The equation 2 ∣ x ∣ ∣ y ∣ + 2 ∣ x ∣ − 1 = 1 is an even on both x and y . There equation has 4 curves symmetrical on x- and y-axes. The area bounded by the inequality 2 ∣ x ∣ ∣ y ∣ + 2 ∣ x ∣ − 1 ≤ 1 and ∣ x ∣ ≤ 2 1 or − 2 1 ≤ x ≤ 2 1 is 4 × that of under the curve 2 x y + 2 x − 1 = 1 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 1 . We note that 2 x y + 2 x − 1 = 1 , ⇒ y = 2 x 1 − 2 1 and that y ≤ 2 1 for all x . There the area A bounded by the inequality 2 ∣ x ∣ ∣ y ∣ + 2 ∣ x ∣ − 1 ≤ 1 , ∣ x ∣ ≤ 2 1 and ∣ y ∣ ≤ 2 1 is same as that bounded by the inequality and ∣ x ∣ ≤ 2 1 . Therefore, we have:
A = 4 ∫ 0 2 1 y d x = 4 ∫ 0 2 1 ( 2 − x − 2 1 ) d x = 4 [ − ln 2 2 − x − 2 x ] 0 2 1 = 4 ( ln 2 1 − 2 1 − 4 1 ) ≈ 0 . 6 9 0 2
