Application of Integrals Exercise 8a Solutions
Question 1.
Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\)
Solution:
Given ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) (a > b)
Comparing to \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)
a2 = 16
⇒ a = 4
b2 = 9
⇒ b = 3
From ellipse is \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\)
⇒ \(\frac{y^2}{9}=1-\frac{x^2}{16}\)
⇒ \(\frac{y^2}{9}=\frac{16-x^2}{16}\)
⇒ \(y^2=\frac{9}{16}\left(16-x^2\right)\)
⇒ y = \(\sqrt{\frac{9}{16}\left(16-x^2\right)}\)
⇒ y = \(\frac{3}{4} \sqrt{16-x^2}\)

The area of OAB = \(\int_0^4 y d x\)
= \(\int_0^4 \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{16-x^2} d x\) [∵ \(\int \sqrt{a^2-x^2} d x=\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}\)]
= \(\frac{3}{4}\left[\begin{array}{l}
\frac{4}{2} \sqrt{4^2-4^2}+\frac{16}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{4}\right) \\
-\left(\frac{0}{2} \sqrt{4^2-0^2}+\frac{16}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{0}{4}\right)\right)
\end{array}\right]\)
= \(\frac{3}{4} \times 8 \times \frac{\pi}{2}\)
= 3π
The total area of the ellipse = 4 × OAB
= 4 × 3π
= 12π

Question 2.
Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\)
Solution:
Given ellipse is \(\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) (a < b)
Comparing to \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)
a2 = 4
⇒ a = 2
b2 = 9
⇒ b = 3
From ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\)
⇒ \(\frac{y^2}{9}=1-\frac{x^2}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{y^2}{9}=\frac{4-x^2}{4}\)
⇒ \(y^2=\frac{9}{4}\left(4-x^2\right)\)
⇒ y = \(\frac{3}{2} \sqrt{4-x^2}\)

Area of OAB w.r.to X-axis
Area of OAB = \(\int_0^2 y d x\)
= \(\int_0^2 \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{4-x^2} d x\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\left[\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{2^2-x^2}+\frac{2^2}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right]_0^2\) [∵ \(\int \sqrt{a^2-x^2} d x=\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}\)]
= \(\frac{3}{2}\left[\begin{array}{l}
\left(\frac{2}{2} \sqrt{2^2-2^2}+\frac{4}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)\right) \\
-\left(\frac{0}{2} \sqrt{2^2-0^2}+\frac{2^2}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{0}{2}\right)\right)
\end{array}\right]\)
= \(\frac{3}{2} \times 2 \times \frac{\pi}{2}\)
= \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
Total area of ellipse = 4 × \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\) = 6π
