Application of Integrals Exercise 8b Solutions
Question 1.
Find the area under the given curves and given lines:
(i) y = x2, x = 1, x = 2 and X-axis
(ii) y = x4, x = 1, x = 5 and X-axis
Solution:
(i) Given curve y = x2 and lines x = 1, x = 2
⇒ x2 = y
Area of ABCD w.r.to the x-axis is given by

Area = \(\int_1^2 \mathrm{y} \mathrm{dx}=\int_1^2 \mathrm{x}^2 \mathrm{dx}=\left[\frac{\mathrm{x}^3}{3}\right]_1^2\)
= \(\frac{2^3}{3}-\frac{1^3}{3}=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\) sq. units
(ii) Given curve y = x4
x = 1, x = 5 and X-axis

Region of ABCD w.r.to the x-axis is
Area = \(\int_1^5 y d x\)
= \(\int_1^5 x^4 d x\)
= \(\left[\frac{x^5}{5}\right]_1^5\)
= \(\frac{5^5}{5}-\frac{1^5}{5}\)
= \(\frac{3125-1}{5}\)
= 624.8 sq. units
Question 2.
Sketch the graph of y = |x + 3| and evaluate \(\int_{-6}^0|x+3| d x\).
Solution:
Given \(\int_{-6}^0|x+3| d x\)
f(x) = |x + 3|
x + 3 if x + 3 ≥ 0 ⇒ x ≥ -3
-(x + 3) if x + 3 < o ⇒ x ≤ -3

Area of ABC + Area of ADE with respect to X-axis = \(\int_{-6}^{-3} y d x+\int_{-3}^0 y d x\)
= \(\int_{-6}^{-3}|x+3| d x+\int_{-3}^0|x+3| d x\)
= \(\int_{-6}^{-3}-(x+3) d x+\int_{-3}^0(x+3) d x\)
= \(\left[\frac{x^2}{2}+3 x\right]_{-6}^{-3}+\left[\frac{x^2}{2}+3 x\right]_{-3}^0\)
= \(-\left[\left(\frac{9}{2}-9\right)-(18-18)\right]+\left[0-\left(\frac{9}{2}-9\right)\right]\)
= \(\frac{9}{2}+\frac{9}{2}\)
= 9 sq. units.

Question 3.
Find the area bounded by the curve y = sin x between x = 0 and x = 2π.
Solution:
The given curve is y = sin x

Area = Area of OAB + Area of BCD = 2 Area of OAB
= \(2 \int_0^\pi \sin x d x\)
= \(2[-\cos x]_0^\pi\)
= 2[-cos π + cos 0]
= 2(1 + 1)
= 4
∴ Total Area from 0 to 2π = 2 + 2 = 4 sq. units.
Question 4.
Find the area cut off between the line y = 0 and the parabola y = x2 – 4x + 3.
Solution:

Given curve is y = x2 – 4x + 3, y = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x + 3 = 0
⇒ x2 – 3x – x + 3 = 0
⇒ (x – 3) (x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = 1, x = 3

∴ The Area = \(\int_1^3-(y) d x\)
= \(\int_1^3-\left(x^2-4 x+3\right) d x\)
= \(-\left[\frac{x^3}{3}-4 \frac{x^2}{2}+3 x\right]_1^3\)
= \(\left[\left(\frac{3^3}{3}-4 \frac{3^2}{2}+3(3)\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{2}+3\right)\right]\)
= \(-\left[(9-18+9)-\left(\frac{1}{3}-2+3\right)\right]\)
= \(-\left[0-\left(\frac{1}{3}+1\right)\right]\)
= \(-\left[-\left(\frac{1+3}{3}\right)\right]\)
= \(\frac {4}{3}\) sq.units
Question 5.
Find the area bounded by the parabola y = x2, the x-axis, and the lines x = -1, x = 2.
Solution:
Given y = x2, x-axis x = -1, x = 2

∴ The required area A = \(\int_{-1}^2 x^2 d x\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\left[x^3\right]_{-1}^2\)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)[8 + 1]
= 3 sq. units
Question 6.
Find the area bounded between the curves y2 = 2x + 1 and x = 0
Solution:
Given y2 = 2x + 1 and x = 0.
⇒ x = \(\frac{y^2-1}{2}\) ……(1)

The required area = \(-\int_{-1}^1 x d y\)
= \(-\int_{-1}^1 \frac{y^2-1}{2} d y\)
= \(-\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^1+\frac{1}{2}[y]_{-1}^1\)
= \(-\frac {1}{6}\)(1 + 1) + \(\frac {1}{2}\)(2)
= \(\frac {2}{3}\) sq.units

Question 7.
Find the area enclosed by the line y = 3x and the curve y = 6x – x2
Solution:

Given curves are y = 3x …….(1)
y = 6x – x2 ………(2)
Solve equations (1) and (2)
3x = 6x – x2
⇒ x(x – 3) = 0
⇒ x = 0 and x = 3
y = 3x

y = 6x – x2

∴ The required area = \(\int_0^3\left[\left(6 x-x^2\right)-3 x\right] d x\)
= \(\int_0^3\left(3 x-x^2\right) d x\)
= \(\left[\frac{3 x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^3\)
= \(\frac{27}{2}-\frac{27}{3}\)
= \(\frac {9}{2}\) sq.units.
Question 8.
Find the area between curve y = x3 + 3 and lines y = 0, x = -1, x = 2.
Solution:
Given curves are y = x3 + 3, y = 0, x = -1, x = 2
The bounded area = \(\int_{-1}^2 y d x\)
= \(\int_{-1}^2\left(x^3+3\right) d x\)
= \(\left[\frac{x^4}{4}+3 x\right]_{-1}^2\)
= \(\left[\left(\frac{2^4}{4}+3(2)\right)-\left(\frac{(-1)^4}{4}+3(-1)\right)\right]\)
= \(\left(\frac{16}{4}+6\right)-\left(\frac{1}{4}-3\right)\)
= 10 – \(\left(\frac{1-12}{4}\right)\)
= 10 + \(\frac {11}{4}\)
= \(\frac {51}{4}\) sq.units
Question 9.
Find the area between the curve y2 = 3x and the line x = 3.
Solution:
Given y2 = 3x and x = 3
⇒ y = ±3
∴ y = 3 and y = -3
Required area = \(\int_{-3}^3 y d x\)
= \(2 \int_0^3 \sqrt{3} \sqrt{x} d x\)
= \(2 \sqrt{3}\left[\frac{x^{3 / 2}}{3 / 2}\right]_0^3\)
= \(\frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{3} 3 \sqrt{3}\)
= 12 sq. units

Question 10.
Find the area between the curve y = x2 and the line y = 2x.
Solution:
Given y = x2 ……..(1)
y = 2x …….(2)
From (1) and (2)
x2 = 2x
∴ x = 0, x = 2

The required area = \(\int_0^2\left(2 x-x^2\right) d x\)
= \(\left(x^2-\frac{x^3}{3}\right)_0^2\)
= \(2^2-\frac{2^3}{3}\)
= 4 – \(\frac {8}{3}\)
= \(\frac {4}{3}\) sq.units
