Sketch the region bounded by the curves straight y equals square root of 5 minus straight x squared end root space and space straight y space equals open vertical bar straight x minus 1 close vertical bar and find its area using integration. 


Consider the given equation. 
straight y equals square root of 5 minus straight x squared end root
This equation represents a semicircle with centre at the origin and radius  = square root of 5 space units
Given that the region is bounded by the above semicircle and the line straight y equals open vertical bar straight x minus 1 close vertical bar
Let us find the point of intersection of the given curve meets the line straight y equals open vertical bar straight x minus 1 close vertical bar
rightwards double arrow square root of 5 minus straight x squared end root space equals space open vertical bar straight x minus 1 close vertical bar
Squaring both the sides, we have,

5 minus straight x squared space equals open vertical bar straight x minus 1 close vertical bar squared
rightwards double arrow 5 minus straight x squared space equals space straight x squared plus 1 minus 2 straight x
rightwards double arrow 2 straight x squared minus 2 straight x minus 5 plus 1 space equals space 0
rightwards double arrow 2 straight x squared minus 2 straight x minus 4 space equals space 0
rightwards double arrow straight x squared minus straight x minus 2 space equals 0
rightwards double arrow space straight x squared minus 2 straight x plus straight x minus 2 space equals 0
rightwards double arrow straight x left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis equals 0
rightwards double arrow left parenthesis straight x plus 1 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis space equals space 0
rightwards double arrow straight x space equals negative 1 comma space straight x space equals space 2
When space straight x space equals space minus 1 comma space space straight y space equals space 2
When space straight x space equals space 2 comma space space straight y space equals space 1
Consider the following figure
Thus the intersection points are 1,2 and 2,1 ( ) ( ) Consider the following sketch of the bounded region.
