Application of Integrals Question 1:

Let \( f:[0,1] \rightarrow \bigg[ 0, \dfrac{1}{2} \bigg] \) be a function such that \(f(x)\) is a polynomial of \(2nd\) degree, satisfy the following condition :

(a) \(f(0) =0\)

(b) has a maximum value of \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) at \(x=1\).

If \(A\) is the area bounded by \(y= f(x); \ y=f^{-1}(x)\) and the line \(2x +2y-3=0\) in \(1st\) quadrant, then the value of  \(48A\)  is equal to .............

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 \(y = x.\)

qImage67beb33a104abaae030afeb8

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:

Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
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?

  1. 8 square units 
  2. 16 square units 
  3. 32 square units 
  4. 64 square units 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 32 square units 

Application of Integrals Question 2 Detailed Solution

Calculation: 

qImage6847eba9a36458e0b0f25d21

 

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:

Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
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?

  1. A straight line passing through (1,4)
  2. A straight line passing through (-14)
  3. A parabola with vertex at origin and focus at (2,0)
  4. A parabola with vertex at origin and focus at (1, 0)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : A straight line passing through (1,4)

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

  1. \(\frac{17}{16}-\log _{e} 4\)
  2. \(\frac{33}{8}-\log _{e} 4\)
  3. \(\frac{57}{8}-\log _{e} 4\)
  4. \(\frac{17}{2}-\log _{e} 4\)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : \(\frac{33}{8}-\log _{e} 4\)

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: 

qImage682efba99effb42ff7a49a9c

Abscissa of the point of intersection of 2y = 5x

and y = x2 + 6 is ± 2 

qImage682efbaa9effb42ff7a49a9d

\(\rm \text { Area }=2 \int_{0}^{2}\left(x^{2}+6-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x=\int_{0}^{\frac{2 a}{5}}\left(α x-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x\)

⇒ \(\int_{0}^{\frac{2 a}{5}}\left(α x-\frac{5 x^{2}}{2}\right) d x=16\)

⇒ α3 = 600

Hence, the correct answer is 600.

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

F5 5f3574b68881b70d100bb46f Aman.K 20-8-2020 Savita Dia

\( \text{Area =}\int_{-1}^{1} y d x \)

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.

Concept: 

\(\int√{a^2-x^2}\;dx=\frac{x}{2} {√{x^2-a^2}}+\frac{a^2}{2}sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+c\) 

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)

F6 Aman 15-1-2021 Swati D1

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)

\(= 2\left[ {16x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^4\)

\(= 2\left[ {16x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^4\)

Explanation:

Given curves are y = x - 1 and y2 = 2x + 6 

F1 Vinanti Defence 31.12.22 D1

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 = \(\int_{-2}^{4}\left [y+1-\left ( \frac{y^{2}}{2}-3 \right ) \right ]dy \)

\(\int_{-2}^{4}\left (4+y-\frac{y^{2}}{2} \right )dy \)

\(\left [ 4y+\frac{y^{2}}{2} -\frac{y^{3}}{6}\right ]_{-2}^{4}\)

\(16+8-\frac{32}{3}-\left ( -8+2+\frac{4}{3} \right )\)

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 =  \( \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\rm{a}}^{\rm{b}} {\rm{ydx}} = {\rm{\;}}\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{\rm{a}}^{\rm{b}} {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right){\rm{dx}}\)

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

F1 Aman.K 14-12-20 Savita D2

So, the area enclosed by the given curves is given by \(\rm \mathop \int \nolimits_{-1}^2{x^2}\;dx\)

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.
