### Related Formula
textKing's Property: int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) dx$\text{King's Property: } \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx$
### Core Logic
First, we find the coordinates of intersection in the second quadrant to determine the integration limits a$a$ and b$b$.
### Step 1: Find points of intersection
Substitute y = fracx^22$y = \frac{x^2}{2}$ into the line equation y - 2x - 6 = 0$y - 2x - 6 = 0$:
fracx^22 - 2x - 6 = 0 implies x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0$\frac{x^2}{2} - 2x - 6 = 0 \implies x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0$(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 implies x = 6 quad textor quad x = -2$(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 \implies x = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -2$
Since the point (a, b)$(a, b)$ lies in the second quadrant, x$x$ must be negative:
a = -2$a = -2$b = 2(a) + 6 = 2(-2) + 6 = 2$b = 2(a) + 6 = 2(-2) + 6 = 2$
Thus, the integration limits are a = -2$a = -2$ and b = 2$b = 2$.
### Step 2: Solve the Integral using King's Property
The integral is:
I = int_-2^2 frac9x^21 + 5^x dx quad text--- (1)$I = \int_{-2}^{2} \frac{9x^2}{1 + 5^x} dx \quad \text{--- (1)}$
Apply King's property, substituting x to -x$x \to -x$ (since -2 + 2 - x = -x$-2 + 2 - x = -x$):
I = int_-2^2 frac9(-x)^21 + 5^-x dx = int_-2^2 frac9x^2 cdot 5^x1 + 5^x dx quad text--- (2)$I = \int_{-2}^{2} \frac{9(-x)^2}{1 + 5^{-x}} dx = \int_{-2}^{2} \frac{9x^2 \cdot 5^x}{1 + 5^x} dx \quad \text{--- (2)}$
Adding equations (1) and (2):
2I = int_-2^2 9x^2 left( frac1 + 5^x1 + 5^x right) dx = int_-2^2 9x^2 dx$2I = \int_{-2}^{2} 9x^2 \left( \frac{1 + 5^x}{1 + 5^x} \right) dx = \int_{-2}^{2} 9x^2 dx$
Since 9x^2$9x^2$ is an even function:
2I = 2 int_0^2 9x^2 dx implies I = left[ 3x^3 right]_0^2 = 3(8) - 0 = 24$2I = 2 \int_{0}^{2} 9x^2 dx \implies I = \left[ 3x^3 \right]_{0}^{2} = 3(8) - 0 = 24$
### Pattern Recognition
Whenever you see an exponential denominator like 1 + c^x$1 + c^x$ inside a symmetric interval definite integral [-a, a]$[-a, a]$, applying King's property will almost always cancel the exponential factor cleanly when the remaining numerator is even.

### Related Formula
int sqrta^2 + x^2 dx = fracx2 sqrta^2 + x^2 + fraca^22 lnleft| x + sqrta^2 + x^2 right|$\int \sqrt{a^2 + x^2} dx = \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^2 + x^2} + \frac{a^2}{2} \ln\left| x + \sqrt{a^2 + x^2} \right|$
### Core Logic
We first rationalise the denominator to split the integral into two standard integration terms.
### Step 1: Rationalise the integrand
Multiply the numerator and denominator by sqrt3+x^2 - sqrt1+x^2$\sqrt{3+x^2} - \sqrt{1+x^2}$:
frac1sqrt3 + x^2 + sqrt1 + x^2 = fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^2(3+x^2) - (1+x^2) = fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^22$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3 + x^2} + \sqrt{1 + x^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + x^2} - \sqrt{1 + x^2}}{(3+x^2) - (1+x^2)} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + x^2} - \sqrt{1 + x^2}}{2}$
Thus, the integral expression simplifies to:
I = 4 int_0^1 left( fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^22 right) dx - 3log_eleft(sqrt3right)$I = 4 \int_{0}^{1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{3 + x^2} - \sqrt{1 + x^2}}{2} \right) dx - 3\log_{e}\left(\sqrt{3}\right)$I = 2 int_0^1 sqrt3 + x^2 dx - 2 int_0^1 sqrt1 + x^2 dx - frac32 log_e 3$I = 2 \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{3 + x^2} dx - 2 \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1 + x^2} dx - \frac{3}{2} \log_{e} 3$
### Step 2: Evaluate the integrals
For the first integral:
2 int_0^1 sqrt3 + x^2 dx = 2 left[ fracx2 sqrt3 + x^2 + frac32 lnleft| x + sqrt3 + x^2 right| right]_0^1$2 \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{3 + x^2} dx = 2 \left[ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{3 + x^2} + \frac{3}{2} \ln\left| x + \sqrt{3 + x^2} \right| \right]_{0}^{1}$= left[ x sqrt3 + x^2 + 3 lnleft| x + sqrt3 + x^2 right| right]_0^1$= \left[ x \sqrt{3 + x^2} + 3 \ln\left| x + \sqrt{3 + x^2} \right| \right]_{0}^{1}$= left( sqrt4 + 3 ln(1 + sqrt4) right) - left( 0 + 3 lnsqrt3 right)$= \left( \sqrt{4} + 3 \ln(1 + \sqrt{4}) \right) - \left( 0 + 3 \ln\sqrt{3} \right)$= 2 + 3 ln 3 - frac32 ln 3 = 2 + frac32 ln 3$= 2 + 3 \ln 3 - \frac{3}{2} \ln 3 = 2 + \frac{3}{2} \ln 3$
For the second integral:
-2 int_0^1 sqrt1 + x^2 dx = -2 left[ fracx2 sqrt1 + x^2 + frac12 lnleft| x + sqrt1 + x^2 right| right]_0^1$-2 \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1 + x^2} dx = -2 \left[ \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{1 + x^2} + \frac{1}{2} \ln\left| x + \sqrt{1 + x^2} \right| \right]_{0}^{1}$= - left[ x sqrt1 + x^2 + lnleft| x + sqrt1 + x^2 right| right]_0^1$= - \left[ x \sqrt{1 + x^2} + \ln\left| x + \sqrt{1 + x^2} \right| \right]_{0}^{1}$= - left( sqrt2 + ln(1 + sqrt2) right)$= - \left( \sqrt{2} + \ln(1 + \sqrt{2}) \right)$
### Step 3: Sum the terms
Now compile all terms:
I = left( 2 + frac32 ln 3 right) - sqrt2 - ln(1 + sqrt2) - frac32 ln 3$I = \left( 2 + \frac{3}{2} \ln 3 \right) - \sqrt{2} - \ln(1 + \sqrt{2}) - \frac{3}{2} \ln 3$I = 2 - sqrt2 - ln(1 + sqrt2)$I = 2 - \sqrt{2} - \ln(1 + \sqrt{2})$
### Pattern Recognition
Integration of roots of quadratics: Always look for algebraic rationalisation when dealing with sum of root denominators. It directly reduces complex fractions into standard integrable functions.

Q532025Area Enclosed by Two Curves
Let the area enclosed between the curves |y| = 1 - x^2$|y| = 1 - x^2$ and x^2 + y^2 = 1$x^2 + y^2 = 1$ be alpha$\alpha$. If 9alpha = beta pi + gamma$9\alpha = \beta \pi + \gamma$, beta, gamma$\beta, \gamma$ are integers, then the value of |beta - gamma|$|\beta - \gamma|$ equals
A.27$27$
B.18$18$
C.15$15$
D.33$33$
Solution
### Related Formula
Area enclosed between two symmetric functions across four quadrants:
alpha = 4 times left( textArea of circle in 1^textst text quadrant - int_0^1 y_textparabola \, dx right)$\alpha = 4 \times \left( \text{Area of circle in } 1^{\text{st}} \text{ quadrant} - \int_{0}^{1} y_{\text{parabola}} \, dx \right)$
### Core Logic
The curves are symmetric across the axes. The region is enclosed between the unit circle x^2 + y^2 = 1$x^2 + y^2 = 1$ and the parabolas y = pm(1 - x^2)$y = \pm(1 - x^2)$.
Area Enclosed by Two Curves diagram for Q53 - JEE Main 2025 Evening
By symmetry, the area alpha$\alpha$ in the first quadrant is the area under the circle minus the area under the parabola from x=0$x=0$ to x=1$x=1$.
### Step 1: Calculate the Area Components
Area of a circle quadrant with r=1$r=1$ is fracpi4$\frac{\pi}{4}$.
Area under the parabola:
int_0^1 (1 - x^2) \, dx = left[ x - fracx^33 right]_0^1 = 1 - frac13 = frac23$\int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^2) \, dx = \left[ x - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{0}^{1} = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$
### Step 2: Evaluate the Total Area
alpha = 4 left[ fracpi4 - frac23 right] = pi - frac83$\alpha = 4 \left[ \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{2}{3} \right] = \pi - \frac{8}{3}$
Multiplying both sides by 9:
9alpha = 9pi - 24$9\alpha = 9\pi - 24$
Comparing with 9alpha = betapi + gamma$9\alpha = \beta\pi + \gamma$, we get:
beta = 9, quad gamma = -24$\beta = 9, \quad \gamma = -24$
Hence,
|beta - gamma| = |9 - (-24)| = 33$|\beta - \gamma| = |9 - (-24)| = 33$
### Pattern Recognition
Symmetry helps divide the integration work by 4. Recognizing standard shapes (like a circle sector) allows you to bypass complex integration entirely for half of the problem.

B.49$49$
C.46$46$
D.47$47$
Solution
### Related Formula
The area enclosed between upper bounding function y_textupper$y_{\text{upper}}$ and lower function y_textlower$y_{\text{lower}}$ is:
textArea = int_a^b (y_textupper - y_textlower) \, dx$\text{Area} = \int_{a}^{b} (y_{\text{upper}} - y_{\text{lower}}) \, dx$
### Core Logic
We need to find the intersection points of the curves to understand the min\x+7, 11-3x\$\min\{x+7, 11-3x\}$ boundary transition:
1) x+7 = 11-3x implies 4x = 4 implies x = 1$x+7 = 11-3x \implies 4x = 4 \implies x = 1$.
Hence, the line switches behavior at x=1$x=1$.
2) Intersecting 1+x^2$1+x^2$ with x+7$x+7$:
x^2 - x - 6 = 0 implies (x-3)(x+2) = 0 implies x = -2 quad textor quad x = 3$x^2 - x - 6 = 0 \implies (x-3)(x+2) = 0 \implies x = -2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3$
3) Intersecting 1+x^2$1+x^2$ with 11-3x$11-3x$:
x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0 implies (x+5)(x-2) = 0 implies x = 2 quad textor quad x = -5$x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0 \implies (x+5)(x-2) = 0 \implies x = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5$Area Under Curves diagram for Q57 - JEE Main 2025 Evening
### Step 1: Set up Integrals
The transition points show that from x = -2$x = -2$ to 1$1$, the upper line is x+7$x+7$, and from x = 1$x = 1$ to 2$2$, the upper line is 11-3x$11-3x$.
A = int_-2^1 ((x + 7) - (1 + x^2)) \, dx + int_1^2 ((11 - 3x) - (1 + x^2)) \, dx$A = \int_{-2}^{1} ((x + 7) - (1 + x^2)) \, dx + \int_{1}^{2} ((11 - 3x) - (1 + x^2)) \, dx$A = int_-2^1 (x + 6 - x^2) \, dx + int_1^2 (10 - 3x - x^2) \, dx$A = \int_{-2}^{1} (x + 6 - x^2) \, dx + \int_{1}^{2} (10 - 3x - x^2) \, dx$
### Step 2: Integration Evaluation
Evaluating the first integral:
left[ fracx^22 + 6x - fracx^33 right]_-2^1 = left(frac12 + 6 - frac13right) - left(2 - 12 + frac83right) = frac376 - left(-frac223right) = frac272$\left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + 6x - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{-2}^{1} = \left(\frac{1}{2} + 6 - \frac{1}{3}\right) - \left(2 - 12 + \frac{8}{3}\right) = \frac{37}{6} - \left(-\frac{22}{3}\right) = \frac{27}{2}$
Evaluating the second integral:
left[ 10x - frac3x^22 - fracx^33 right]_1^2 = left(20 - 6 - frac83right) - left(10 - frac32 - frac13right) = frac343 - frac496 = frac196$\left[ 10x - \frac{3x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{1}^{2} = \left(20 - 6 - \frac{8}{3}\right) - \left(10 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{34}{3} - \frac{49}{6} = \frac{19}{6}$
Total Area A$A$:
A = frac272 + frac196 = frac81 + 196 = frac1006 = frac503$A = \frac{27}{2} + \frac{19}{6} = \frac{81 + 19}{6} = \frac{100}{6} = \frac{50}{3}$
### Step 3: Calculate 3A
Multiplying the total area by 3:
3A = 3 cdot left(frac503right) = 50$3A = 3 \cdot \left(\frac{50}{3}\right) = 50$
