For the conic a x 2 + b x y + c y 2 + d x + e y = 16 ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey = -16 .

For ( 0 , 4 ) : 4 c + e = 4 (0,4):\implies 4c + e = -4

For ( 0 , 4 ) : 4 c e = 4 (0,-4):\implies 4c - e = -4

For ( 2 , 0 ) : 2 a + d = 8 (2,0):\implies 2a + d = -8

For ( 2 , 0 ) : 2 a d = 8 (-2,0):\implies 2a - d = -8

For ( 1 , 4 ) : a + 4 b + 16 c + d + 4 e = 16 (1,4):\implies a + 4b + 16c + d + 4e = -16

c = 1 , e = 0 , a = 4 , d = 0 \implies c = -1, e = 0, a = -4, d = 0 and b = 1 4 x 2 + x y y 2 = 16 b = 1 \implies -4x^2 + xy - y^2 = -16 or 4 x 2 x y + y 2 = 16 4x^2 - xy + y^2 = 16 which is an ellipse since b 2 4 a c > 0 b^2 - 4ac > 0 .

Solving for y y we obtain:

y = 1 2 ( ± 64 15 x 2 + x ) y = \dfrac{1}{2}(\pm\sqrt{64 - 15x^2} + x)

Using the portion of the ellipse above the line y = x 2 y 1 ( x ) = 1 2 ( 64 15 x 2 + x ) y = \dfrac{x}{2} \implies \boxed{y_{1}(x) = \dfrac{1}{2}(\sqrt{64 - 15x^2} + x)} .

For the circle in (2) ( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = r 2 (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 .

For (1) ( 0 , 4 ) : a 2 + 16 8 b + b 2 = r 2 (0,4):\implies a^2 + 16 - 8b + b^2 = r^2

For (2) ( 0 , 5 ) : a 2 + 25 10 b + b 2 = r 2 (0,5):\implies a^2 + 25 - 10b + b^2 = r^2

Subtracting (1) from (2) we obtain: 9 2 b = 0 b = 9 2 9 - 2b = 0 \implies b = \dfrac{9}{2} .

For (3) ( 1 , 3 ) 1 + 2 a + a 2 + 9 6 b + b 2 = r 2 (-1,3) \implies 1 + 2a + a^2 + 9 - 6b + b^2 = r^2

For (1) ( 0 , 4 ) : a 2 + 16 8 b + b 2 = r 2 (0,4):\implies a^2 + 16 - 8b + b^2 = r^2

Subtracting (1) from (2) we obtain: a + b = 3 a + b = 3 and using b = 9 2 a = 3 2 b = \dfrac{9}{2} \implies a = -\dfrac{3}{2}

r 2 = 5 2 ( x + 3 2 ) 2 + ( y 9 2 ) 2 = 5 2 \implies r^2 = \dfrac{5}{2} \implies (x + \dfrac{3}{2})^2 + (y - \dfrac{9}{2})^2 = \dfrac{5}{2} .

Solving for y y we obtain:

y = ± 5 2 ( x + 3 2 ) 2 + 9 2 y = \pm\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2} - (x + \dfrac{3}{2})^2} + \dfrac{9}{2}

Using the portion of the circle below the line y = 9 2 y 2 ( x ) = 5 2 ( x + 3 2 ) 2 + 9 2 y = \dfrac{9}{2} \implies \boxed{y_{2}(x) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2} - (x + \dfrac{3}{2})^2} + \dfrac{9}{2}}

You can check that ( 1 , 3 ) (-1,3) satisfies the ellipse above.

From graph above the ellipse and the circle in (2) intersect at ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 0 , 4 ) (-1,3), (0,4) .

For 1 0 y 1 ( x ) d x \displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} y_{1}(x) dx :

Let I 1 = 1 2 1 0 64 15 x 2 d x I_{1} = \displaystyle\dfrac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^{0} \sqrt{64 - 15x^2} dx .

Let 15 x = 8 sin ( θ ) d x = 8 15 cos ( θ ) d θ \sqrt{15}x = 8\sin(\theta) \implies dx = \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{15}}\cos(\theta) d\theta \implies

32 15 cos 2 ( θ ) d θ = 16 15 ( 1 + cos ( 2 θ ) ) d θ = 16 15 ( θ + 1 2 sin ( 2 θ ) ) = \dfrac{32}{\sqrt{15}}\displaystyle\int \cos^2(\theta) d\theta = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}\displaystyle\int (1 + \cos(2\theta)) d\theta = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}(\theta + \dfrac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)) = 16 15 ( arcsin ( 15 x 8 ) + 15 x 64 15 x 2 64 ) \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}(\arcsin(\dfrac{\sqrt{15}x}{8}) + \dfrac{\sqrt{15}x\sqrt{64 - 15x^2}}{64})

I 1 ( x ) 1 0 = 16 15 ( arcsin ( 15 8 ) + 7 15 64 ) \implies I_{1}(x)|_{-1}^{0} = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}(\arcsin(\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{8}) + \dfrac{7\sqrt{15}}{64})

1 0 y 1 ( x ) d x = 16 15 arcsin ( 15 8 ) + 7 4 1 4 = 16 15 arcsin ( 15 8 ) + 3 2 = 3.587736 \implies \displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} y_{1}(x) dx = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}\arcsin(\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{8}) + \dfrac{7}{4} - \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}\arcsin(\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{8}) + \dfrac{3}{2} \approx = \boxed{3.587736}

For 1 0 y 2 ( x ) d x \displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} y_{2}(x) dx :

Let I 2 = 1 0 5 2 ( x + 3 2 ) 2 d x I_{2} = -\displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2} - (x + \dfrac{3}{2})^2} dx

Let x + 3 2 = 5 2 sin ( θ ) d x = 5 2 cos ( θ ) d θ x + \dfrac{3}{2} = \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2}}\sin(\theta) \implies dx = \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2}}\cos(\theta) d\theta

5 2 cos 2 ( θ ) d θ = 5 4 ( 1 + cos ( 2 θ ) ) d θ = 5 4 ( θ + 1 2 sin ( 2 θ ) ) = 5 4 ( arcsin ( x + 3 2 5 2 ) + 2 5 ( x + 3 2 ) ( 5 2 ( x + 3 2 ) 2 ) ) -\dfrac{5}{2}\displaystyle\int \cos^2(\theta) d\theta = -\dfrac{5}{4}\displaystyle\int (1 + \cos(2\theta)) d\theta = -\dfrac{5}{4}(\theta + \dfrac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)) = -\dfrac{5}{4}(\arcsin(\dfrac{x + \dfrac{3}{2}} {\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2}}}) + \dfrac{2}{5}(x + \dfrac{3}{2})(\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2} - (x + \dfrac{3}{2})^2}))

I 2 ( x ) 1 0 = 5 4 ( arcsin ( 3 10 ) arcsin ( 1 10 ) ) \implies I_{2}(x)|_{-1}^{0} = -\dfrac{5}{4}(\arcsin(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}}) - \arcsin(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}))

1 0 y 2 ( x ) d x = 5 4 ( arcsin ( 3 10 ) arcsin ( 1 10 ) ) + 9 2 3.340881 \implies \displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} y_{2}(x) dx = -\dfrac{5}{4}(\arcsin(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}}) - \arcsin(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}})) + \dfrac{9}{2} \approx \boxed{3.340881}

A 1 = 1 0 y 1 ( x ) y 2 ( x ) d x = 0.246855 \implies \boxed{A_{1} = \displaystyle\int_{-1}^{0} y_{1}(x) - y_{2}(x) dx = 0.246855} .

For the circle in (3) ( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = r 2 (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 .

From the circle in (2) using pts ( 0 , 4 ) (0,4) and 0 , 5 ) 0,5) we had b = 9 2 b = \dfrac{9}{2} .

For (4) ( 1 , 4 ) : 1 2 a + a 2 + 16 8 b + b 2 = r 2 (1,4): \implies 1 - 2a + a^2 +16 - 8b + b^2 = r^2

For (1) ( 0 , 4 ) : a 2 + 16 8 b + b 2 = r 2 (0,4):\implies a^2 + 16 - 8b + b^2 = r^2

Subtracting (1) from (4) we obtain a = 1 2 r 2 = 1 2 a = \dfrac{1}{2} \implies r^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \implies

( x 1 2 ) 2 + ( y 9 2 ) 2 = 1 2 (x - \dfrac{1}{2})^2 + (y - \dfrac{9}{2})^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} .

Solving for y y we obtain:

y = ± 1 2 ( x 1 2 ) 2 + 9 2 y = \pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2} - (x - \dfrac{1}{2})^2} + \dfrac{9}{2}

Using the portion of the circle below the line y = 9 2 y 3 ( x ) = 1 2 ( x 1 2 ) 2 + 9 2 y = \dfrac{9}{2} \implies \boxed{y_{3}(x) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2} - (x - \dfrac{1}{2})^2} + \dfrac{9}{2}} .

From graph above the ellipse and the circle in (3) intersect at ( 0 , 4 ) , ( 1 , 4 ) (0,4), (1,4) .

Changing the limits of integration for the ellipse y 1 ( x ) y_{1}(x) above 0 1 y 1 ( x ) d x = 16 15 arcsin ( 15 8 ) + 2 4.087736 \implies \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} y_{1}(x) dx = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{15}}\arcsin(\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{8}) + 2 \approx \boxed{4.087736} .

For 0 1 y 3 ( x ) d x \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} y_{3}(x) dx :

Let I 3 = 0 1 1 2 ( x + 1 2 ) 2 d x I_{3} = -\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2} - (x + \dfrac{1}{2})^2} dx

Let x 1 2 = 1 2 sin ( θ ) d x = 1 2 cos ( θ ) d θ x - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin(\theta) \implies dx = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos(\theta) d\theta \implies

I 3 = 1 2 π 4 π 4 cos 2 ( θ ) d θ = 1 4 π 4 π 4 ( 1 + cos ( 2 θ ) ) d θ = I_{3} = -\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \cos^2(\theta) d\theta = -\dfrac{1}{4}\displaystyle\int_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} (1 + \cos(2\theta)) d\theta = 1 4 ( θ + 1 2 sin ( 2 θ ) ) π 4 π 4 = π + 2 8 -\dfrac{1}{4}(\theta + \dfrac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta))|_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} = -\dfrac{\pi + 2}{8}

0 1 y 3 ( x ) d x = π + 2 8 + 9 2 = 34 π 8 3.857301 \implies \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} y_{3}(x) dx = -\dfrac{\pi + 2}{8} + \dfrac{9}{2} = \dfrac{34 - \pi}{8} \approx \boxed{3.857301}

A 2 = 0 1 y 1 ( x ) y 3 ( x ) d x = 0.230435 \implies \boxed{A_{2} = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} y_{1}(x) - y_{3}(x) dx = 0.230435}

A 1 + A 2 = 0.477290 \implies A_{1} + A_{2} = \boxed{0.477290} .
