Standard Integral: ∫ √(a²-y²) dy = (y)/(2)√(a²-y²) + (a²)/(2) ⁻¹((y)/(a)) + C Area of right triangle = (1)/(2) × base × height
Core Logic

First, find the points of intersection between the circle x²+y²=169 and the line 5x-y=13 ⇒ y = 5x-13. Substitute y into the circle equation:

x² + (5x-13)² = 169 x² + 25x² - 130x + 169 = 169 26x² - 130x = 0 ⇒ 26x(x - 5) = 0

The solutions are x=0 and x=5. When x=0, y=-13. Point is (0, -13). When x=5, y=12. Point is (5, 12).

The required area is bounded below the line x = (y+13)/(5) and above the right-hand boundary of the circle x = √(169-y²) across the y-axis boundaries [-13, 12].

Step 1: Setup Area Integral

Integrate with respect to y (from left to right curves, bounded horizontally):

Area = ∫₋₁₃¹² ( √(169-y²) - (y+13)/(5) ) dy

Split the integral into two parts: Part A (Circle): ∫₋₁₃¹² √(169-y²) dy Part B (Line): ∫₋₁₃¹² (y+13)/(5) dy

Step 2: Evaluate Integrals

Part A (Circle Integral):

= [ (y)/(2)√(169-y²) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((y)/(13)) ]₋₁₃¹²

Evaluate at upper limit 12:

= (12)/(2)√(169-144) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13)) = 6(5) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13)) = 30 + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13))

Evaluate at lower limit -13:

= 0 + (169)/(2) ⁻¹(-1) = -(169π)/(4)

Value of Part A = 30 + (169π)/(4) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13))

Part B (Line Integral - matches the area of the bounded triangle geometric region):

= (1)/(10) [ (y+13)² ]₋₁₃¹² = (1)/(10)(12+13)² - 0 = (25²)/(10) = (625)/(10) = (125)/(2) = 62.5
Step 3: Map to Requested Format

Subtract Part B from Part A:

Area = (169π)/(4) + 30 - (125)/(2) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13)) Area = (169π)/(4) - (65)/(2) + (169)/(2) ⁻¹((12)/(13))

Comparing this exactly with the given format (πα)/(2β) - (65)/(2) + (α)/(β) ⁻¹((12)/(13)): We see that (α)/(β) = (169)/(2). Since 169 and 2 are coprime, α = 169 and β = 2.

Calculate α + β: 169 + 2 = 171

Pattern Recognition

When evaluating line integrals forming a triangle with horizontal bounds, bypass algebraic integration and visually calculate (1)/(2) · b · h. Here, base=25 along y-axis, height=5 along x-axis, area = 125/2. Instantly saves integration time.

Find intersection points of y = 4x - x² and 3y = (x - 4)²:

3(4x - x²) = x² - 8x + 16 12x - 3x² = x² - 8x + 16 4x² - 20x + 16 = 0 x² - 5x + 4 = 0

Roots are x = 1, 4.

Area integral:

Area = ∫₁⁴ [ (4x - x²) - ((x - 4)²)/(3) ] dx = [ (4x²)/(2) - (x³)/(3) - ((x - 4)³)/(9) ]₁⁴ = [ 2(16) - (64)/(3) - 0 ] - [ 2(1) - (1)/(3) - ((-3)³)/(9) ] = ( 32 - (64)/(3) ) - ( 2 - (1)/(3) + 3 ) = (32)/(3) - ( 5 - (1)/(3) ) = (32)/(3) - (14)/(3) = (18)/(3) = 6

Step 1: Case I (y > 0)

If y > 0, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) > 0. Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4): x in (0, 1) (2, 3).

Step 2: Case II (y < 0)

If y < 0, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) < 0. Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4): x in (1, 2) (3, 4).

Step 3: Area Computation

Because the regions map perfectly without overlap in opposite quadrants relative to the x-axis, they form complete parabolic strips when combined: Area = 2 ∫₀⁴ √(x) dx = 2 · (2)/(3)[x3/2]₀⁴ = (4)/(3) · 8 = (32)/(3).
