Find the area of the region between the parabola x = 4y – y2 and the line x = 2y – 3.
Given: - Two equation; Parabola x = 4y – y2 and Line x = 2y – 3
Now to find an area between these two curves, we have to find a common area or the shaded part.
From figure, we can see that,
Area of shaded portion = Area under the parabolic curve – Area under line
Now, Intersection points;
From parabola and line equation equate x, we get
⇒ 4y – y2 =2y – 3
⇒ y2 – 2y – 3 = 0
⇒ y2 – 3y + y – 3 = 0
⇒ y(y – 3) + 1(y – 3)
⇒ (y + 1)(y – 3)
⇒ y = – 1,3
So, by putting the value of x in any curve equation, we get,
⇒ x = 2y – 3
For y = – 1
⇒ x = 2( – 1) – 3
⇒ x = – 5
For
y = 3
⇒ x = 2(3) – 3
⇒ x = 3
Therefore two intersection points coordinates are ( – 5, – 1) and (3, 3)
Area of the bounded region
= (Area under the parabola curve from – 1 to 3) – (Area under line from – 1 to 3)
Tip: -Take limits as per strips. If strip is horizontal than take y limits or if integrating with respect to y then limits are of y.
Here, limits are for y i.e from - 1 to 3.
Now putting limits, we get

Given: - Two equation;
Parabola x = 8 + 2y – y2 ,
y - axis,
Line1 y = – 1, and Line2 y = 3
Now to find the area between these four curves, we have to find a common area (ABDC) or the shaded part.
The 1st intersection of a parabola with line y = – 1, we get,
Putting the value of y = 1 in parabolic equation
⇒ x = 8 + 2y – y2
⇒ x = 8 + 2( – 1) – 1
⇒ x = 5
Hence intersection point is D(5, – 1)
The 2nd intersection of parabola with y = 3
Putting the value of y in parabola equation
⇒ x = 8 + 2y – y2
⇒ x = 8 + 2(3) – 32
⇒ x = 8 + 6 – 9
⇒ x = 5
Hence, intersection point is C(5,3)
and other points are A(0,3), B(0, – 1)
From the figure, we can see that, By taking a horizontal strip
The areaunder shaded portion = Area under parabola from y =– 1 to y = 3.
Tip: -Take limits as per strips. If strip is horizontal than take y limits or if integrating concerning y then limits are of y.
Here, limits are for y i.e. from – 1 to 3
Now putting limits, we get,
Find the area bounded by the parabola y2 = 4x and the line y = 2x – 4.
(i) By using horizontal strips
(ii) By using vertical strips.
Given: - Two curves are y2 = 4x and y = 2x – 4
Now to find the area between these two curves, we have to find common area i.e. Shaded portion
Intersection of parabola y2 = 4x with line y = 2x – 4
Putting the value of y from the equation of a line in parabola equation, we get,
y2 = 4x
⇒ (2x – 4)2 = 4x
⇒ 4x2 – 16x + 16 = 4x
⇒ 4x2 – 20x + 16 = 0
⇒ 4x2 – 16x – 4x + 16 = 0
⇒ 4x(x – 4) – 4(x – 4) = 0
⇒ 4(x – 1)(x – 4) = 0
⇒ (x – 1)(x – 4) = 0
⇒ x = 1,4
When x = 1, y = √4x
⇒ y = + 2, – 2; we take – 2 as the intersection is in the 4th quadrant and when x = 4, y = √4x
⇒ y = + 4, – 4; we take + 4 as the intersection is in 1st quadrant
Therefore intersection points are B(4,4) and C(1, – 2)
Area of the bounded region, taking strips
i) By using horizontal strips
Therefore, limits are for y and integrating with respect to y
Area bounded by region = {Area under line from – 2 to 4} –{Area under parabola from – 2 to 4}
Putting limits, we get
ii) By using vertical strips.
Therefore, limits are for x, and integrating with respect to x
Area bounded by region = {2(Area under parabola from 0 to 1) + (Area under parabola from 1 to 4)} – {Area under line from 1 to 4}
Tip: - Parabola is symmetrical about x - axis therefore its area is twice the area above x - axis. So, till its latus rectum i.e here a = 1, area is twice the area above x - axis.
Putting limits, we get,
Hence from both methods we get same answer

Two equation;
Parabola y2 = 2x and
Line x – y = 4
Now to find an area between these two curves, we have to find a common area or the shaded part.
From figure we can see that,
Area of shaded portion = Area under line curve – Area under parabola; horizontal strip
Now, Intersection points;
From parabola and line equation equate y, x – 4 = y we get
⇒ y2 = 2x
⇒ (x – 4)2 = 2x
⇒ x2 – 8x + 16 = 2x
⇒ x2 – 10x + 16 = 0
⇒ x2 – 8x – 2x + 16 = 0
⇒ x(x – 8) – 2(x – 8) = 0
⇒ (x – 8)(x – 2) = 0
⇒ x = 8,2
So, by putting the value of x in any curve equation, we get,
⇒ y = x – 4
For x = 8
⇒ y = 8 – 4
⇒ y = 4
For x = 2
⇒ y = 2 – 4
⇒ y = – 2
Therefore, two intersection points coordinates are (8, 4) and (2, – 2)
Area of the bounded region
= Area under the line curve from – 2 to 4 – Area under parabola from – 2 to 4
Tip: -Take limits as per strips. If the strip is horizontal than take y limits or if integrating with respect to y then limits are of y.
Area bounded by region = {Area under line from – 2 to 4} – {Area under parabola from – 2 to 4}
Putting limits, we get
= 6 + 24 – 12
= 18 sq units
If the area above the x-axis, bounded by the curves y = 2kx and x = 0, and x = 2 is then the value of k is
A. 1/2
B. 1
C. –1
D. 2
The area can be computed as –
Comparing with
⇒ 4k = 3k + 1
Using Binomial Theorem,
This equality holds only when k = 1, because only then you get two terms in the expansion.
Ans: k = 1
The area of the region bounded by the parabola (y – 2)2 =x – 1, the tangent to it at the point with the ordinate 3 and the x-axis is
A. 3
B. 6
C. 7
D. none of these
The question describes something like –
To solve the problem, we need to find the points 1, 2, and 3 first. They are the key to setting up the bounds of our integration and understanding what function to integrate.
For point 1:-
We know it is a point on the parabola with ordinate 3, at which the tangent to the parabola is taken.
Plugging in y = 3 into the equation for the parabola (y – 2)2 = x – 1,
(3 – 2)2 = x – 1
⇒ 1 = x – 1
⇒ x = 2
So, Point 1 is (2, 3)
For point 2:-
We need to find the point of intersection of the parabola and the x – axis.
We know that ordinate at this point is 0.
Plugging in y = 0 into the equation for the parabola (y – 2)2 = x – 1,
(0 – 2)2 = x – 1
⇒ 4 = x – 1
⇒ x = 5
So, Point 2 is (5, 0)
For point 3:-
Tangent at any point (x1, y1) for a curve is –
y – y1 = (x – x1)
For parabola (y – 2)2 = x – 1, differentiating both sides of the equation –
2(y – 2) = 1
⇒
So, slope at point 1, i.e., (2, 3) is –
So, equation of tangent at (2, 3) is –
y – 3 = � (x – 2)
⇒ 2y – 6 = x – 2
⇒ x – 2y + 4 = 0
The tangent intersects the x – axis at point 3. At this point, ordinate is 0.
So, plugging y = 0 in the equation of the tangent x – 2y + 4 = 0, -
x – 2 �0 + 4 = 0
⇒ x = -4
So, point 3 is (-4, 0).
Now, that we have the 3 points, let’s figure out how to compute the area required.
The area we need can be divided into 3 sections –
i. x = -4 to x = 1
Here, area required = area enclosed by the tangent and the x – axis
ii. x = 1 to x = 2
Here, area required = (area enclosed by the tangent and the x – axis) – (area enclosed within the parabola)
iii. x = 2 to x = 5
Here, area required = area enclosed by the parabola and the x – axis
The parabola is (y – 2)2 = x – 1
Solving for y,
y = 2 ± √(x – 1)
So, area A we need is –
(Ans)
The area included between the parabolas y2 = 4x and x2 = 4y is (in square units)
A. 4/3
B. 1/3
C. 16/3
D. 8/3
The blue area is what we need to compute. To do that we need the bounds, i.e., where the area starts and where it ends. At the points of intersection, both the equations are satisfied.
This means that at points of intersection
y2 = 4x
(from the other equation)
Let us solve this.
x4 = 64x
⇒ x(x3 – 64) = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x3 = 64, i.e, x = 4
So the points of intersection are (0,0) and (4,4)
Now, let’s compute the area.
If we integrate w.r.t x, we’ll have to integrate the space between the two curves from x = 0 to x =4.
i.e.,
(Ans)
The area bounded by the curve y = loge x and x-axis and the straight line x = e is
A. e sq. units
B. 1 sq. units
C.
D.
We need to find the area of the blue shaded region.
At, x = 1, y = loge(1) = 0
And, at x = e, y = loge(e) = 1
These are our bounds.
So, this will be computed as –
Using Integration by parts,
=[e – e – 0 + 1]
= 1 (Ans)
The area bounded by y = 2 – x2 and x + y = 0 is
A.
B.
C. 9 sq. units
D. none of these
- the blue shaded region above
To define the bounds, we need to find the points of intersection. We know that at the points of intersection, both the equations are satisfied.
⇒ x + y = 0
⇒ x + (2 – x2) = 0 (from the other equation)
So, x2 – x – 2 = 0 i.e., (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0 or x = -1,2
So, bounds are x = -1 to x = 2
Therefore, area shall be evaluated as –
(Ans)
The area bounded by the parabola x = 4 – y2 and y-axis, in square units, is
A. 3/32
B. 32/3
C. 33/2
D. 16/3
Is the blue shaded region.
At points of intersection on y-axis, x = 0
So, equation becomes 0 = 4 – y2 or y = -2, 2
This becomes our bounds, and we integrate w.r.t. the y-axis –
(Ans)
If An be the area bounded by the curve y = (tan x)n and the lines x = 0, y = 0 and x = π/4, then for x > 2
A.
B.
C.
D. none of these
Now, let u = tan x du = sec2 x dx
When x = 0, u = 0 and when x= π/4, u = 1
So,
Ans:
The area of the region formed by x2 + y2 – 6x – 4y + 12 ≤ 0, y ≤ x and x ≤ 5/2 is
A.
B.
C.
D. none of these
x2 + y2 – 6x – 4y + 12 ≤ 0 can be written as –
x2 – 6x + 9 – 9 +y2 – 4y + 4 – 4 + 12 ≤ 0
i.e., (x - 3)2 + (y – 2)2 ≤ 1
So, this indicates the area enclosed by a circle centred at (3,2) with radius 1.
Now, the area of the region formed by x2 + y2 – 6x – 4y + 12 ≤ 0, y ≤ x and x ≤ 5/2 is
So, our bounds are x = 2 to x = 2.5
The equation for the ordinate of point on the circle from x = 2 to x = 2.5 –
(x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 1
(y – 2)2 = 1 – (x – 3)2
y – 2 = y = 2
Since we are considering the lower value of y in x = 2 to x = 2.5 (the one in y ≤ x),
y = 2 -
So, the area is –
(Ans)
The area enclosed between the curves y =loge (x + e), x = logeand the x-axis is
A. 2
B. 1
C. 4
D. none of these
y =loge (x + e) and x = loge look like –
The curves intersect at (0, 1)
(Putting x = 0 in the 2 curves, y = loge(e) = 1 and 0 = loge(1/y),
i.e., y = 1/e0 = 1)
So, bounds are x = 1 – e to x = 0 for the first curve and then x = 0 to apparently x = ∞ for the second curve.
Therefore,
(Ans)
The area bounded by the curves y = sin x between the ordinates x = 0, x = π and the x-axis is
A. 2 sq. units
B. 4 sq. units
C. 3 sq. units
D. 1 sq. units
This is as simple as –
A =
=
= [-(-1) + 1]
= 2 (Ans)

A.
B.
C.
D.
This problem is the generalized form of question 2.
Let’s proceed to solve it similarly –
We need the bounds, i.e., where the area starts and where it ends. At the points of intersection, both the equations are satisfied.
This means that at points of intersection
y2 = 4ax
(from the other equation)
Let us solve this.
x4 = 64a3x
⇒ x(x3 – 64a3) = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x3 = 64a3, i.e, x = 4a
So the points of intersection are (0,0) and (4a,4a)
Now, let’s compute the area.
If we integrate w.r.t x, we’ll have to integrate the space between the two curves from x = 0 to x =4a.
i.e.,
(Ans)
The area bounded by the curve y = x4 – 2x3 + x2 + 3 with x-axis and ordinates corresponding to the minima of y is
A. 1
B. 91/30
C. 30/9
D. 4
y = x4 – 2x3 + x2 + 3
⇒ y’ = 4x3 – 6x2 + 2x
At extrema of y, y’ = 0
i.e., 4x3 – 6x2 + 2x = 0
or, 2x3 – 3x2 + x = 0
⇒ x(2x – 1)(x – 1) = 0
i.e., x = 0, x = 1/2 and x = 1 correspond to extrema of y
Now, y’’ = 12x2 – 12x + 2
y’’0 = 2 > 0 ⇒ x = 0 corresponds to a minima
y’’1/2 = -1 < 0 ⇒ x = 1/2 corresponds to a maxima
y’’1 = 2 > 0 ⇒ x = 1 corresponds to a minima
So, x = 0 and x = 1 are the ordinates we need.
So, the area A is –

A =
(Ans)
The area of the region is
A. π/5
B. π/4
C. π/2 – 1/2
D. π2/2
We need to determine what region is being talked about.
x2 + y2 = 1 is a circle with centre at origin and unit radius.
So, x2 + y2 ≤ 1 represents the region inside that circle.
x + y = 1 is a line that intersects the 2 axes at unit distances from the origin, in the positive direction.
So x + y ≥ 1 represents all the points, i.e., the region above the line x + y = 1.
So, the region {(x, y): x2 + y2 ≤ 1 ≤ x + y} is –
For each point (x, y) on circle in first quadrant, y = √(1 – x2)
For each point (x, y) on line, y = 1 – x
So, area A of the region described is –
A =
=
= π/4 – 1/2 (Ans)
The area common to the parabola y = 2x2 and y = x2 + 4 is
A. 2/3 sq. units
B. 3/2 sq. units
C. 32/3 sq. units
D. 3/32 sq. units
The area we need looks like –
We need to find the points of intersection to set the bounds of integration.
At points of intersection, y = x2 + 4 = 2x2
or, x2 – 4 = 0
⇒ (x + 2)(x – 2) = 0
⇒ x = -2, 2
⇒ The points of intersection are (-2, 8) and (2, 8), which is also evident from the graph.
So, the area A of the shaded region is –
A =
=
Since 4 – x2 is an even function,
A =
=
=
= 32/3 (Ans)
The area of the region bounded by the parabola y = x2 + 1 and the straight line x + y = 3 is given by
A. 45/7
B. 25/4
C. π/18
D. 9/2
The situation looks like this –
At the intersection points, y = 3 – x = x2 + 1
Or, x2 + x – 2 = 0
⇒ (x + 2)(x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = -2, 1 → these are our bounds
So, area A enclosed is –
A =
=
=
= 2 – 1/2 - 1/3 + 4 + 2 – 8/3
= 8 – 9/3 – 1/2
= 5 – 1/2
= 9/2 (Ans)

Let us call the corresponding areas A1 and A2.
A1 =

∴ A1 : A2 = 2 : 1 (Ans)

A. 0
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Let area be A.
So, area A is –
A =
Now, cos x is positive from x = 0 to x = π/2 and from x = 3π/2 to x = 2π and negative from x = π/2 to x = 3π/2.
So, A =
=
= [1 – 0] + [-(-1) + 1] + [0 – (-1)]
= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 4 (Ans)
Area bounded by parabola y2 = x and straight line 2y = x is
A. 43
B. 1
C. 23
D. 13
Construction:
The situation looks like this –
At the intersection points, x = 2y = y2
or, y2 – 2y = 0
⇒ y(y – 2) = 0
⇒ y = 0 or y = 2
So, intersection points are (0, 0) and (4, 2)
Hence, the area A enclosed is –
A =
=
= [4 – 8/3]
= 4/3 (Ans)
The area bounded by the curve y = 4x – x2 and the x-axis is
A.
B.
C.
D.
y = 4x – x2
This is a parabola with negative co-efficient of x2, i.e., it’s a downward parabola.
So, area A enclosed is the area of the peak of the parabola above the x – axis.
We need to find the bounds of this peak.
Now, at the point where the peak starts/ends, y = 0,
i.e., 4x – x2 = 0
⇒ x(4 – x) = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x = 4
∴ A =
=
= [32 – 64/3]
= 32/3 sq. units (Ans)

⇒
⇒
Since we are concerned with the area above the x – axis, we’ll be considering the positive root.
We can see that at x = 0, y = 0.
So,
A =
Putting √x = u
We get du = (1/2√x)dx
or, dx = 2u du
So,
A =
Putting u = √2√a sin t
We get du = √2√a cos t dt
A =

=
=
=
=
= 4a2(π/2 – 0 – 0 + 0) – a2(π/2 – 0 – 0 + 0)
= πa2 (Ans)

A. 1
B. 2/3
C. 4/3
D. 8/3
x2 = 4y, at y = 0, x = 0
So, our bounds are x = 0 and x = 2
Area A enclosed is –
A =
=
=
= 8/12, i.e., 2/3 (Ans)
The area bounded by the curve y = f(x), x-axis, and the ordinates x = 1 and x = b is (b – 1) sin (3b + 4). Then, f (x) is
A. (x – 1) cos (3x + 4)
B. sin (3x + 4)
C. sin (3x + 4) +3 (x – 1) cos (3x + 4)
D. none of these
So, the area enclosed from x = 1 to x = x (say) is (x – 1) sin (3x + 4)
⇒ A = ∫f(x) dx = F(x) = (x – 1) sin (3x + 4)
⇒ f(x) = F’(x) = sin (3x + 4) + 3(x – 1) cos (3x + 4) (Using u-v rule of differentiation)
(Ans)
The area bounded by the curve y2 = 8x and x2 = 8y is
A.
B.
C.
D.
This problem is similar to Problem 2. So we’ll solve it in a similar way.
At points of intersection,
y2 = 8x
(from the other equation)
Let us solve this.
x4 = 512x
⇒ x(x3 – 512) = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x3 = 512, i.e, x = 8
So the points of intersection are (0,0) and (8,8)
Now, let’s compute the area.
If we integrate w.r.t x, we’ll have to integrate the space between the two curves from x = 0 to x = 8.
i.e.,

The area bounded by the parabola y2 = 8x, the x-axis and the latusrectum is
A. 16/3
B. 23/3
C. 32/3
D.
Latus rectum of parabola y2 = 4ax is x = a
So, latus rectum of parabola y2 = 8x is x = 2
Therefore, area A enclosed is –
A =

D. 4/3
The area A enclosed is –
A =
Now, y = x|x| =
So, |y| = |x|x|| = x2
∴ A =

C.
D.
The area we want is –
We’ll integrate w.r.t y, since area is enclosed by curves and y – axis.
Intersection point is at x = π/4, i.e., y = 1/√2
So, area A enclosed is –
A =
Using Integration by parts –
A =
Putting u = 1 – y2
We get du = -2y dy
A =
=
=
= π/4√2 + 1/√2 – 0 – 1 + 0 – 0 - π/4√2 + 1/√2
= √2 - 1 (Ans)
The area of the circle x2 + y2 = 16 enterior to the parabola y2 = 6x is
A.
B.
C.
D.
The area we want is –
At intersection points, y2 = 6x = 16 – x2
Or, x2 + 6x – 16 = 0
i.e., (x + 8)(x – 2) = 0
i.e., x = -8, 2
Now x = -8 ⇒ y2 = 16 – (-8)2 = 16 – 64 = -48 < 0, which is not possible for y ∈ ℝ
So, x = 2
and y2 = 16 – 22
= 16 – 4
= 12
Or, y = √12 = ± 2√3
So, our bounds are y = -2√3 to y = 2√3
The area A enclosed is –

A. 2/3
B. 1/3
C. 1/4
D. 3/4
At the points of intersection,
x = y2/4 = y/2
Or, y2 = 2y
i.e., y2 – 2y = 0
i.e., y(y – 2) = 0
i.e., y = 0, 2

The part of the circle x2 + y2 = 4 in between x = 0 and x = 2 is the semicircle to the right of the y – axis.
And the part of this semicircle in the first quadrant is a quadrant of the circle.
So, area A of the portion is basically the area of a quadrant of the circle.
∴ A = πr2/4
