x 2 + y 2 x y = 1 x^2+y^2-|x|\cdot y=1

The above equation is an equation of a closed figure in X-Y cartesian plane.

What is the area bound by the closed figure?

The given equation of closed figure is x 2 + y 2 x y = 1 x^2+y^2-|x|\cdot y=1

For this equation if we remove the mod on x, the area won't change.

So the equation is x 2 + y 2 x y = 1 x^2+y^2-x\cdot y=1 1 \longrightarrow 1

First we need to eliminate x y x\cdot y for easing the problems. This can be done by rotating the axis.(Rotating the axis will not change the area).


For rotating axis:-

If X and Y are coordinates after rotation and if θ \theta is the angle of rotation, then-

x = X c o s θ Y s i n θ x=Xcos\theta -Ysin\theta 2 \longrightarrow 2

y = X s i n θ + Y c o s θ y=Xsin\theta +Ycos\theta 3 \longrightarrow 3


Substituting 2&3 in 1 , we get,

X 2 + Y 2 ( X 2 s i n θ c o s θ + X Y c o s 2 θ X Y s i n 2 θ Y 2 s i n θ c o s θ ) = 1 X^2+Y^2-(X^2 sin\theta cos\theta +XYcos^2\theta-XYsin^2\theta-Y^2 sin\theta cos\theta)=1

For eliminating XY , θ \theta must be π 4 \frac{\pi}{4} ,

X 2 ( 2 ) 2 + Y 2 ( 2 3 ) 2 = 1 \implies \dfrac{X^2}{(\sqrt{2})^2}+\dfrac{Y^2}{(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}})^2}=1

This is in standard form of ellipse equation x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1

Area= π a b \pi ab


Here a = 2 a=\sqrt{2} and b = 2 3 b=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}

A r e a = π 2 2 3 Area=\pi \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}

A r e a = 2 3 Π \boxed{Area=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \Pi}
