Let f(alpha) denote the area of the region in the first quadrant bounded by x = 0, x = 1, y^2 = x and y = |alpha x - 5| - |1 - alpha x| + alpha x^2. Then (f(0) + f(1)) is equal to

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula textArea = int_x_1^x_2 (y_textupper - y_textlower) dx ### Core Logic Evaluate f(0) by setting alpha = 0 in the function for y. At alpha = 0 implies y = |0cdot x - 5| - |1 - 0cdot x| + 0cdot x^2 y = |-5| - |1| = 5 - 1 = 4 So for f(0), the bounded area A_1 is between y = 4, y = sqrtx, from x = 0 to x = 1.

### Step 1: Calculating f(0) A_1 = int_0^1 (4 - sqrtx) dx = left[ 4x - fracx^3/23/2 right]_0^1 = 4(1) - frac23(1) = frac103 So, f(0) = frac103. ### Step 2: Determining curve for f(1) Evaluate f(1) by setting alpha = 1 in the function for y. At alpha = 1 implies y = |x - 5| - |1 - x| + x^2. Since the area is restricted to x in [0, 1]: x - 5 is negative, so |x - 5| = 5 - x. 1 - x is positive, so |1 - x| = 1 - x. y = (5 - x) - (1 - x) + x^2 y = 5 - x - 1 + x + x^2 = 4 + x^2

### Step 3: Calculating f(1) For f(1), the bounded area A_2 is between y = 4 + x^2 and y = sqrtx, from x = 0 to x = 1. A_2 = int_0^1 left((4 + x^2) - sqrtxright) dx = left[ 4x + fracx^33 - fracx^3/23/2 right]_0^1 = left( 4 + frac13 - frac23 right) = 4 - frac13 = frac113 So, f(1) = frac113. ### Step 4: Final Sum |f(0) + f(1)| = left| A_1 + A_2 right| = left| frac103 + frac113 right| = frac213 = 7

### Pattern Recognition Modulus functions combined with parametric limits should be instantly resolved by plugging in the bounds of x (here [0,1]) to drop the absolute value signs before attempting any integral. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Area Under the Curve Class 11 Maths: Modulus Function
