Area Question 19

Question 19

  1. The area enclosed by the curves y=sinx+cosx and y=|cosxsinx| over the interval 0,π2 is (2014 Adv.) (a) 4(21) (c) 2(2+1) (b) 22(21) (d) 22(2+1)
Show Answer

Solution:

  1. PLAN To find the bounded area between y=f(x) and y=g(x) between x= a to x=b.

Area bounded =aε[g(x)f(x)]dx+ab[f(x)g(x)]dx

=ab|f(x)g(x)|dx

Here,

f(x)=y=sinx+cosx, when 0xπ2

and

g(x)=y=|cosxsinx|

=cosxsinx,0xπ4 sinxcosx,π4xπ2

could be shown as

Area bounded =0π/4(sinx+cosx)(cosxsinx)dx +π/4π/2(sinx+cosx)(sinxcosx)dx =0π/42sinxdx+π/4π/22cosxdx

$=-2[\cos x]{0}^{\pi / 4}+2[\sin x \cdot n]{\pi / 4}^{\pi / 2}=4-2 \sqrt{2}=2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)$ sq units
