Area Question 35

Question 35

  1. Let b0 and for j=0,1,2,n. If Sj is the area of the region bounded by the Y-axis and the curve xeay=sinby,jπby(j+1)π(b). Then, show that

S0,S1,S2,,Sn are in geometric progression. Also, find their sum for a=1 and b=π.

Solution:

  1. Given, x=(sinby)eay

Now,

1sin by 1

eayeaysinbyeay

eayxeay

In this case, if we take a and b positive, the values eay and eay become left bond and right bond of the curve and due to oscillating nature of sin by, it will oscillate between x=eay and x=eay

Now, Sj=jπ/b(j+1)π/bsinbyeaydy
