MCQ
Area bounded by curves $y = {x^2}$ and $y = 2 - {x^2}$ is
 
  • $8/3$
  • B
    $3/8$
  • C
    $3/2$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$8/3$
a
(a) $y = {x^2}$.....$(i)$

$y = 2 - {x^2}$.....$(ii)$

$\therefore $ By equation $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get,  $x = \pm 1$

$\therefore $ $y = \pm 1$

$\therefore $ Required area $ = 2\left[ {\int_0^1 {(2 - {x^2})dx - \int_0^1 {{x^2}dx} } } \right]$

$ = 2\,\left[ {2x - \frac{{2{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^1 = 4\left[ {x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^1 = 4\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right) = \frac{8}{3}$.
