Area Question 13

Question 13

  1. The area (in sq units) bounded by the parabola y=x21, the tangent at the point (2,3) to it and the Y-axis is (a) 83 (b) 563 (c) 323 (d) 143
Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Given, equation of parabola is y=x21, which can be rewritten as x2=y+1 or x2=(y(1)).

Vertex of parabola is (0,1) and it is open upward.

Equation of tangent at (2,3) is given by T=0

y+y12=xx11, where, x1=2

 and y1=3 y+32=2x1 y=4x5

Now, required area = area of shaded region

=02(y (parabola) y( tangent ))dx

=02[(x21)(4x5)]dx

=02(x24x+4)dx=02(x2)2dx

=|(x2)33|02=(22)33(02)33=83 sq units.
