Area enclosed between two symmetric functions across four quadrants:
α = 4 × ( Area of circle in 1st quadrant - ∫₀¹ yparabola dx )Core Logic
The curves are symmetric across the axes. The region is enclosed between the unit circle x² + y² = 1 and the parabolas y = ±(1 - x²).
By symmetry, the area α in the first quadrant is the area under the circle minus the area under the parabola from x=0 to x=1.
Step 1: Calculate the Area Components
Area of a circle quadrant with r=1 is (π)/(4).
Area under the parabola:
∫₀¹ (1 - x²) dx = [ x - (x³)/(3) ]₀¹ = 1 - (1)/(3) = (2)/(3)Step 2: Evaluate the Total Area
α = 4 [ (π)/(4) - (2)/(3) ] = π - (8)/(3)Multiplying both sides by 9:
9α = 9π - 24Comparing with 9α = βπ + γ, we get:
β = 9, γ = -24Hence,
|β - γ| = |9 - (-24)| = 33Pattern Recognition
Symmetry helps divide the integration work by 4. Recognizing standard shapes (like a circle sector) allows you to bypass complex integration entirely for half of the problem.
