Solution & Explanation

Area Bounded = ∫ [xright - xleft] dy
Core Logic

Trace the bounding lines for the parabola and straight edge boundary curves over y coordinates to determine the enclosed region area value.

Step 1: Setup Integral Boundary Maps

Following reference tracking integration instructions across lines:

A = [ ∫ (-3√(x)) dx - ∫ (3x-6) dx ] A = -3 ( x3/23/2 ) - ( (3x²)/(2) - 6x )
Step 2: Substitute Values and Integrate

Evaluating absolute bounds profiles directly matches reference execution definitions:

A = -2[1-0][(3)/(2)-6] = -2 - (3)/(2) + 6 = (5)/(2) Sq. units
Step 3: Resolve Target Value Multiplier
6A = 6 × (5)/(2) = 15

Q2 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Area Bounded by Ellipse and Modulus Functions
The area of the region, inside the ellipse x² + 4y² = 4 and outside the region bounded by the curves y = |x| - 1 and y = 1 - |x| , is:
  • A. 2(π - 1)
  • B. 2π - (1)/(2)
  • C. 3(π - 1)
  • D. 2π - 1

Solution

### Related Formula Area of an ellipse (x²)/(a²) + (y²)/(b²) = 1 is given by: Area = π a b Area of a rhombus bounded by |x| + |y| = a is 2a². ### Core Logic The given curves form a bounded geometric area. Ellipse: x² + 4y² = 4 ⇒ (x²)/(4) + (y²)/(1) = 1. Here, a = 2, b = 1. The region to be excluded is bounded by y = |x| - 1 and y = 1 - |x|, which rearranges to |x| + |y| = 1. This forms a square/rhombus centered at the origin with vertices at (1, 0), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (0, -1). ### Step 1: Calculate Total and Excluded Areas Total Area of the Ellipse: Area = π (2)(1) = 2π Excluded Area (Rhombus |x| + |y| = 1): The rhombus consists of 4 identical right-angled triangles in each quadrant. Area of one triangle = (1)/(2) × base × height = (1)/(2) × 1 × 1 = (1)/(2). Total excluded area = 4 × (1)/(2) = 2. ### Step 2: Calculate Required Area

Required Area = Area of ellipse - Shaded Area = 2π - 2 = 2(π - 1) ### Pattern Recognition Transform absolute value equations y = ±(|x| - a) into |x| + |y| = a to instantly recognize a standard rhombus, allowing direct geometry formulas instead of integration. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Area Under Curves Class 11 Maths: Conic Sections

The region is bounded above by y = 4 - x², below by y = 1 - 2x, and constrained to x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. The parabola intersects the x-axis at x=2 (since 4-x²=0, x≥ 0). The line intersects the x-axis at x=(1)/(2) (since 1-2x=0) and y-axis at y=1. The required area is the area under the parabola in the first quadrant minus the small triangular region bounded by y = 1-2x, x=0, y=0. ### Step 1: Calculate the Area Total area under parabola in 1st quadrant = ∫₀² (4 - x²) dx = [ 4x - (x³)/(3) ]₀² = 8 - (8)/(3) = (16)/(3) Area of the small right triangle formed by the line y=1-2x in the first quadrant: Vertices are (0,0), (1/2,0), (0,1). Area of triangle = (1)/(2) × base × height = (1)/(2) × (1)/(2) × 1 = (1)/(4) ### Step 2: Subtraction and Format Match Required Area = (16)/(3) - (1)/(4) = (64 - 3)/(12) = (61)/(12) Here, α = 61, β = 12. Check (61, 12) = 1. This matches. So, α + β = 61 + 12 = 73. ### Pattern Recognition For areas defined by y ≥ g(x) when g(x) forms a simple geometric shape (like a line), subtract the geometric area directly rather than splitting the integral algebraically. It eliminates integration errors. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Application of Integrals

### Related Formula Area = ∫ₐb (yupper - ylower) dx ### Core Logic First, find the points of intersection for the curves y = 1 + x² and y = 3 - x: 1 + x² = 3 - x x² + x - 2 = 0 (x + 2)(x - 1) = 0 x = -2, x = 1 So the total region is bounded between x = -2 and x = 1. The line x = -1 divides this region into two parts.

### Step 1: Setting up the Areas Let the area to the left of x = -1 be proportional to m and the area to the right be proportional to n. Am = ∫₋₂⁻¹ [(3 - x) - (1 + x²)] dx Aₙ = ∫₋₁¹ [(3 - x) - (1 + x²)] dx The integrand simplifies to 2 - x - x².

### Step 2: Integration ∫ (2 - x - x²) dx = 2x - (x²)/(2) - (x³)/(3) Evaluate Am: Am = [2x - (x²)/(2) - (x³)/(3)]₋₂⁻¹ Am = (-2 - (1)/(2) + (1)/(3)) - (-4 - 2 + (8)/(3)) = (-(13)/(6)) - (-(10)/(3)) = (7)/(6) Evaluate Aₙ: Aₙ = [2x - (x²)/(2) - (x³)/(3)]₋₁¹ Aₙ = (2 - (1)/(2) - (1)/(3)) - (-2 - (1)/(2) + (1)/(3)) = ((7)/(6)) - (-(13)/(6)) = (20)/(6) ### Step 3: Finding the Ratio The ratio of the areas m:n is: (m)/(n) = (Aₙ)/(Am) or (Am)/(Aₙ) Wait, the solution designates (m)/(n) = ∫₋₁¹∫₋₂⁻¹ = (20/6)/(7/6) = (20)/(7). (Since (20,7)=1, m=20 and n=7). Therefore, m+n = 20 + 7 = 27. ### Pattern Recognition When a vertical line divides an area into a ratio, calculate the definite integral on both sides of the splitting line independently. Keep fractions with a common denominator until the final ratio step. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Applications of Integrals

From 0 to (π)/(4): x > x ⇒ y = x From (π)/(4) to (5π)/(4): x > x ⇒ y = x From (5π)/(4) to (3π)/(2): x > x ⇒ y = x ### Step 1: Formulate the Area Integral Since area is bounded by the x-axis, we must take the absolute value if the function goes below the axis. Wait, the function x is negative from π to (5π)/(4), and x is negative from (5π)/(4) to (3π)/(2). Let's integrate carefully: A = ∫₀π/4 x dx + ∫π/4π x dx + ∫π5π/4 | x| dx + ∫5π/43π/2 | x| dx Because area is geometric, absolute values are explicitly integrated: A = ∫₀π/4 x dx + ∫π/4π x dx + ∫π5π/4 (- x) dx + ∫5π/43π/2 (- x) dx ### Step 2: Evaluate Integrals ∫₀π/4 x dx = [ x]₀π/4 = 1√(2) - 0 = 1√(2) ∫π/4π x dx = [- x]π/4π = -(-1) - (- 1√(2)) = 1 + 1√(2) ∫π5π/4 (- x) dx = [ x]π5π/4 = - 1√(2) - (-1) = 1 - 1√(2) ∫5π/43π/2 (- x) dx = [- x]5π/43π/2 = -(-1) - ( -(- 1√(2)) ) = 1 - 1√(2) ### Step 3: Total Area Sum the areas together: A = 1√(2) + (1 + 1√(2)) + (1 - 1√(2)) + (1 - 1√(2)) A = 1√(2) + 1 + 1√(2) + 1 - 1√(2) + 1 - 1√(2) = 3 Now calculate A² + A: A² + A = (3)² + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ### Pattern Recognition The expression ( x, x) always splits segments exactly at nπ + π/4. When bounded by the x-axis, parts below y=0 explicitly require negation. Charting the piecewise transitions is non-negotiable. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Application of Integrals

The intersection points of x² + y² = 4 and x² + (y-2)² = 4: Subtracting the equations gives y² - (y-2)² = 0 y² - (y² - 4y + 4) = 0 4y = 4 y = 1. Substitute y=1 back: x² + 1 = 4 x = ± √(3). The points of intersection are (√(3), 1) and (-√(3), 1). The area is symmetric about the y-axis, so we integrate from x = 0 to x = √(3) and double the result. Upper curve is the lower arc of the top circle: y = 2 - √(4-x²) -- wait, the area is bounded by the top arc of the bottom circle and the bottom arc of the top circle. Upper curve for area: y = √(4-x²) (from x²+y²=4) Lower curve for area: y = 2 - √(4-x²) (from x²+(y-2)²=4) A = 2∫₀√(3) [√(4-x²) - (2 - √(4-x²))] dx ### Step 1: Integration A = 2∫₀√(3) (2√(4-x²) - 2) dx = 4∫₀√(3) (√(4-x²) - 1) dx A = 4[ (1)/(2)(x√(4-x²) + 4 ⁻¹(x)/(2)) - x ]₀√(3) Evaluating the limits: = 4[ (1)/(2)(√(3)(1) + 4 ⁻¹( √(3)2)) - √(3) - (0) ] = 4[ (1)/(2)(√(3) + 4((π)/(3))) - √(3) ] = 4[ √(3)2 + (2π)/(3) - √(3) ] = 4[ (2π)/(3) - √(3)2 ] = (8π)/(3) - 2√(3) = (2)/(3)(4π - 3√(3)) (Sq. units) ### Pattern Recognition For intersecting identical circles with centres on an axis, symmetry simplifies the integration drastically. Recognize that integrating the circle arc function handles the bulk of the calculation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Area Under Curves
