Area under a curve using definite integration bounded by curves:
Since both bounding graphs are symmetric about the y-axis, we can integrate over the positive domain (x ≥ 0$x \ge 0$) and double the result: Area Bounded by Curves and Absolute Value Functions diagram for Q70 - JEE Main 2025 Morning
Intersecting points: x² + 1 = 2x + 1 x = 2$x^2 + 1 = 2x + 1 \implies x = 2$.
Step 1: Setting Up the Bound Segments
The region splits into two integral segments based on which curve sits lower:
Segment 1: From 0$0$ to 2$2$, bounded by the parabola y = x² + 1$y = x^2 + 1$.
Segment 2: From 2$2$ to 3$3$, bounded by the straight line y = 2x + 1$y = 2x + 1$.
Exploiting structural symmetry drops the integration limits, avoiding messy sign evaluations with absolute terms.

Let A₁$A_{1}$ be the bounded area enclosed by the curves y = x² + 2$y = x^{2} + 2$, x + y = 8$x + y = 8$ and y-axis that lies in the first quadrant. Let A₂$A_{2}$ be the bounded area enclosed by the curves y = x² + 2$y = x^{2} + 2$, y² = x$y^{2} = x$, x = 2$x = 2$, and y-axis that lies in the first quadrant. Then A₁ - A₂$A_{1} - A_{2}$ is equal to
For A₁$A_1$: Intersection of y = x² + 2$y = x^2 + 2$ and x + y = 8$x + y = 8$.
x + (x² + 2) = 8 ⇒ x² + x - 6 = 0 ⇒ (x+3)(x-2) = 0$x + (x^2 + 2) = 8 \Rightarrow x^2 + x - 6 = 0 \Rightarrow (x+3)(x-2) = 0$.
In first quadrant, x = 2$x = 2$. Intersection point is (2, 6)$(2, 6)$.

Carefully identify the bounding regions. A₁$A_1$ uses a line as the upper bound, A₂$A_2$ strips away a root curve as its lower bound. Integrating separately before subtracting avoids algebraic alignment errors.

Q13jee_main_2026_28_january_morningArea under Curves
The area of the region R=(x,y):xy≤ 8, 1≤ y≤ x², x≥ 0$R=\{(x,y):xy\leq 8, 1\leq y\leq x^{2}, x\geq 0\}$ is
Area under Curves
The region is bounded by three primary curves in the first quadrant (x≥0$x\ge0$):
y ≥ 1$y \geq 1$ (horizontal line)
y ≤ x²$y \leq x^2$ (upward-opening parabola)
xy ≤ 8 y ≤ (8)/(x)$xy \leq 8 \implies y \leq \frac{8}{x}$ (rectangular hyperbola)
Find points of intersection:
Intersection of y = x²$y = x^2$ and y = (8)/(x)$y = \frac{8}{x}$:
x² = (8)/(x) x³ = 8 x = 2$$x^2 = \frac{8}{x} \implies x^3 = 8 \implies x = 2$$
At x = 2$x = 2$, y = 4$y = 4$. So they meet at (2, 4)$(2, 4)$.
Intersection of y = x²$y = x^2$ and y = 1$y = 1$:
x² = 1 x = 1$$x^2 = 1 \implies x = 1$$
Intersection of y = (8)/(x)$y = \frac{8}{x}$ and y = 1$y = 1$:
1 = (8)/(x) x = 8$$1 = \frac{8}{x} \implies x = 8$$
The region spans from x = 1$x = 1$ to x = 8$x = 8$. The upper boundary changes at x = 2$x = 2$.
Step 1: Set up Integrals
For x in [1, 2]$x \in [1, 2]$, the upper curve is y = x²$y = x^2$ and the lower is y = 1$y = 1$.
For x in [2, 8]$x \in [2, 8]$, the upper curve is y = (8)/(x)$y = \frac{8}{x}$ and the lower is y = 1$y = 1$.
Q11jee_main_2026_28_january_eveningArea Bounded by Parabolas and Lines
Let P₁: y = 4x²$P_{1}: y = 4x^{2}$ and P₂: y = x² + 27$P_{2}: y = x^{2} + 27$ be two parabolas. If the area of the bounded region enclosed between P₁$P_{1}$ and P₂$P_{2}$ is six times the area of the bounded region enclosed between the line y = α x, α > 0$y = \alpha x, \alpha > 0$ and P₁$P_{1}$, then α$\alpha$ is equal to:
A.8$8$
B.15$15$
C.12$12$
D.6$6$
Solution
Related Formula
Area enclosed by y = f(x)$y = f(x)$ and y = g(x)$y = g(x)$ from x=a$x=a$ to x=b$x=b$:
Area between P₁$P_1$ and y = α x$y = \alpha x$ is given as 108 / 6 = 18$108 / 6 = 18$ sq. units.
For x² = 4ay$x^2 = 4ay$ and x = my$x = my$, area is (8a²)/(3m³)$\frac{8a^2}{3m^3}$.
Here, the parabola is x² = (y)/(4)$x^2 = \frac{y}{4}$ and line is x = (y)/(α)$x = \frac{y}{\alpha}$.
Thus, 4a = (1)/(4) ⇒ a = (1)/(16)$4a = \frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{16}$, and m = (1)/(α)$m = \frac{1}{\alpha}$.
Using the standard result (8a²)/(3m³)$\frac{8a^2}{3m^3}$ for the area bounded between x²=4ay$x^2=4ay$ and x=my$x=my$ avoids tedious integration for straight lines intersecting parabolas at the origin.

Step 1: Unpack Bounding Curves
The condition |4-x²| ≤ y$|4-x^2| \le y$ splits into two sections at x=2$x=2$:
For 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 4 - x² ≤ y x² ≥ 4 - y x = √(4-y)$0 \le x \le 2 \implies 4 - x^2 \le y \implies x^2 \ge 4 - y \implies x = \sqrt{4-y}$
For x ≥ 2 x² - 4 ≤ y x² ≤ 4 + y x = √(4+y)$x \ge 2 \implies x^2 - 4 \le y \implies x^2 \le 4 + y \implies x = \sqrt{4+y}$
Also bounded by y ≤ x² x ≥ √(y)$y \le x^2 \implies x \ge \sqrt{y}$, and the outer cap constraint y ≤ 4$y \le 4$.
Step 2: Construct the Integral Area Formula
Integrating with respect to y$y$ covers the region bounded on the left by √(y)$\sqrt{y}$ and √(4-y)$\sqrt{4-y}$, and on the right by √(4+y)$\sqrt{4+y}$:
A = ∫₀⁴ √(4+y) dy - ∫₀² √(4-y) dy - ∫₂⁴ √(y) dy$$A = \int_{0}^{4} \sqrt{4+y} \, \mathrm{d}y - \int_{0}^{2} \sqrt{4-y} \, \mathrm{d}y - \int_{2}^{4} \sqrt{y} \, \mathrm{d}y$$
Integrating along the vertical axis (y$y$-direction) is significantly faster here because it avoids splitting the domain across multiple vertical segments on the horizontal x$x$-axis.

The area between two continuous curves yupper(x)$y_{\text{upper}}(x)$ and ylower(x)$y_{\text{lower}}(x)$ from x=a$x=a$ to x=b$x=b$ is given by:
This gives the upper bounding parabolic curve y = 4√(x)$y = 4\sqrt{x}$.
Thus, the enclosed region lies in the first quadrant bounded between the upper curve y = 4√(x)$y = 4\sqrt{x}$ and the lower line y = (x)/(2)$y = \frac{x}{2}$.
Step 1: Finding Points of Intersection
Equating the two boundary curves:
4√(x) = (x)/(2) 8√(x) = x x² - 64x = 0$$4\sqrt{x} = \frac{x}{2} \implies 8\sqrt{x} = x \implies x^2 - 64x = 0$$x = 0 or x = 64$$\implies x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 64$$
Corresponding y$y$-values:
At x = 0 y = 0$x = 0 \implies y = 0$
At x = 64 y = 32$x = 64 \implies y = 32$
The curves intersect at (0, 0)$(0, 0)$ and (64, 32)$(64, 32)$.
