Given region is
Consider the equations
...(1)
i.e., ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we get,
Rejecting negative values of x, we get
which gives the abscissa of the points of intersection P and Q.
Required area = Area of shaded region
= 2 [area of region APOA]
= 2 [area of region AMPA + area of region MOPM ]
=
=
Using integration, find the area of the smaller region bounded by the curve and the straight line
