Area = ∫ₐb (yupper - ylower) dxCore Logic
For A₁: Intersection of y = x² + 2 and x + y = 8.
x + (x² + 2) = 8 ⇒ x² + x - 6 = 0 ⇒ (x+3)(x-2) = 0.
In first quadrant, x = 2. Intersection point is (2, 6).
Step 1: Calculate A1
A₁ = ∫₀² ((8 - x) - (x² + 2)) dx = ∫₀² (6 - x - x²) dx A₁ = [ 6x - (x²)/(2) - (x³)/(3) ]₀² = 12 - 2 - (8)/(3) = 10 - (8)/(3) = (22)/(3)Step 2: Area A2 Definition
For A₂: Enclosed by y = x² + 2, y = √(x), x=2 and y-axis.
Upper curve: y = x²+2, Lower curve: y = √(x).
Step 3: Calculate A2
A₂ = ∫₀² (x² + 2 - √(x)) dx A₂ = [ (x³)/(3) + 2x - x3/23/2 ]₀² A₂ = (8)/(3) + 4 - (2)/(3)(23/2) = (20)/(3) - 4√(2)3Step 4: Difference of Areas
A₁ - A₂ = (22)/(3) - ( (20)/(3) - 4√(2)3 ) = (2)/(3) + 4√(2)3 = (2)/(3) (1 + 2√(2))Pattern Recognition
Carefully identify the bounding regions. A₁ uses a line as the upper bound, A₂ strips away a root curve as its lower bound. Integrating separately before subtracting avoids algebraic alignment errors.
