Question 1: Find the area under the given curves and given lines:

(i) $\small y=x^2,x=1,x=2$ and $\small x$ -axis

Answer:

The area bounded by the curve $\small y=x^2,x=1,x=2$ and $\small x$ -axis

The area of the required region = area of ABCD
$\\=\int_{1}^{2}ydx\\ =\int_{1}^{2}x^2dx\\ =[\frac{x^3}{3}]_1^2\\ =\frac{7}{3}$
Hence the area of shaded region is 7/3 units

Question 1: Find the area under the given curves and given lines:

(ii) $\small y=x^4,x=1,x=5$ and $\small x$ -axis

Answer:

The area bounded by the curev $\small y=x^4,x=1,x=5$ and $\small x$ -axis

The area of the required region = area of ABCD
$\\=\int_{1}^{5}ydx\\ =\int_{1}^{2}x^4dx\\ =[\frac{x^5}{5}]_1^2\\ =625-\frac{1}{5}\\ =624.8$
Hence the area of the shaded region is 624.8 units

Question 2: Sketch the graph of $\small y=|x+3|$ and evaluate $\small \int_{-6}^{0}|x+3|dx.$

Answer:

y=|x+3|

the given modulus function can be written as

x+3>0

x>-3

for x>-3

y=|x+3|=x+3

x+3<0

x<-3

For x<-3

y=|x+3|=-(x+3)

Integral to be evaluated is

$\\\int_{-6}^{0}|x+3|dx\\ =\int_{-6}^{-3}(-x-3)dx+\int_{-3}^{0}(x+3)dx\\ =[-\frac{x^{2}}{2}-3x]_{-6}^{-3}+[\frac{x^{2}}{2}+3x]_{-3}^{0}\\ =(-\frac{9}{2}+9)-(-18+18)+0-(\frac{9}{2}-9)\\ =9$

Question 3: Find the area bounded by the curve $\small y=\sin x$ between $\small x=0$ and $\small x=2\pi$ .

Answer:

The graph of y=sinx is as follows

We need to find the area of the shaded region

ar(OAB)+ar(BCD)

=2ar(OAB)

$\\=2\times \int_{0}^{\pi }sinxdx\\ =2\times [-cosx]_{0}^{\pi }\\ =2\times [-(-1)-(-1)]\\ =4$

The bounded area is 4 units.

Question 4: Choose the correct answer.

Area bounded by the curve $\small y=x^3$ , the $\small x$ -axis and the ordinates $\small x=-2$ and $\small x=1$ is

(A) $\small -9$ (B) $\small \frac{-15}{4}$ (C) $\small \frac{15}{4}$ (D) $\small \frac{17}{4}$

Answer:

Hence the required area

$=\int_{-2}^1 ydx$

$=\int_{-2}^1 x^3dx = \left [ \frac{x^4}{4} \right ]_{-2}^1$

$= \left [ \frac{x^4}{4} \right ]^0_{-2} + \left [ \frac{x^4}{4} \right ]^1_{0}$

$= \left [ 0-\frac{(-2)^4}{4} \right ] + \left [ \frac{1}{4} - 0 \right ]$

$= -4+\frac{1}{4} = \frac{-15}{4}$

Therefore the correct answer is B.

Question 5: Choose the correct answer.

T he area bounded by the curve $\small y=x|x|$ , $\small x$ -axis and the ordinates $\small x=-1$ and $\small x=1$ is given by

(A) $\small 0$ (B) $\small \frac{1}{3}$ (C) $\small \frac{2}{3}$ (D) $\small \frac{4}{3}$

[ Hint : $y=x^2$ if $x> 0$ and $y=-x^2$ if $x<0$ . ]

Answer:

The required area is

$\\2\int_{0}^{1}x^{2}dx\\ =2\left [ \frac{x^{3}}{3} \right ]_{0}^{1}\\ =\frac{2}{3}\ units$
