Sketch the graphs of the curve y2 = x and y2 = 4 - 3x and find the area enclosed between them.
y2 = 4 - 3x ...(i)
y2 = x ...(ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
4x = 4, x = 1

Find the area bounded by the curve y = 2x - x2, and the line y = x
Solving, x = y, y = 2x - x2,
2x - x2 = x
x2 - x = 0
x = 0, 1

Find the area of the region bound by the curves y = 6x - x2 and y - x2 - 2x.
The curve y = 6x - x2
Therefore, y = -(x - 3)2 + 9
y = -(x - 3)2 + 9 represents parabola with vertex at (3, 9) and it opens downward.
The curve y = x2 - 2x = (x - 1)2 - 1
y = (x - 1)2 - 1 represents a parabola with vertex at (1, - 1) and it opens upward.
Both the curves pass through origin and intersect in the first quadrant at (4, 8)
