It's trickier than it looks. Think differently

Calculus Level 3

Find the area bounded between y 2 = 4 + x { y }^{ 2 }=4+x and x + 2 y = 4 x+2y=4 . Give your answer as an exact value.


The answer is 36.

First, we find the points of intersection of y 2 = 4 + x y^{2} = 4+x and x + 2 y = 4 x+2y = 4 . Equating x x on both sides, we get y 2 4 = 4 2 y y^{2}-4 = 4-2y . Solving for y y gives us ( 4 , 2 ) (-4,2) .

We can now integrate x x with respect to y y . Observe that the area between the two equations is the absolute value of their difference.

A = 4 2 y 2 4 d y 4 2 4 2 y d y = 4 2 y 2 + 2 y 8 d y = [ 1 3 y 3 + y 2 8 y ] 4 2 = 36 A = \int_{-4}^{2} y^{2}-4 dy - \int_{-4}^{2} 4-2y dy \\ = \int_{-4}^{2} y^{2}+2y-8 dy \\ = [\frac{1}{3}y^{3}+y^{2}-8y]_{-4}^{2} \\ = 36

Hence, the area is 36 \boxed{36} .

4 2 ( 4 2 ( 2 + y ) y 2 ) \int_{-4}^{2}(4-2(-2+y)-y^{2}) = 36 36

so area bounded by the lines is 36 36

first integrate 1 from y^2-4 to 4-2y with respect to x then integrate the answere with reespect to y from -4 to 2.

double integration dxdy x changes from (y^2-4) to (4-2y) and y changes from (-4) to (2).

VERY EASY!
