.t^2 \le 8t \implies t(t-8)\le 0.t2≤8t⟹t(t−8)≤0.

Since t≥0t\ge 0t≥0, this gives

0≤t≤8.0\le t\le 8.0≤t≤8.

Hence

0≤x≤64.0\le x\le 64.0≤x≤64.

The curves intersect at:

  • x=0⇒y=0x=0 \Rightarrow y=0x=0⇒y=0
  • x=64⇒y=32x=64 \Rightarrow y=32x=64⇒y=32

  1. Set up the area integral

Area between the upper curve y=4xy=4\sqrt{x}y=4x​ and lower curve y=x2y=\frac{x}{2}y=2x​ from x=0x=0x=0 to x=64x=64x=64 is

A=∫064(4x−x2)dx.A=\int_0^{64}\left(4\sqrt{x}-\frac{x}{2}\right)dx.A=∫064​(4x​−2x​)dx.
  1. Evaluate the integral
A=∫0644x1/2 dx−∫064x2 dx.A=\int_0^{64}4x^{1/2}\,dx - \int_0^{64}\frac{x}{2}\,dx.A=∫064​4x1/2dx−∫064​2x​dx.

First term:

∫0644x1/2dx=4⋅23x3/2∣064=83(64)3/2.\int_0^{64}4x^{1/2}dx = 4\cdot \frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\Big|_0^{64} = \frac{8}{3}(64)^{3/2}.∫064​4x1/2dx=4⋅32​x3/2​064​=38​(64)3/2.

Now,

643/2=(64)3=83=512.64^{3/2}=(\sqrt{64})^3=8^3=512.643/2=(64​)3=83=512.

So

83⋅512=40963.\frac{8}{3}\cdot 512=\frac{4096}{3}.38​⋅512=34096​.

Second term:

∫064x2dx=12⋅x22∣064=6424=40964=1024.\int_0^{64}\frac{x}{2}dx = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{x^2}{2}\Big|_0^{64} =\frac{64^2}{4}=\frac{4096}{4}=1024.∫064​2x​dx=21​⋅2x2​​064​=4642​=44096​=1024.

Therefore,

A=40963−1024=4096−30723=10243.A=\frac{4096}{3}-1024 =\frac{4096-3072}{3} =\frac{1024}{3}.A=34096​−1024=34096−3072​=31024​.
  1. Check options

The area is

10243.\boxed{\frac{1024}{3}}.31024​​.

So the correct option is D.
