COMPREHENSION

Read the following comprehension carefully:

b
We know that the definite integral  ydx gives the area of the region, which is bounded by the curve y
a
= f(x), the x-axis and the two ordinates x = a, x = b.
Now consider a closed curve represented by the parametric equations
x = f(t), y = (t), t being parameter.
We suppose that the curve does not intersect itself. Suppose y
that as the parameter ‘t’ increases from a value t1 to the value
t2, the point P(x, y) describes the curve completely in the
counter-clockwise sense. The curve being closed, the point on
it corresponding to the value t 2 of the parameter is the same as
the point corresponding to the value t1 of the parameter. The
area of the region bounded by such a curve is given by the

The above formula gives the area enclosed by any closed curve whatsoever, provided only, that it does
not intersect itself; no restriction as to the manner in which the curve is situated relative to the coordinate
x2 y2
axes. For example, we find the area enclosed by the ellipse 2 + 2 = 1. The parametric equations of
a b
the ellipse are x = acos t, y = bsin t.
The ellipse is a closed curve and is completely described while t varies from 0 to 2.
