The area between two continuous curves yupper(x) and ylower(x) from x=a to x=b is given by:
Area = ∫ₐ^b ( yupper - ylower ) dxCore Logic
Analyze the given inequality condition |x - y| ≤ y ≤ 4√(x):
- Left Inequality:
Adding y across all terms: 0 ≤ x ≤ 2y This yields two conditions:
- x ≥ 0
- y ≥ (x)/(2) (lower bounding line)
- Right Inequality:
This gives the upper bounding parabolic curve y = 4√(x).
Thus, the enclosed region lies in the first quadrant bounded between the upper curve y = 4√(x) and the lower line y = (x)/(2).
Step 1: Finding Points of Intersection
Equating the two boundary curves:
4√(x) = (x)/(2) 8√(x) = x x² - 64x = 0 x = 0 or x = 64Corresponding y-values:
- At x = 0 y = 0
- At x = 64 y = 32
The curves intersect at (0, 0) and (64, 32).
Step 2: Area Integration
Integrating with respect to x from x = 0 to x = 64: aligned Area &= ∫₀⁶⁴ ( 4√(x) - (x)/(2) ) dx &= [ (8)/(3)x3/2 - (x²)/(4) ]₀⁶⁴ &= (8)/(3)(64)3/2 - ((64)²)/(4) &= (8)/(3)(512) - (4096)/(4) &= (4096)/(3) - 1024 &= (4096 - 3072)/(3) &= (1024)/(3) aligned
Pattern Recognition (Alternative Verification)
For the area enclosed between a parabola y² = 4ax and a line y = mx:
Area = (8a²)/(3m³)Given y² = 16x 4a = 16 a = 4, and y = (1)/(2)x m = (1)/(2):
Area = (8(4)²)/(3((1)/(2))³) = (8 × 16)/(3 × (1)/(8)) = (128 × 8)/(3) = (1024)/(3)Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer
Correct Answer: Option B ((1024)/(3))
