Using integration, find the area of the smaller region bounded by the curve and the straight line
Find the area of smaller region bounded by the ellipse and the straight line
Consider the equations
...(1)
and ...(2)
Line (2) meets ellipse (1) in A (a, 0) and B (0, b)
Area of shaded region = Area of region OAB area of ∆OAB
which is required area.
