The intersection points of x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x^2 + (y-2)^2 = 4: Subtracting the equations gives y^2 - (y-2)^2 = 0 implies y^2 - (y^2 - 4y + 4) = 0 implies 4y = 4 implies y = 1. Substitute y=1 back: x^2 + 1 = 4 implies x = pm sqrt3. The points of intersection are (sqrt3, 1) and (-sqrt3, 1). The area is symmetric about the y-axis, so we integrate from x = 0 to x = sqrt3 and double the result. Upper curve is the lower arc of the top circle: y = 2 - sqrt4-x^2 -- 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 = sqrt4-x^2 (from x^2+y^2=4) Lower curve for area: y = 2 - sqrt4-x^2 (from x^2+(y-2)^2=4) A = 2int_0^sqrt3 left[sqrt4-x^2 - (2 - sqrt4-x^2)right] dx ### Step 1: Integration A = 2int_0^sqrt3 (2sqrt4-x^2 - 2) dx = 4int_0^sqrt3 (sqrt4-x^2 - 1) dx A = 4left[ frac12left(xsqrt4-x^2 + 4sin^-1fracx2right) - x right]_0^sqrt3 Evaluating the limits: = 4left[ frac12left(sqrt3(1) + 4sin^-1left(fracsqrt32right)right) - sqrt3 - (0) right] = 4left[ frac12left(sqrt3 + 4left(fracpi3right)right) - sqrt3 right] = 4left[ fracsqrt32 + frac2pi3 - sqrt3 right] = 4left[ frac2pi3 - fracsqrt32 right] = frac8pi3 - 2sqrt3 = frac23(4pi - 3sqrt3) text (Sq. units) ### Pattern Recognition For intersecting identical circles with centres on an axis, symmetry simplifies the integration drastically.

Q2 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Area Bounded by Ellipse and Modulus Functions
The area of the region, inside the ellipse x^2 + 4y^2 = 4 and outside the region bounded by the curves y = |x| - 1 and y = 1 - |x| , is:
  • A. 2(pi - 1)
  • B. 2pi - frac12
  • C. 3(pi - 1)
  • D. 2pi - 1

Solution

### Related Formula Area of an ellipse fracx^2a^2 + fracy^2b^2 = 1 is given by: textArea = pi a b Area of a rhombus bounded by |x| + |y| = a is 2a^2. ### Core Logic The given curves form a bounded geometric area. Ellipse: x^2 + 4y^2 = 4 Rightarrow fracx^24 + fracy^21 = 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: textArea = pi (2)(1) = 2pi Excluded Area (Rhombus |x| + |y| = 1): The rhombus consists of 4 identical right-angled triangles in each quadrant. Area of one triangle = frac12 times textbase times textheight = frac12 times 1 times 1 = frac12. Total excluded area = 4 times frac12 = 2. ### Step 2: Calculate Required Area

Required Area = Area of ellipse - Shaded Area = 2pi - 2 = 2(pi - 1) ### Pattern Recognition Transform absolute value equations y = pm(|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

Area under curve diagram for Q11 - JEE Main 2026 Evening
The region is bounded above by y = 4 - x^2, below by y = 1 - 2x, and constrained to x geq 0, y geq 0. The parabola intersects the x-axis at x=2 (since 4-x^2=0, xgeq 0). The line intersects the x-axis at x=frac12 (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 textTotal area under parabola in 1st quadrant = int_0^2 (4 - x^2) dx = left[ 4x - fracx^33 right]_0^2 = 8 - frac83 = frac163 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). textArea of triangle = frac12 times textbase times textheight = frac12 times frac12 times 1 = frac14 ### Step 2: Subtraction and Format Match textRequired Area = frac163 - frac14 = frac64 - 312 = frac6112 Here, alpha = 61, beta = 12. Check gcd(61, 12) = 1. This matches. So, alpha + beta = 61 + 12 = 73. ### Pattern Recognition For areas defined by y geq 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

Numerical Answer. Answer: 12 to 12

Solution

### Core Logic To evaluate the area under y = max \sin x, cos x\, we must identify where one function is greater than the other in [0, frac3pi2].

From 0 to fracpi4: cos x > sin x Rightarrow y = cos x From fracpi4 to frac5pi4: sin x > cos x Rightarrow y = sin x From frac5pi4 to frac3pi2: cos x > sin x Rightarrow y = cos 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 sin x is negative from pi to frac5pi4, and cos x is negative from frac5pi4 to frac3pi2. Let's integrate carefully: A = int_0^pi/4 cos x \, dx + int_pi/4^pi sin x \, dx + int_pi^5pi/4 |sin x| \, dx + int_5pi/4^3pi/2 |cos x| \, dx Because area is geometric, absolute values are explicitly integrated: A = int_0^pi/4 cos x \, dx + int_pi/4^pi sin x \, dx + int_pi^5pi/4 (-sin x) \, dx + int_5pi/4^3pi/2 (-cos x) \, dx ### Step 2: Evaluate Integrals int_0^pi/4 cos x \, dx = [sin x]_0^pi/4 = frac1sqrt2 - 0 = frac1sqrt2 int_pi/4^pi sin x \, dx = [-cos x]_pi/4^pi = -(-1) - left(-frac1sqrt2right) = 1 + frac1sqrt2 int_pi^5pi/4 (-sin x) \, dx = [cos x]_pi^5pi/4 = -frac1sqrt2 - (-1) = 1 - frac1sqrt2 int_5pi/4^3pi/2 (-cos x) \, dx = [-sin x]_5pi/4^3pi/2 = -(-1) - left( -left(-frac1sqrt2right) right) = 1 - frac1sqrt2 ### Step 3: Total Area Sum the areas together: A = frac1sqrt2 + left(1 + frac1sqrt2right) + left(1 - frac1sqrt2right) + left(1 - frac1sqrt2right) A = frac1sqrt2 + 1 + frac1sqrt2 + 1 - frac1sqrt2 + 1 - frac1sqrt2 = 3 Now calculate A^2 + A: A^2 + A = (3)^2 + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ### Pattern Recognition The expression max(sin x, cos x) always splits segments exactly at npi + pi/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
