The area enclosed between the curves $y^2=x$ and y = |x| is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{1}{6}$ sq. units
$y^2=x$, $y = |x|$
$y = |x|⇒y^2=x^2$
$y^2=x⇒x^2=x$
$x=0,1$ point of intersection
so area = $\int\limits_0^1\sqrt{x}-xdx$
$=\left[\frac{2}{3}x\sqrt{x}-\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^1$
$=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}$ sq. units
