The smaller area enclosed by y = f(x), when f(x) is polynomial of least degree satisfying = e and the circle x2 + y2= 2 above the x axis is
A
2π
B
53
C
2π−53
D
2π+53
Answer
2π−53
Explanation
Solution
limx→0[1+x3f(x)]1/x exists so limx→0x3f(x) = 0 It means f(x) =
a4x4 + a5 x5 +……..+ anxn , an ¹ 0 n ³ 4
f(x) is of least degree f(x) = a4x4
limx→0= e, a4 = 1, f(x) = x4 The graph of y = x4 and x2 + y2 = 2

Area = 2 dx
= 2π – 53
