Question:1

Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y2=9x,y=3x.

Answer:

It is mentioned in the question that,
y2=9x belongs to a parabola and y=3x belong to a straight line which passes through origin.
Starting with a rough figure showing those equations below,
From the parabola equations it is seen that x cannot be negative, so the graph would be on the right of the X-axis. The parabola would thus be opening to the right.


To find the points of the two equations mentioned, you have to solve the two equations simultaneously.
 Put y=3x in y2=9x(3x)2=9x9x2=9xx2x=0x(x1)=0x=0 and x=1
We got the coordinates of x, to find the coordinates of y.
Put x = 1 and x = 0 in the equation of y = 3x.
It is found that y coordinates are y = 3 and y = 0, respectively.
Therefore, the point of interaction of parabola and straight line is (1, 3) and (0, 0)
Now, calculate the area enclosed between the parabola and the straight line.
For calculating the area, we have to subtract the area under the straight line which extends from x = 0 to x = 1 from the area under the parabola.
It can be written as,
Area between parabola and straight line = area under parabola – area under straight line …. (1)

On calculating the area under the parabola,
y2=9x
y=3x
On integrating the above equation from 0 to 1
01ydx=301xdx01ydx=301x12dx01ydx=3[x12+112+1]0101ydx=3[x3232]01
01ydx=323[x32]0101ydx=2[1320]01ydx=2
Now, for calculating the area under line y = 3x i.e. the area of triangle OAB
y=3x
On integrating the above equation from 0 to 1
01ydx=013xdx01ydx=3[x22]0101ydx=3(1220)01ydx=32

Using the equation mentioned above (1)
area between parabola and straight line =232=1/2 unit2
Therefore,
It is found that the area was 1/2 unit2 between the curves y2=9xandy=3x.

Question:2

Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola y2=2px,x2=2py

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is y2=2px, which shows no negative values for x. Therefore, the graph will be on the right of the Y-axis and will pass through (0, 0)
Similarly, for equations x2=2py, there are no negative values for y, therefore, the graph will be above the X axis passing through (0, 0).
To find a point of interaction, let us solve the equations simultaneously.
 Put y=x22p in y2=2px(x22p)2=2pxx44p2=2pxx4=8p3xx3=8p3
x=2p Put x=2p in y2=2pxy2=2p(2p)y=2p
The interaction point was found to be (2p, 2p)

Now, we have to find out the areas between the two parabolas.
The equation can be written as
The area between the two parabolas = area under the parabola
y2=2pxarea under the parabola x2=2py(1)
For finding the area undery2=2pxparabola

y=2px

Integrating the equation from 0 to 2p
02pydx=2p02pxdx02pydx=2p02px12dx02pydx=2p[x12+112+1]02p02pydx=2p[x3232]02p02pydx=2p23[(2p)320]
02pydx=23(2p)12(2p)3202pydx=23(2p)12+3202pydx=23(2p)202pydx=8p23
For finding the area under x2=2py parabola

y=x2/2p

Integrating from 0 to 2p
02pydx=02px22pdx02pydx=12p[x33]02p02pydx=12p[(2p)33]02pydx=(2p)2302pydx=4p23
Using
(i)
area bounded by two parabolas given =8p234p23 area bounded by two parabolas given =4p23

Hence area is 4p23 unit 2

Question:3

Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y=x3 and y = x + 6 and x = 0.

Answer:

Let's start with a rough plot of the curve y=x3 along with the lines y=x+6 and x=0 When X=0, it means Y axis

The questions say to find the area between the curve and the line and Y axis
First solve the y=x+6 and y=x3, in order to find the interaction point

 Put y=x3 in y=x+6x3=x+6x3x6=0
For checking 0,1,2 satisfies this cubic, showing 2 is one factor, therefore x2 is a factor.
Solving the equation,

(x2)(x2+2x+3)=0
Observe that x2+2x+3 doesn't have real roots
Therefore, x=2
Substituting this x=2 in y=x+6,y=8
Therefore, curves intersect at (2,8)



The area bounded will be
Area bounded = area by y=x3 on Y axis - area by y=x+6 on Y axis

For finding the area under y=x3

x=y3
Integrate the equation from 0 to 8

08xdy=08y13dy08xdy=[y13+113+1]0808xdy=34(23)4308xdy=[y4343]0808xdy=342408xdy=34[y43]0808xdy=341608xdy=34[84/30]


Now, finding the area under y=x+6
For finding the area from 6 to 8 because the line passes through the Y axis at 6 and extends up to 8, the point where curve and line intersect

 item X=y6


Integrating from 6 to 8

68xdy=68(y6)dy

68xdy=[(8226(8))(6226(6))]68xdy=[324818+36]68xdy=2


Using the equation (1)
Area bound was found to be 12-2 = 10unit2
Therefore, the area was found to be 10 unit 2

Question:4

Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y2=4x,x2=4y.

Answer:

The equation y2=4x is a parabola, and no negative values of x are seen, therefore, this parabola lies to the right of the Y axis passing through (0, 0)

Similarly, for x2=4y, which is a parabola, not-defined negative values of y lie above the X-axis and pass through (0, 0)

To find a point of interaction, solve simultaneously.
 Put y=x24 in y2=4x(x24)2=4xx416=4xx4=64xx3=64x=4 Put x=4 in y2=4xy2=4(4)y=4

The point of interaction is, therefore (4, 4)
For finding the area between two parabolas
Area between two parabolas = area under parabola y2=4xarea under parabola x2=4y.(1)

Let us find area under parabola y2=4x

=y=2x
Integrate from 0 to 4
04ydx=204xdx04ydx=204x12dx04ydx=2[x12+112+1]0404ydx=2[x3232]0404ydx=43[x32]0404ydx=43[4320]04ydx=43(22)32

04ydx=43(2)304ydx=323
To find area under parabola x2=4y

=x2=4y

04ydx=43(2)3

04ydx=323

Now let us find area under parabola

x2=4yx2=4yy=x24 Integrate from 0 to 4

04ydx=04x24 dx

04ydx=14[x33]04

04ydx=14[433]04ydx=42304ydx=163Using (i)

area bounded by two parabolas given=323163 area bounded by two parabolas given=163
Therefore, the area is found to be 163 unit 2

Question:5

Find the area of the region included between y2=9x and y = x

Answer:

The equationy2=9x has no negative values of x. Therefore it lies on the right of the Y axis passing through (0, 0).

And y = x depicts a straight line through the origin.
To find the area, see the picture shown below.





To find the point of interaction, solve the two equations simultaneously.
Puty=x in y2=9xx2=9xx=9Putx=9iny=x we get y=9

Therefore, the point of interaction is (9, 9)

The area between the parabola and line = area under parabola – area under line (1)

Let us find the area under the parabola
y2=9xy=3xIntegrate from 0 to 909ydx=093x12dx09ydx=3[x12+112+1]0909ydx=3[x3232]09
09ydx=323[9320]09ydx=2(32)3209ydx=2(33)09ydx=54
Now let us find area under straight line y=x
y=x
Integrate from 0 to 9
09ydx=09xdx09ydx=[x22]0909ydx=(9220)09ydx=81209ydx=40.5
Using (i)
area between parabola and line =5440.5=13.5unit2
Therefore, the area was found to be 13.5unit2.

Question:6

Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola x2=y and the line y = x + 2

Answer:

The equation x2=y depicts a parabola and has no negative values for y, therefore, it lies above the X-axis and passes through another origin (0, 0).

And y = x + 2 is a straight line.

The below figure shows the area to be found,

Let’s find the point of interaction of the two equations.

Put y=x+2inx2=yx2=x+2

x2x2=0x22x+x2=0x(x2)+1(x2)=0

(x+1)(x2)=0

x=1 and x=2

Put x=1 and x=2inx2=y we get y=1 and y=4respectively
The point of interaction was found to be (-1, 1) and (2, 4)

The area between the line and parabola = area under line – area under a parabola

Let us find the area under line y=x+2

y=x+2Integrate from -1 to 212ydx=12(x+2)dx

12y dx=[x22+2x]12

12ydx=[(222+2(2))((1)22+2(1))]

12ydx=6(122)

12ydx=6(32)

12ydx=6+3212ydx=152


Now, let us find the area under the parabola
x2=yy=x2Integrate from -1 to 2 12ydx=12x2dx
12ydx=[x33]1212ydx=(233(1)33)12ydx=(83+13)12ydx=3 Using (i)  area enclosed by line and parabola =1523=92 unit 2
Therefore, the area was found to be92 unit 2

Question:7

Find the area of region bounded by the line x = 2 and the parabola y2=8x

Answer:

The equation y2=8x is a parabola not defining negative values of x, therefore, it lies to the right of the Y axis passing through the origin.
And x = 2 is a straight line parallel to the Y-axis.
The below figure shows the area to be calculated.

We have to integrate y2=8x

Y=22x from 0 to 2

On integrating the above equation from 0 to 2, it would give area enclosed under quadrant 1 only. Therefore, to find the area in quadrant 2, we have to multiply it by 2 since it is symmetrical.
Therefore the area ODBC = 2 x area OBC .(1)
Let us find the area under the parabola
y2=8xy=22xIntegrate from 0 to 202ydx=0222x12dx02ydx=22[x12+112+1]0202ydx=22[x3232]02

02ydx=2223[x32]0202ydx=43(212)(2320)02ydx=43(212+32)02ydx=43(22)02ydx=163areaOBC=163 Using (i) 

The shaded areaOCBD =2×163

Hence area bounded =323 unit 2

Question:8

Sketch the region {(x,0);y=4x2}and x-axis. Find the area of the region using integration.

Answer:

y=4x2
Square both sides

y2=4x2x2+y2=4x2+y2=22
The above equation depicts a circle with an origin and radius of 2
Equation of X axis is y=0
Point of interaction are (2,0) and (2,0)
The below figure shows the area



Now, let us find the area
y=4x2
Integrate from -2 to 2
22ydx=224x2 dx
 Using uv rule of integration where u and v are functions of xabuvdx=[uvdx]abab(uvdx)dx Here u=4x2 and v=1 Hence u=12(4x2)121(2x)=x4x222ydx=[4x21dx]2222(x4x2)(1dx)dx22ydx=[4x2(x)]2222(x24x2)dx22ydx=(422(2))(4(2)2(2))22(4x244x2)dx

22ydx=22(4x24x244x2)dx

22ydx=224x2dx+2244x2dx But y=4x2

22ydx=22ydx+2244x2dx

22ydx+22ydx=2244x2dx

22ydx=222122x2dx
 We know that 1a2x2dx=sin1xa22ydx=2[sin1x2]2222ydx=2(sin122sin122)22ydx=2(π2(π2))22ydx=2(π2+π2)22ydx=2π Hence area is 2π unit 2

Question:9

Calculate the area under the curve y=2x included between the lines x = 0 and x = 1.

Answer:

y=2x will be the parabolic curve of y2=4x only in 1st  quadrant x=0 is the equation of the Y-axis and x=1 is a line parallel to Y -axis passing through (1,0). Plot equations y=2x and X=1

So we have to integrate y=2x from 0 to 1 let us find area under parabola

y=2x
Integrate from 0 to 1

01ydx=012x12dx01ydx=2[x12+112+1]0101ydx=2[x3232]0101ydx=223[x32]0101ydx=43(1320)02ydx=43
Therefore, the area found to be

43 unit 2

Question:10

Using integration, find the area of the region bounded by the line 2y = 5x + 7, x-axis and the lines x = 2 and x = 8.

Answer:

The equation of the line is 2y = 5x + 7
Now, we need the point of the line, so we substitute x = 0 and then y = 0
Putx=02y=5(0)+7y=72Puty=02(0)=5x+75x=7x=75
Hence(0,72)and(75,0) are the required two points to draw the line 2y=5x+7
The other two, x = 2 and x = 8, are straight lines parallel to the Y axis.
On plotting all the above lines.

We have to find area under the y=5x+7 that is y=1/2(5x+7) from 2 to 8 y=1/2(5x+7) Integrate from 2 to 8

28ydx=1228(5x+7)dx

28ydx=12[5x22+7x]28

28ydx=12[(5(8)22+7(8))(5(2)22+7(2))]

28ydx=12[(160+56)(10+14)]
28ydx=12(192)28ydx=96 Hence the area bounded by given lines is 96 unit 2

Question:11

Draw a rough sketch of the curve y=x1 in the interval [1, 5]. Find the area under the curve and between the lines x = 1 and x = 5.

Answer:

y=x1
Squaring both sides
y2=x1y2=x1 is equation of a parabola

The above equation has no values for x less than 1, therefore, the parabola will be right of x = 1

Now observe that in y=x1x1andy has to positive because of square root hence x and y both positive hence the parabola will be drawn only in 1st  quadrant

We have to plot the curve in [1,5], so just draw the parabolic curve from x=1 to x=5 in 1st  quadrant
x=1 and x=5 are lines parallel to Y-axis



So we have to integrate y=x1 from 1 to 5
Let us find the area under the parabolic curve
y=x1
Integrate from 1 to 5
15ydx=15(x1)12dx15ydx=[(x1)12+112+1]1515ydx=[(x1)3232]15

15ydx=23[(x1)32]1515ydx=23((51)320)15ydx=23(22)3215ydx=23×2315ydx=163 Hence area bounded =163 unit 2

Question:12

Determine the area under the curve y=a2x2 included between the lines x = 0 and x = a

Answer:

y=a2x2
Squaring both sides

y2=a2x2x2+y2=a2
The above equation is of a circle having centre as (0,0) and radius a .Now in y=a2x2axa and y0 which means x and y both positive or x negative and y positive hence the curve y=a2x2 has to be above X-axis in 1st  and 2nd  quadrant
x=0 is equation of Y-axis and x=a is a line parallel to Y-axis passing through (a,0)

So we have to integrate y=a2x2 from 0 to a
So we have to integrate y=a2x2 from 0 to a
Let us find the area under the curve

y=a2x2
Integrate from 0 to a

0aydx=0aa2x2dx
Using the uv rule of integration where u and v are functions of

abuvdx=[uvdx]abab(uvdx)dx


Here u=a2x2 and v=1
Hence

u=12(a2x2)121(2x)=xa2x20aydx=[a2x20adx]0a0a(xa2x20adx)dx0aydx=[a2x2(x)]0a0a(x2a2x2)dx0aydx=(a2a2(a))(a202(0))0a(a2x2a2a2x2)dx0aydx=0a(a2x2a2x2a2a2x2)dx0aydx=0aa2x2dx+0aa2a2x2dx But y=a2x2

0aydx=0aydx+0aa2a2x2dx0aydx+0aydx=0aa2a2x2dx20aydx=a20a1a2x2dx0aydx=a220a1a2x2dx


We know that 0a1a2x2dx=sin1xa

0aydx=a22[sin1xa]0a0aydx=a22(sin1aasin102)0aydx=a22(π20)0aydx=πa24
Hence area bounded =πa24 unit 2

Question:13

Find the area of the region y=x bounded by and y = x.

Answer:

y=x squaring both sides y2=x
This is a parabola, with no negative values of x, therefore it lies on the right of the Y axis, passing through the origin.
Now y=x means y and x both has to be positive hence both lie in 1st  quadrant hence y=x will be part of y2=x which is lying only in 1st  quadrant
And y=x is a straight line passing through the origin
We have to find area between y=x and y=x shown below

To find the point of interaction, solve two equations simultaneously.
Puty=xiny2=xx2=xx=1
Put x=1 in y=x we get y=1
The point of interaction is (1, 1)
Area between the parabolic curve and line = area under parabolic curve – area under line (1)


For the area under the parabolic curve

Y=x
Integrating from 0 to 1
01ydx=01x12 dx01ydx=[x12+112+1]0101ydx=[x3232]0101ydx=23[1320]01ydx=23

For area under straight line y = x
On integrating from 0 to 1
01ydx=01xdx01ydx=[x22]0101ydx=(1220)01ydx=12
Using (i)
area between parabolic =2312=16unit2
Hence area bounded is 16unit2

Question:14

Find the area enclosed by the curve y=x2 and the straight line x + y + 2 = 0.

Answer:

Y=x2X2=y
This equation depicts a parabola defining no positive values of y therefore it lies below X axis and passes through origin \
X + y + 2 = 0 depicts a straight line
For the point of interaction, both of the equations are solved simultaneously.
 Put y=(x+2) in x2=yx2=((x+2))x2=x+2x2x2=0(x+1)(x2)=0x22x+x2=0x(x2)+1(x2)=0x=1 and x=2

y=1 Put x=2 in x2=y22=yy=4
Therefore, the point of interaction are (-1, -1) and (2, -4)
The below figure shows the area to be calculated


Area between the line and parabola = Area under line – area under parabola (1)


To find the area under the line, integrate it from -1 to 2
Y = -(x + 2)
12ydx=12(x+2)dx12ydx=[x22+2x]1212ydx=[(222+2(2))(122+2(1))]12ydx=[6(122)]12ydx=152
For the area under a parabola, integrate it from -1 to 2
Y=x2
 Integrate from 1 to 212ydx=12x2dx12ydx=[x33]1212ydx=(233(1)33)12ydx=(83+13)12ydx=3
Substituting both values in (1)
area enclosed by line and parabola =152(3)=92 unit 2
The negative sign depicts the area below the X-axis
Hence the area enclosed is 92 unit 2

Question:15

Find the area bounded by the curve y=x, x = 2y + 3 in the first quadrant and x-axis.

Answer:

y=x Squaring both sides y2=x
The above equation depicts a parabola which does not define negative values for x and therefore, it lies to the right of the Y-axis and passes through the origin.
For plotting y=x, both the values of x and y have to be positive hence, this graph lies in the 1st quadrant only.
The point cannot be negative because the square root symbol itself depicts the positive root.
The equation x = 2y + 3 is a straight line.
To find the point of interaction, solve the two equations simultaneously.
 Put x=2y+3 in y2=xy2=2y+3y22y3=0y23y+y3=0y(y3)+1(y3)=0(y+1)(y3)=0y=1 and y=3 Put y=3 in y2=xx=32x=9
Y = -1 won’t make a difference since we are looking for the 1st quadrant only.
Therefore, the points of interaction are (9, 3)
Below is the figure showing the area to be calculated
The point of the interaction of a straight line on X axis can be calculated by substituting y = 0 in the equation of the line
X=2(0)+3=>x=3

The area enclosed = area under y=x – area under the straight line (1)


For the area under y=x integrate the equation from 0 to 9
09ydx=09x12dx09ydx=[x12+112+1]0909ydx=[x3232]0909ydx=23[9320]09ydx=23[(32)32]09ydx=23×33
For the area under a straight line
Y = (x-3) / 2

Integrating the equation from 3 to 9

39ydx=1239(x3)dx39ydx=12[x223x]39

39ydx=12((9223(9))(3223(3)))

39ydx=12((81227)(929))

09ydx=12×18


09ydx=9
Using (i)
area bounded =18-9=9 unit2
Hence area bounded by the curve and a straight line is 9 unit2

Question:16

Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y2=2x and x2+y2=4x.

Answer:

y2=2x depicts a parabola having no negative values for x and lying to the right of the Y axis while passing through the origin. The other equation of x2+y2=4x depicts a circle.

The general equation of a circle is given by x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0
Centre of circle is (g,f) and radius is g2+f2c

 In x2+y24x=0,2g=4g=2 and f=c=0
Hence center is ((2),0) that is (2,0) and radius is (2)2+020 which is 2
For the point of interaction, solve the two equations simultaneously.

 Put y2=2x in x2+y2=4xx2+2x=4xx22x=0x(x2)=0x=0 and x=2 Put x=2 in y2=2xy=±2


Therefore, the point of interaction are (0,0),(2,2), and (2,2)
Below is the diagram of the area to be calculated.



On integrating we will get an area for 1st quadrant only, but since it is symmetrical, we can multiply it by.
Area of shaded region = area under the circle - area under the parabola (1)To findg the area under circle

x2+y2=4xy2=4xx2y=4xx2y=(4x+x2+44)y=((x24x+4)22)y=((x2)222)y=22(x2)2
Integrate the above equation from 0 to 2

02ydx=0222(x2)2dx
 Using a2x2=x2a2x2+a22sin1xa


02ydx=[x2222(x2)2+222sin1x22]02


02ydx=[0(02222(02)2+222sin1022)]


02ydx=[(0+2sin1(1))]


02ydx=π


For the area under the parabola,

y2=2xy=2x

Integrate the above equation from 0 to 2

02ydx=202x12dx02ydx=2[x12+112+1]0202ydx=212[x3232]0202ydx=212×23[x32]0202ydx=212+13(2320)02ydx=232+32302ydx=23302ydx=83


Using (i)
area of shaded in 1st  quadrant =π83 unit 2
After multiplying it by 2
The area required of shaded region =2(π83) unit 2

Question:17

Find the area bounded by the curve y = six between x = 0 and x = 2π

Answer:

Below is the graph with the shaded region whose area has to be calculated

From the plot, it is seen that the area from 0 to π is positive whereas the area from π to 2π is negative.
But both the areas are equal in magnitude with opposite signs.
If we integrate them, the areas will cancel each other and the answer will be 0.

Therefore, we integrate the two areas separately and split the limits in two ways –

1) Find the area under six from 0 to π and multiply 2
2)Split the limit 0 to 2 π into 0 to π and π to 2 π
Here we will solve this by splitting the limits
Y=six
 Integrating from 0 to 2π02πydx=02πsinxdx02πydx=0πsinxdx+π2πsinxdx Because abf(x)dx=acf(x)dx+cbf(x)dx where c(a,b)
Now the limits become negative
 Hence for π to 2πsinx will become sinx02πydx=0πsinxdx+π2πsinxdx02πydx=0πsinxdxπ2πsinxdx02πydx=[cosx]0π[cosx]π2π02πydx=((cosπcos0))((cos2πcosπ))02πydx=(((1)1))((1(1)))
02πydx=4
Hence area bounded by six from 0 to 2 π  is 4unit^{2}

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are the important topics in the NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Maths Chapter 8?

The use of Integrals is all about integration to determine the area under curves and two functions. It is concerned with definite integrals to determine exact areas with emphasis on graphical representation to visualize regions that are bounded. Students are instructed to use these concepts in daily applications such as physics, economics, and engineering. The ability to draw curves and determine areas facilitates solving problems effectively. Solving NCERT Exemplar problems makes one effective in problem-solving, hence easy to solve integration-based area problems in examinations and practical applications.

2. What are the real-life applications of the application of integrals in Class 12?

Physics and Engineering are basically applied sciences to find and compute different significant values like area and volume, the amount of work done within a system, and finding the center of mass in mechanics and electric circuits.

Economics and Business – Helps in finding cost, revenue, and profit functions over time.

Biology and Medicine – Used in population growth models, blood flow analysis, and medical imaging, like CT scans.

Architecture and Design – Helps in designing curved structures, bridges, and roads by calculating surface areas.

Astronomy - Applied in the calculation of planetary motion and the space covered by celestial objects.

3. Why is Chapter 8 Application of Integrals, important in Class 11 Maths?

Class 12 Maths consists of Chapter 8, Application of Integrals, which is important as it is employed in determining the area under curves and between two curves, which is of practical use in real applications like physics, engineering, economics, and architecture. It is a continuation of the concept of integration and uses definite integrals to solve problems of daily life. It is a very important chapter for competitive examinations such as JEE and NEET, in which questions involving integrals in relation to the area are generally asked. These principles are used to solve intricate problems in curved surfaces, motion, and the study of real-life data and thus is an important topic in higher mathematics.

4. What are some common mistakes students make in Class 12 Application of Integrals?

Class 12 - Application of Integrals has improper limits of integration, where students get the upper and lower limits wrong, and do not use absolute values, since the area is always positive. Most also confuse curves with limits, which results in an improper setup of integration. Overlooking graphical representation results in misinterpretation of problems, whereas errors in calculation during integration, particularly with trigonometric and logarithmic functions, result in incorrect answers. To prevent these errors, students must practice regularly, thoroughly examine the provided curves, and recheck their calculations to avoid errors.
