Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 10
Application of Integrals Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Given \(f(0) = 0 \) & \(f'(1) = 0\) & \(f(1) = \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\therefore f(x) = \frac{2x - x^2}{2}\)
\(f^{-1}(x)\) is the image of \(f(x)\) on \(y = x.\)
Also, \(2x + 2y = 3\) passes through \(A(1, \frac{1}{2})\) & \(B(\frac{1}{2}, 1)\)
so bounded Area \(A\)
\(= AreaOAB = 2[Area OCM + Area CMNA - Area ONA]\)
\(A = 2[\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2}) \times \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 (2x - x^2) , dx]\)
\(\Rightarrow A = 2[\frac{9}{32} + \frac{5}{32} - [x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3}]_0^1]\)
\(\Rightarrow A = 2[\frac{14}{32} -(1 - \frac{1}{3})] \)
\(\Rightarrow A = \frac{28}{32} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{3} \)\(\Rightarrow A = \frac{21 - 16}{24} = \frac{5}{24} \)
⇒ 48A = 10
Application of Integrals Question 2:
Comprehension:
The slope of the tangent to the curve y = f(x) at (x, f(x) ) is 4 for every real number x and the curve passes through the origin.
. What is the area bounded by the curve, the x-axis and the line x = 4?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Application of Integrals Question 2 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The equation of the curve is y = 4x , and the line x = 4 intersects the curve at the point (4, 16) . We need to find the area bounded by the curve, the x-axis, and the line x = 4 .
The region of interest is a right triangle with a base along the x-axis from x = 0 to x = 4 and a height of 16 units, corresponding to the point (4, 16) .
The area of the triangle is given by the formula:
\( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \)
Substituting the values of the base (4 units) and the height (16 units):
\( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 16 = 32 \, \text{square units} \)
∴ The area is 32 square units.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
Application of Integrals Question 3:
Comprehension:
The slope of the tangent to the curve y = f(x) at (x, f(x) ) is 4 for every real number x and the curve passes through the origin.
What is the nature of the curve?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Application of Integrals Question 3 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
The slope of the tangent to the curve y = f(x) at (x, f(x)) is 4 for every real number x , and the curve passes through the origin.
The slope of the tangent is the derivative of the function, so we have:
\( f'(x) = 4 \)
Integrating f'(x) = 4 with respect to x :
\( f(x) = 4x + C \)
The curve passes through the origin, so when x = 0 , y = 0 . Substituting these values into the equation f(x) = 4x + C :
\( 0 = 4(0) + C \quad \Rightarrow \quad C = 0 \)
Therefore, the equation of the curve is:
\( f(x) = 4x \)
This is the equation of a straight line with a slope of 4, passing through the origin.
∴ The curve is a straight line with a slope of 4, passing through the origin.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
Application of Integrals Question 4:
Let ℝ denote the set of all real numbers. Then the area of the region \(\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}: x>0, y>\frac{1}{x}, 5 x-4 y-1>0,4 x+4 y-17<0\right\}\) is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Application of Integrals Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- The question involves finding the area bounded by inequalities.
- The inequalities form a region enclosed by y = 1/x, 5x − 4y − 1 = 0, 4x + 4y − 17 = 0, and the x-axis.
- To find the area, we:
- Find the points of intersection of the given curves and lines.
- Break down the area into simpler regions: triangles and integrals.
- Use integration to find the area under the curve y = 1/x.
- Integration of 1/x: The integral of 1/x with respect to x is logex.
- The final area will be a combination of calculated triangular areas and definite integrals.
Calculation:
Given,
x > 0, y > 1/x, 5x − 4y − 1 > 0, 4x + 4y − 17 < 0
Points of intersection are calculated as follows:
⇒ 5x − 4y − 1 = 0 and y = 1/x meet at (1, 1)
⇒ 5x − 4y − 1 = 0 and 4x + 4y − 17 = 0 meet at (2, 1.25)
⇒ 4x + 4y − 17 = 0 and y = 1/x meet at (4, 0.25)
Break the area into:
Area of triangle with vertices (1,1), (2,1.25), (4,0.25)
Area of region under y = 1/x between x = 1 and x = 4
Area = (1/2) × (base 1.5) × (height 4/3)
⇒ 1/2 × 3/2 × 4/3 = 1
Next, area of another triangle:
Area = (1/2) × (base 2) × (height 10/4)
⇒ 1/2 × 2 × 2.5 = 2.5
Now subtract the area under the curve y = 1/x:
∫14 (1/x) dx = loge4
Add all the areas:
Total Area = 1 + 2.5 − loge4
Total Area = 33/8 − loge4
∴ Hence, the area of the given region is 33/8 − loge4.
So, the correct option is 2.
Application of Integrals Question 5:
It the area enclosed by the parabolas P1 : 2y = 5x2 and P2 : x2 – y + 6 = 0 is equal to the area enclosed by P1 and y = αx, α > 0, then α3 is equal to _____ .
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 600
Application of Integrals Question 5 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Abscissa of the point of intersection of 2y = 5x2
and y = x2 + 6 is ± 2
\(\rm \text { Area }=2 \int_{0}^{2}\left(x^{2}+6-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x=\int_{0}^{\frac{2 a}{5}}\left(α x-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x\)
⇒ \(\int_{0}^{\frac{2 a}{5}}\left(α x-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x=16\)
⇒ α3 = 600
Hence, the correct answer is 600.

Application of Integrals Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
The area under the curve y = f(x) between x = a and x = b, is given by:
Area = \(\rm\int_{a}^{b}ydx\)
Similarly, the area under the curve y = f(x) between y = a and y = b, is given by:
Area = \(\rm\int_{a}^{b}xdy\)
Calculation:
Here,
x2 = y and line y = 1 cut the parabola
∴ x2 = 1
⇒ x = 1 and -1
\( \text{Area =}\int_{-1}^{1} y d x \)
Here, the area is symmetric about the y-axis, we can find the area on one side and then multiply it by 2, we will get the area,
\( \text{Area}_1 = \int_{0}^{1} y d x \)
\( \text{Area}_1 = \int_{0}^{1} x^{2} dx \)
\(= \rm\left[\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{1}{3}\)
This area is between y = x2 and the positive x-axis.
To get the area of the shaded region, we have to subtract this area from the area of square i.e.
\((1 \times 1)-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\)
\(Total\;Area=2\times{\frac{2}{3}} =\frac{4}{3}\) square units.

\(\int√{a^2-x^2}\;dx=\frac{x}{2} {√{x^2-a^2}}+\frac{a^2}{2}sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+c\)
Function y = √f(x) is defined for f(x) ≥ 0. Therefore y can not be negative.
Calculation:
Given:
y = \(\rm √{16-x^2}\) and x-axis
At x-axis, y will be zero
y = \(\rm √{16-x^2}\)
⇒ 0 = \(\rm √{16-x^2}\)
⇒ 16 - x2 = 0
⇒ x2 = 16
∴ x = ± 4
So, the intersection points are (4, 0) and (−4, 0)
Since the curve is y = \(\rm √{16-x^2}\)
So, y ≥ o [always]
So, we will take the circular part which is above the x-axis
Area of the curve, A \(\rm =\int_{-4}^{4}√{16-x^2}\;dx\)
We know that,
\(\int√{a^2-x^2}\;dx=\frac{x}{2} {√{x^2-a^2}}+\frac{a^2}{2}sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+c\)
= \( \rm [ \frac x 2 √{(4^2- x^2) }+ \frac {16}{2}sin^{-1} \frac x4]_{-4}^{4 }\)
= \( \rm [ \frac x 2 √{(4^2- 4^2) }+ \frac {16}{2}sin^{-1} \frac 44]- \rm [ \frac x 2 √{(4^2- (-4)^2) }+ \frac {16}{2}sin^{-1} \frac {4}{-4})]\)
= 8 sin-1 (1) + 8 sin-1 (1)
= 16 sin-1 (1)
= 16 × π/2

Area under a Curve by Integration
Find the area under this curve by summing vertically.
- In this case, we find the area is the sum of the rectangles, height x = f(y) and width dy.
- If we are given y = f(x), then we need to re-express this as x = f(y) and we need to sum from the bottom to top.
So, \({\bf{A}} = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\bf{a}}^{\bf{b}} {\bf{xdy}} = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\bf{a}}^{\bf{b}} {\bf{f}}\left( {\bf{y}} \right){\bf{dy}}\)
Calculation:
Given Curve: x = 4 - y2
⇒ y2 = 4 - x
⇒ y2 = - (x - 4)
The above curve is the equation of the Parabola,
We know that at y-axis; x = 0
⇒ y2 = 4 - x
⇒ y2 = 4 - 0 = 4
⇒ y = ± 2
⇒ (0, 2) or (0, -2) are Point of intersection.
Area under the curve \( = \mathop \int \nolimits_{-2}^2 {\rm{xdy}}\)
\(= \rm \int_{-2}^2 (4-y^2)dy\)
\(\rm = \left[4y- {\frac{{{{ {{\rm{y}} } }^3}}}{3}} \right]_{-2}^2\)

Concept:
Apply concept of area between two curves y1 and y2 between x = a and x = b
\(\rm A=\int_a^b(y_1-y_2)\ dx\)
Calculation:
The parabolas y = 3x2 and x2 - y + 4 = 0
then 3x2 = x2 + 4
⇒ x2 = 2
⇒ x = ± √ 2
Then the area is
\(\rm A=\int_{-\sqrt2}^{\sqrt2}(x^2+4-3x^2) \ dx\)
\(\rm A=\int_{-\sqrt2}^{\sqrt2}(4-2x^2) \ dx\)
\(\rm A=[4x-2\frac{x^3}{3}]_{-\sqrt2}^{\sqrt2}\)
\(\rm A=4[\sqrt2-(-\sqrt2)]-\frac{2}{3}[{\sqrt2}^3-{(-\sqrt2)}^3]\)
\(\rm A=8\sqrt2-\frac{8}{3}\sqrt2\)
\(\rm A=\frac{16\sqrt2}{3}\) sq unit.
Hence option (4) is correct.

The area of the region bounded by the curve y = x2 and the line y = 16 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Application of Integrals Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
Given equation of curves are
y = x2 ---(1) and y = 16 ---(2)
By solving both equation (1) and (2) we have:
x2 = 16
x = 4, -4.
∴ Points of intersection are (4, 16) and (-4, 16).
From the figure we have,
\(Required~Area~=~∫_{-4}^4(16-x^2)~dx \)
By using Integral property we have,
\(A=~2∫_{0}^4(16-x^2)~dx \)
\(= 2\left[ {16x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^4\)
\(= 2\left[ {16x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^4\)
\( = 2\left[ {64 - \frac{{64}}{3}} \right] \)
\(= 2 \times 64 \times \frac{2}{3}\;\)
\(A=\frac{256}{3}~sq.units\)
Alternate Method
There is another method also by which we can solved the problem,
By considering horizontal strip and by the condition of symmetry we have:
\(Area~=~2\int_0^{16}x~dy\)
\(Area~=~2\int_0^{16}\sqrt{y}~dy\)
\(Area~=~2~\times~\frac{2}{3}~\times~[y^{\frac{3}{2}}]_0^{16} \)
\(Area~=~2\times \frac{2}{3}\times [16^{\frac{3}{2}}-0]\)
Area = \(\frac{256}{3}~sq.unit\)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Application of Integrals Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
Given curves are y = x - 1 and y2 = 2x + 6
On solving, we get,
y2 = 2(y + 1) + 6
⇒ y2 - 2y - 8 = 0
⇒ (y - 4)(y + 2) = 0
⇒ y = -2, 4
Now, we can find the area by
A = \(\int_{-2}^{4}\left [y+1-\left ( \frac{y^{2}}{2}-3 \right ) \right ]dy \)
= \(\int_{-2}^{4}\left (4+y-\frac{y^{2}}{2} \right )dy \)
= \(\left [ 4y+\frac{y^{2}}{2} -\frac{y^{3}}{6}\right ]_{-2}^{4}\)
= \(16+8-\frac{32}{3}-\left ( -8+2+\frac{4}{3} \right )\)

The area under a Curve by Integration:
Find the area under this curve is by summing horizontally.
In this case, we find the area is the sum of the rectangles, heights y = f(x) and width dx.
We need to sum from left to right.
∴ Area = \( \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\rm{a}}^{\rm{b}} {\rm{ydx}} = {\rm{\;}}\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\rm{a}}^{\rm{b}} {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right){\rm{dx}}\)
Calculation:
Here, we have to find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = x2, x-axis and ordinates x = -1 and x = 2

As we know that, \(\smallint {{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}{\rm{dx}} = \frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{n}} + 1}}}}{{{\rm{n}} + 1}} + {\rm{C}}\)
Area = \(\rm \mathop \int \nolimits_{-1}^2{x^2}\;dx\)
= \( \rm \left[ {\frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_{-1}^2\)
= \(\left[\frac 83 - \frac {-1}{3}\right] = \frac 93=3\)
Area = 3 sq. units.
