Mathematics Question on applications of integrals
Area enclosed by the curve π[4(x−2)2+y2]=8 is
A
π
B
2
C
3π
D
4
Answer
4
Explanation
Solution
The given curve is
π[4(x−2)2+y2]=8
4(x−2)2+y2=π8
(x−2)2+(2y)2=π2
(π2)2(x−2)2+(2π2)2y2=1...(1)
This is the equation of the ellipse having centre ( 2,0 ).
Observe the figure of ellipse (1). The centre P is ( 2,0 ). A and B are (2,−π2,0) and
(2,+π2,0) respectively.
The required area = 4 ? area of figure PQB
=4×∫22+π2ydx
=4×∫22+π2π8−4(x−2)2 dx
=4×2∫22+π2(π2)2−(x−2)2dx
=8[2x−2π2−(x−2)2+2(2/π)sin−1(2/πx−2)]22+π2
[∵∫a2−x2dx=21xa2−x2+.2a2sin−1ax+C]
=8[{22+π2−2π2−(2+x2−2)2+π1sin−1(π22+π2−2)−22−22π2−(2−2)2+π1sin−1(2π2−2)}]
=8[2π1(0)+π1sin−1(1)−0−0]
=8(π1×2π)=4 square units.
