Area Question 10

Question 10

  1. The area (in sq units) in the first quadrant bounded by the parabola, y=x2+1, the tangent to it at the point (2,5) and the coordinate axes is (2019 Main, 11 Jan II) (a) 143 (b) 18724 (c) 83 (d) 3724
Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Given, equation of parabola is y=x2+1, which can be written as x2=(y1). Clearly, vertex of parabola is (0,1) and it will open upward.

Now, equation of tangent at (2,5) is y+52=2x+1

[ Equation of the tangent at (x1,y1) is given by T=0. Here, 12(y+y1)=xx1+1] y=4x3

Required area = Area of shaded region

=02y( parabola )dx( Area of PQR) =02(x2+1)dx( Area of PQR) =x33+x122345

[ Area of a triangle =12× base × height ]

=83+2012545 =143258=1127524=3724
