2 solutions

The enclosed area is symmetric about the x x -axis, and the two curves intersect at ( 0 , 1 ) (0,1) and ( 0 , 1 ) . (0, -1). As y 1 y 2 y 2 1 |y|*\sqrt{1 - y^{2}} \ge y^{2} - 1 for 1 y 1 -1 \le y \le 1 , it is probably easiest to integrate with respect to y y from y = 0 y = 0 to y = 1 y = 1 and then multiply the result by 2 2 . This results in an area of

2 0 1 ( y 1 y 2 ( y 2 1 ) ) d y = 2 [ ( 1 y 2 ) 3 2 3 y 3 3 + y ] 2*\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} (y*\sqrt{1 - y^{2}} - (y^{2} - 1)) dy = 2*[-\dfrac{(1 - y^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} - \dfrac{y^{3}}{3} + y] ,

which evaluated from y = 0 y = 0 to y = 1 y = 1 is 2 [ 1 3 + 1 ( 1 3 ) ] = 2 . 2*[-\dfrac{1}{3} + 1 - (-\dfrac{1}{3})] = \boxed{2}.

Note that a substitution of u = 1 y 2 u = 1 - y^{2} was used to evaluate the first term of the integral.

Hi sir

I wanted to ask this for quite some time now , are you a teacher ,sir ?

I am asking this because your solutions are always to the point , nothing extra , just the exact facts !

Thanks for the compliments, but no, I've never been a teacher. I just prefer to be concise. :)

@Sandeep Bhardwaj was your intentions calculate area of your ' Heart ' ? If so, then I think In that case either this question is wrong or this is not your heart . Since Area of your heart doesn't converge . :P

Note : please replace x by y in this question for better understanding what i'am trying to say and See this ¨ \ddot\smile

Nice one and thanks. But i was not having any such intentions.

But how can you say that area of my heart doesn't converge ? :P hahaaha

Why did you say decimal upto 3 decimal places????????? I wasted so much time rechecking the sum.highly overrated problem.
