KEY CONCEPTS
THINGS TO REMEMBER :
1. The area bounded bythe curve y= f(x) , the x-axis and the ordinates
at x = a & x = b is given by,
b b
A=  f (x) dx =  y dx.
a a
2. If the area is below the xaxis thenAis negative. The convention is
to consider the magnitude only i.e.
b
A=  y dx in this case.
a

3. Area between the curves y = f (x) & y = g (x) between the

ordinates at x = a & x = b is given by,
b b b
A=  f (x) dx   g (x) dx =  [ f (x)  g (x) ] dx.
a a a
4. Average value of a function y = f (x) w.r.t. x over an
interval a  x  b is defined as :
b
1
y(av) =
ba  f (x) dx.
a

d A xa
5. The area function Axa satisfies the differential equation = f (x) with initial condition A aa = 0.
dx
Note : If F (x) is any integral of f (x) then ,
A xa =  f (x) dx = F (x) + c Aaa = 0 = F (a) + c  c =  F (a)
hence A xa = F (x)  F (a). Finally by taking x = b we get , Aab = F (b)  F (a).

6. CURVE TRACING :
The following outline procedure is to be applied in Sketching the graph of a function y = f (x) which in
turn will be extremely useful to quickly and correctly evaluate the area under the curves.
(a) Symmetry : The symmetry of the curve is judged as follows :
(i) If all the powers of y in the equation are even then the curve is symmetrical about the axis of x.
(ii) If all the powers of x are even , the curve is symmetrical about the axis of y.
(iii) If powers of x & y both are even, the curve is symmetrical about the axis of x as well as y.
(iv) If the equation of the curve remains unchanged on interchanging x and y, then the curve is symmetrical
about y = x.
(v) If on interchanging the signs of x & y both the equation of the curve is unaltered then there is symmetry
in opposite quadrants.
(b) Find dy/dx & equate it to zero to find the points on the curve where you have horizontal tangents.
(c) Find the points where the curve crosses the xaxis & also the yaxis.
(d) Examine if possible the intervals when f (x) is increasing or decreasing. Examine what happens to ‘y’
when x   or  .
7. USEFUL RESULTS :
(i) Whole area of the ellipse, x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 is  ab.
(ii) Area enclosed between the parabolas y2 = 4 ax & x2 = 4 by is 16ab/3.
(iii) Area included between the parabola y2 = 4 ax & the line y = mx is 8 a2/3 m3.

SOLVED EXAMPLES

1. Find the area of the region included between the parabola y  and the line 3x – 2y + 12 = 0.
4
Sol. The given equations are
3x 2
y ......(i)
4
and, 3x– 2y + 12 = 0 ......(ii)

Equation (i) represents a parabola having vertex at the origin, axis along the positive direction of y-axis
3x 2
and opens upwards. A free hand sketch of the parabola y  is shown in Figure.
4
Equation 3x – 2y + 12 = 0 represents a straight line. Putting y = 0 and x = 0 respectively in (ii), we
obtain x = – 4 and y = 6 respectively. So, the straight line given by (ii) meets x-axis at (–4, 0) and y- axis
at (0, 6).
A rough sketch of the curves represented by (i) and (ii) is shown in Figure.

In order to find the points of intersection of the given parabola and the line, we solve (i) and (ii)
simultaneouslysolving.
These two equations simultaneously, we find that the two curves intersect at the poins (–2, 3) and
(4, 12). Here, we slice the shaded area into vertical strips. We find that each vertical strip runs from the
parabola to the line. So, the approximating rectangle shown in figure has width x, length (y2 – y1) and
the area (y2 – y1) x. Since the approximating rectangle can move from x = – 2 to x = 4 So,

2. Find the area bounded by the curve y2 = 4a2(x – 1) and the lines x = 1 and y = 4a.
Sol. We have, y2 = 4a2 (x – 1) or, (y – 0)2 = 4a2(x – 1).
Clearly, this equation represents a parabola with vertex at (1, 0) as shown in figure. The area enclosed
by y2 = 4a2 (x – 1), x = 1 and y = 4a is the area of shaded portion in figure.

When we slice the area of the shaded portion in horizontal strips, we observe that each strip has its one
end on the line x = 1 and the other end on the parabola y2 = 4a2 (x – 1). So, the approximating rectangle
shown in figure has, length = x – 1, witdth = y and area = (x – 1)y. Since, the approximating rectangle
can move from y = 0 to y = 4a.

3. Find the area bounded by the curve y = 2x – x2 and the straight line y = – x.
Sol. The curve y = 2x – x2 represents a parabola opening downward and crossing x-axis at (0, 0) and (2, 0).
Clearly, y = – x represnts a line passing through the origin and making 135° with x-axis.Arough sketch
of the two curves is shown in figure. The region whose area is to be found is shaded in figure. Here, we
slice the shaded region into vertical strips. For the approximating rectangle shown in Figure, we have,

4. Find the area bounded by the curves y2 = 4a (x + a) and y2 = 4b (b – x), where a, b > 0.
Sol. The two curves are :
y2 = 4a (x + a) ......(i)
2
and, y = – 4a (x – b) ......(ii)
Clearly, these two curves represent two parabolas having their vertices at (–a, 0) and (b, 0) respectively
as shown in figure.

To find the coordinates of their points of intersection, we solve (i) and (ii) together. Solving these equations,
we find that the two curves intersect at A (b – a, 2 ab) and B (b – a, – 2 ab) . We have to find the
area of the shaded region in Figure. Let us slice this region into horizontal strips. For the approximating
rectangle shown in figure. We have
Length = PQ = (x1 – x2), Width = y and Area = (x2 – x1) y
The approximating rectangle can move vertically between B andA.

5. Sketch the curves and identify the region bounded by the curves x  , x = 2, y = log x and y = 2x. Find
2
the area of this region.
Sol. Since the inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function and vice-versa and these two curves
are on the opposite sides of the line y = x. Thus, y = 2x and y = log x do not intersect. Their graphs are
shown in figure. The shaded region in figure shows the ara bounded by the given curves. Let us slice this
region into vertiacal strips as shown in figure. For the approximating rectangle shown in figure, we have

6. Find the smaller of the region bounded by the curves (x – 1)2 + 4 (y – 1)2 = 4 and 4(y – 1)2 = 3(x – 1).
Sol. The equation (x – 1)2 + 4 (y – 1)2 = 4 represents an ellipse with centre (1, 1) and the equation
4 (y – 1)2 = 3 (x – 1) represents a parabola with vertex (1, 1). If we shift the origin at (1, 1), then the
equation of the two curves become
X2 + 4Y2 = 1 .....(i)
2
and, 4Y = 3X .....(ii)
Since the area of the region bounded by the given curves does not change by the shifting of origin.
So,
Required area = Area enclosed by (i) and (ii) in the new system.
Solving (i) and (ii), we obtain the coordinates of their points of intersection as marked in figure. The
region enclosed by the curves (i) and (ii) is shaded in Figure. For the approximating rectangle LM
shown in figure, we have
Length = (x2 – x1), width =dy.
As it can move vertically from B (1, – 3 / 2) to A (1, 3 / 2).

8. The two curves y 2  4a(x  2), a  0 and x 2  y 2  4 intersect each other on points A and B. Find all
possible values of ‘a’ so that the area of the region bounded by the parabola and the chord AB is
maximum.
Sol. The equations of the two curves are :
y2 = 4a(x + 2) ......(i)
2 2
and, x +y = 4 ......(ii)
Clearly, y2 = 4a (x + 2) represents a parabola with vertex (– 2, 0) and opening rightward. The equation
x2 + y2 = 4 represents a circle of radius 2 having centre at the origin.
The x-coordinates of the point of intersection of (i) and (ii) is given by
x2 + 4a (x + 2)
 x2 + 4ax + 8a – 4 = 0
 x = – 2, x = 2 – 4a.
Thus, the two cruves intersect at (–2, 0) and (2 – 4a ,  3  8a –16a 2 )

Sol. y = x is a parabola which we denote by P. Let C be the curve y = 2/(1 + x ).
Now (i) C is symmetric about y-axis.
(ii) C meets y-axis in (0, 2) and cannot meet x-axis.
(iii) x   y  0 and y  0.
