Area of the ellipse represented by 3x2 + 4xy + 3y2 = 1, is equal to
A
5πsq. units
B
35πsq. units
C
25πsq. units
D
45πsq. union
Answer
5πsq. units
Explanation
Solution
We have 3y2 + 4xy + 3x2 − 1 = 0
⇒y=6−4x±16y2−12(3x2−1)
i.e y=3−2x±3−5x2
We must have 3 − 5x2 ≥ 0 i.e x ∈ [−53,53]
Equation of the branches of ellipse are
y1=3−2x+3−5x2 and y2=3−2x−3−5x2
Required area Δ=∫−5353(y1∼y2)dx
=32∫−53533−5x2dx=34∫0533−5x2dx

=345(2x53−x2+103sin−1(3x5))053
=5π sq. units
