    Application of Integrals

    Concepts:
    Chapter 8 – Application of Integrals class 12 CBSE covers the following
    concepts:

     Introduction
     Areas and Simple curves
     The area of a region bounded by a curve and a line
     The area between the two curves

    From the previous classes, we are already aware of the various method of
    integration in maths. In this article, let us look at the various application of
    integrals class 12 Maths.

    One of the major application of integrals is in determining the area under the
    curves.

    Consider a function y = f(x), then the area is given as


    A = f b/a dA = f b/a y.dx = f b/a f(x)dx

    Consider the two curves having equation of f(x) and g(x), the area between
    the region a,b of the two curves is given as-

    dA = f(x) – g(x)]dx, and the total area A can be taken as-

    A = f b/a I f(x) – g(x) I dx

    Application of Integrals Example


    Example:

    Determine the area enclosed by the circle x2 + y2 = a2

    Solution:

    Given, circle equation is x2 + y2 = a2

    From the given figure, we can say that the whole area enclosed by the given
    circle is as

    = 4(Area of the region AOBA bounded by the curve, coordinates x=0 and x=a,
    and the x-axis)
    As the circle is symmetric about both x-axis and y-axis, the equation can be
    written as

    = 4 0∫a y dx (By taking the vertical strips) ….(1)

    From the given circle equation, y can be written as

    y = ±√(a2-x2)

    As the region, AOBA lies in the first quadrant of the circle, we can take y as
    positive, so the value of y becomes √(a2-x2)

    Now, substitute y = √(a2-x2) in equation (1), we get

    = 4 0∫a √(a2-x2) dx

    Integrate the above function, we get

    = 4 [(x/2)√(a2-x2) +(a2/2)sin-1(x/a)]0 a

    Now, substitute the upper and lower limit, we get

    = 4[{(a/2)(0)+(a2/2)sin-1 1}-{0}]

    = 4(a2/2)(π/2)

    = πa2.

    Hence, the area enclosed by the circle x2 +y2 =a2 is πa2.

    Let’s have a look at the example to understand how to find the area of the
    region bounded by a curve and a line.
